Date-stamped : 06 Oct96 - 14:12 3 October 1996 Testing times ahead for Australia: Mark Taylor BOMBAY - Australian captain Mark Taylor on Wednesday warned his players to break out of their "one-day mindset`` if they wanted to win next week`s one-off test match against India. The five-day test at New Delhi`s Ferozeshah Kotla grounds, which begins on October 10, will be Australia`s first in eight months and their first in India in 10 years. "I am not really worried about the wickets,`` Taylor said after his team`s training session at the Wankhede stadium. "My priority is to get the players out of the one-day mindset and into playing five-day cricket.`` Since the Adelaide test against Sri Lanka in January, the Aus- tralians have played in the World Cup in the Indian sub-continent and the Singer Cup in Sri Lanka in August. Taylor, however, was not worried that his team would go into the test without star spinner Shane Warne and with only Steve Waugh having previously played test cricket in India. "The Indians can make whatever wicket they want to,`` he said. "We have got players to handle that. "We have four bowlers who can bowl spin and if there is a turning wicket, I`m sure we will put pressure on the Indians.`` Taylor added that Warne`s absence from the tour following surgery on his spinning finger would not affect the morale of the team. "We have played without Warne in the past and won a test match against Pakistan last year when he was not there. So there`s no cause for alarm. "Probably on paper we do look a side that is stronger in batting, but we have to make sure that our bowling is consistent also.`` Allrounder Steve Waugh is the only survivor of Australia`s last tour of India in 1986, which produced only the second tied test in history. But 12 members of the current squad played in the World Cup here earlier this year. Australia reached the final before losing to Sri Lanka. After the New Delhi test, the Australians will join South Africa and India in a triangular one-day series in which each team plays the other thrice in the preliminary league. The top two advance to the final in Bombay on November 6. Meanwhile, Indian captain Sachin Tendulkar sounded an ominous warning to the Australians by hammering two successive centuries in a domestic one-day tournament. "I am happy with my form, because you`ve got to be at your best to defeat the Australians,`` the 23-year-old said. Tendulkar welcomed Taylor`s suggestion to schedule an additional sixth day in the test match if there was the possibility of a result, but left the decision to the Indian board. If the sixth day is included, the Indians will have just a day`s rest before taking on South Africa in the opening match of the limited-overs triangular at Hyderabad on October 17.
