Asked about his role in leading the batting line-up against a superior Indian spin attack, Clarke replied that success can never be guaranteed but he and his colleagues have trained hard to atleast have a shot at success. "Reputation is irrelevant, to be honest, especially when it�s my reputation. I start on zero like everybody else. My last tour to India wasn't anywhere near as successful as I would have liked. I really enjoy the challenge of facing spin but it still gets me out, like it does every player. "I'll tick every box off the field in terms of preparation and training and then I will go in and enjoy myself." Questioned whether he has done an analysis of strengths and weakenesses of his team as well as his opponents, Clarke wnet on the defensive. "Australian team has no weaknesses at all (Laughs). I don't think it will be right for me to sit here and tell you what the Australian team's strengths and weaknesses are and I don't think it will be fair to give you the Indian team's strengths and weaknesses either. "We have to be really focussed just on us and on the areas we need to get better at and not worry too much about our opposition." Although he admitted that the current Australian team doesn't have too much experience like it had few years back but the focus will be on performing as a team. "When you look at the team now compared to when I first came in, we had so many experienced players, so many great players; probably seven or eight players in the team when I made my debut were as good as any seven or eight players in the world. We are a lot less experienced now. "Yes, every one of us has the same goals, the same commitment, the same work ethic. We know that to be successful, we need to perform well as a team. It's not about individuals making a hundred or a two hundred or taking five wickets. That's not going to give us the success we want over a long period." MORE
