Australia's turn to enjoy their luck: Gillespie
22.14 IST   04th Feb 2004

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie believes the law of averages is beginning to catch up with the Indians and it is now the turn of his team to ride its luck in the Tri-series finals beginning in Melbourne on Friday.

"The Indians have rode their luck, especially a couple of guys in the top-order and they have got away with a bit," the speedster said after a two-hour training session at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

"They have run the gauntlet pretty well all summer and got away with a lot. I think it is time luck goes our way a little bit," he said.

Australia pummeled India by five wickets in Perth on Sunday as the tourists were blown away on a pacy and bouncy WACA wicket by Brett Lee and company.

The Indians did go on to win the last league game against Zimbabwe on Tuesday in Perth but their batsmen looked far from comfortable, making heavy weather of a target of 136 runs.

Gillespie, however, felt there would not be any mental scars for India from Perth as the wicket at MCG was entirely different.
