It's about ourselves believing we're good enough: Aaron Finch

Resilence has been the feature of the recently concluded couple of limited overs series between India and Australia. Almost every cricket pundit had written off the Australian team, but with the performance, they came up was nothing short of phenomenal. Before the start of this series, the likes of Glenn Maxwell, Aaron Finch, Peter Handscomb and other were involved in the franchise-based Big Bash League, and as soon as the tournament concluded, they had to board a flight to India. In these circumstances, the 'workload' on the Aussie boys was much. 

To this, the happy skipper Aaron Finch went onto praise his team and said they as a team were waiting for a performance like this and always believed in their abilities. 

"The resilience and fight that we showed being down 0-2, it would have been easy to roll over in those small moments in the game, just let them drift away and India win the series," Finch said. "But the fight that we showed, we've had our backs against the walls for quite a while now so I'm really proud of the group.

"From 2-0 down to win 3-2 is pretty special. I've been coming here for a while now trying to win and haven't, so have a lot of Australian players, so it's a special moment. People have written us off for quite a while now. We always knew that the plans and the style that we wanted to play are all there, can win us the World Cup, win us big series against great teams and India are definitely a great team."It's about ourselves believing we're good enough and sticking to our game plan. We did that for four of the five games and India were too good in a close one in Nagpur. To get over the line in three of them was a great series all around."

"If you go in with all attacking players in these conditions you're going to struggle, because we know the wickets slow up and the quality of Chahal, Kuldeep, Jadeja these guys they're too good to just walk out and blast them out of the park," Finch said. "You need good batsmanship on these wickets and guys who know how to play situations."

"I've played a little bit of one-day cricket before but it felt like I hadn't really clicked in this format," Cummins said. "It felt like I bowled well in the Australian summer, so glad it keeps on clicking. Hopefully, it continues for the World Cup."We always seem to peak around the World Cup. I wouldn't want to be a selector, it's going to be a tough job whittling the team down to 15 and there are obviously a few to come back as well. Especially the batsmen, I thought the way they played the spin let alone the quicks, to get those scores on this kind of wickets, they made it look a lot easier than they were," he concluded.
