Australian side low on experience: Kumble

Looking ahead to the series, Kumble rued both in 2004 at home and in 2007 Down Under, India came close to halt the Aussies before wilting in the final stages. But with a relatively inexperience Australian side at disposal, Kumble says it8217;s time to make amends.

8220;Last year, we came close to equal, if not win, the Test series in Australia and in 2004, we lost the Chennai Test on the last day because of rain. But this time I think we have got a brilliant opportunity,8221; Kumble said.

8220;This Australian side is low on experience. I think our vast experience and skill will be our advantage and we have to back it with the right result at the end of the series. All players had adequate rest and the perfect preparation for such a series and we are looking forward to it,8221; Kumble said.

Kumble said he was not losing sleep over the middle order, which looked brittle against Sri Lanka.
