Australia aim to tie Test record
Australia captain Ricky Ponting
has fired his
side up for the second Test against India
by talking about the prospect of a
record-equalling win.
Victory in Sydney would see the hosts match Steve Waugh's side of 1999-2001 in winning 16 successive Tests.
"I did mention it to the team this morning," Ponting admitted on the eve of the clash.
"I'm sure there will be a bit more excitement if we happen to win this Test," the batsman added.
Australia go into the second match of the four-Test series as overwhelming favourites after crushing India by 337 runs in Melbourne last week.
An Aussie attack with just 98 Test caps between them, bowled India - whose top order boast a combined 472 Test appearances - out for under 200 twice.
