Ready to bat at any position, any number: Badrinath

8220;It has been a dream for me and if I make my Test debut against Australia, world8217;s number one team, it just could not get better,8221; a beaming Badrinath said after the net session in Hyderabad on the eve of Board President XI8217;s warm-up match against Australia.

Badrinath said the practice match would help him get a fair idea about the Australian side.

8220;The match now becomes even more important for me, because it allows me play against the same Australian players whom I might face again in the Test series,8221; he said.

Assessing the Aussies, Badrinath said it would be a challenge to face the Australian attack.

8220;They have a great pace bowling attack but I think their spin department is little weak and inexperienced,8221; he observed.

Runs have flowed from Badrinath8217;s blade in domestic cricket and the 28-year-old three-ODI veteran is also one of the most athletic fielders around.

8220;I enjoy fielding and I hope to contribute to the team8217;s cause with both my batting and fielding,8221; said the Tamil Nadu batsman.
