Having prepared well to face the awesome Pakistan pace battery, stylish Indian batsman V V S Laxman was today confident of continuing his sparkling form from Australia in the coming series.

8220;I have prepared myself to face the Pakistan bowling with confidence. I have watched video recordings of Pakistani bowlers in action in New Zealand and South Africa,8221; Laxman told reporters here.

8220;I have gained a lot of confidence through my performance. I will continue my form in Pakistan.

8220;Australia was a world class team and we played well against them, but Pakistan is another team,8221; he said.

Praising the Pakistani pacers, Laxman said they were 8220;world class bowlers8221; with 8220;raw pace8221; and expected them to bowl well on their turf, but 8220;I have my own way of countering them.8221;

The Hyderabad batsman said all 15 members of the Indian team would have to contribute their best in Pakistan to emerge with flying colours.

To a query Laxman said coach John Wright and newly-appointed bowling consultant Kapil Dev were doing a 8220;good job.8221;
