"I was lucky when I came into the Australian team that there were so many senior players around to answer the questions I wanted to ask and help me with advice and keep my feet on the ground. Now I am a little bit older and a little big greyer, so it's part of my job to make sure I do the same to the young guys coming in."

Due to the opposition of the Indian Cricket Board, the DRS is not being used in the series but Clarke hasno issues regarding it. "To me, it's about consistency. It's the same for both teams in this four-Test series. Here in India, if we use it, great, if we don't use it, great; It doesn't matter to me as captain of the Australian team. It doesn't bother any of the Australian players." Although he admitted about having a chat with former skipper Ricky Ponting but didn't wish to divulge any details. "I spoke to Ricky in Australia but not about this series." On a lighter note, the skipper informed that he is looking to roll his arm over at the Chepauk. "You'll see the spin bowling of Michael Clarke � definitely. In Chennai. Five wickets!"
