Indian cricket team vice-captain Rahul Dravid today said it would be prudent not to read too much into the Pakistan’s poor display in the three-Test series in Australia in which they were swamped 3-0 by the hosts.“I don’t think we should read too much into the Pakistan team’s display in Australia. How they start the Indian tour is important. If they start well then what they have gone through in Australia will not matter,” Dravid told reporters at Wankhede Stadium on the eve of the N K P Salve Challenger Series. “I have not watched much of the series on TV, but have noticed an improved bowling performance towards the end of the tour in whatever little I have seen,” he said.He also welcomed the BCCI decision to advance the Duleep Trophy by a fortnight to accommodate the first two rounds ahead of the three-Test series against Pakistan.“It is a good move as we will get at least a couple of first-class matches and the warm-up game against Pakistan to get into the groove,” Dravid said.Dravid said he felt the team would not face any problem in adjusting to new physiothereapist John Gloster who has replaced the outgoing Australian counterpart Andrew Leipus and is set to take charge tomorrow as “both are thorough professionals.”“Andrew made a huge difference to the team since he joined us in 1999. Prior to his arrival not much attention was paid to this aspect of the game. We will miss him as a friend, but the man who replaces him is also a thorough professional and I don’t expect any problem.“It is true he (former Bangladesh team physio Gloster) will take some time to settle down. He’s joining the team well in advance (of the Pakistan tour) and has got time to know the boys who would work with him,” he said.
