The Australians have completely dominated India this summer,but spinner Xavier Doherty told the media on Saturday the hosts will be wary of a backlash from a resurgent MS Dhoni amp; Co. when the two teams clash for the second time in the tri-series on Sunday. Excerpts:

On tomorrows match

India will be pretty chuffed with themselves after Melbourne first ODI. They have a very solid batting and quite a few key players in their line-up8230; We had set very high standards in the first game. One of our top order needs to get on a make a big score. Only then we can have a really competitive total. Secondly,we must learn not to take foot off the accelerator.

On scare against Lanka

We did drop our guards down. It put them on a bit of roll but we are pretty happy to take points. Angelo Matthews had done so before in a similar sort of situation 12-14 months ago. With 231 on the total,you are not going to win every game.

Replacing Lyon?

I am not thinking about it yet. Nathan Lyon has done a great job and is tough one to move out. I hope down the track another opportunity presents itself. Its probably a long-term goal. Its not really in the frame at the moment.
