India did not have stomach to battle: Steve

Former Australian captain Steve Waugh has said that India did not have the stomach for the battle and termed Australia’s series win in India in 35 years as a “triumph of team unity and attention to detail”.

“Quite simply they didn’t have the stomach for the battle and didn’t bear any resemblance to the rampaging unit that smashed us around in Australia last season,” Waugh said.

Waugh, who famously declared four years ago that his world-beating side which won 16 Tests on the trot could not be called ‘invincibles’ until they conquered the Final Frontier, praised Adam Gilchrist’s men for their planning and discipline.
