Veteran Australian batsman Mike Hussey has predicted that India will try to make a comeback in the Perth Test after losing the Melbourne and Sydney games.

He said his side is not thinking of thrashing India 4-0 despite winning the first two Tests.

"It's going to be a tough Test match. India have got some great players, with a lot of experience and a lot of pride, The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Hussey, as saying.

"I'm expecting them to bounce back quite hard in this Test match. We haven't spoken about (a 4-0 series win) at all," he added.

His statement comes after India suffered an innings and 68 run defeat at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Hussey, who scored an unbeaten 150 in Sydney, is looking forward to batting at his home ground, where curator Cameron Sutherland expects a fast and bouncy pitch.

"I love the Perth Test match. The crowd here give unbelievable support. The roar you get as a local player when you come out to bat or take a catch is 10 times louder than any other player," he said.

"I know the conditions extremely well as well, so that's an advantage over other players from around the country and around the world. It is a great place to play cricket. Once you get in on this pitch, it's fantastic for batting," he added. (ANI)
