The Australian coach John Buchanan said that the Australians were very positive about the one-day series and would go all out to win it. "It's a new series. We would like to win. We are looking forward to the series," he said. He added that "Our strategy is simple. We are trying to win more (one day) games than India."

Talking to reporters in Bangalore ahead of the first one-day match against India starting tomorrow, Buchanan did a turn-around on Shane Warne dismissing suggestions that the ace leg-spinner was physically and mentally tired after the Test series. Buchanan, who went on record questioning Warne's fitness ahead of the third and final Test in Chennai inviting a contradiction from skipper Steve Waugh, said Warne was preparinfifor the one-day series. "In fact, he (Warne) is being considered for the one-day series."

Asked about the strategy against Harbhajan Singh, their nemesis in the Test series, Buchanan quipped, "We will use the bat."
