Enthusiasm versus wise heads: Clarke

Australia captain Michael Clarke says the "youth and enthusiasm" of his team would be up against India's "old wise heads" during the eagerly-awaited Test series from December 26. Clarke said handling India's formidable batting line-up would be quite a task.

"I think it's going to be a really good contest between youth and enthusiasm versus some old wise heads in the Indian team," Clarke wrote in his column for Melbourne's The Daily Telegraph.

Clarke admitted that the Australians have been going "one step forward and two steps backwards" in the rebuilding process which has brought with it some very disappointing results in the past few months.

"All of us feel we're playing inconsistent cricket at the moment. We're showing so many great signs when we're playing well, but then we have episodes like Cape Town (shot out for 47) and the second innings against New Zealand at Bellerive that let us down," he wrote.

"There definitely has been improvement in this group. We're heading in the right direction. We have to be more consistent, but we've shown recently the depth of talent in Australian cricket."
