This Indian batting line-up will fare much better in Australia: Watson

New Delhi: Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson feels that the faltering Indian batsmen will fare much better against Australia later this year compared to how they performed against England in the ongoing five-match series.

Save skipper Virat Kohli (544 runs in 4 Tests) and

partially Cheteshwar Pujara, most of the Indian batsmen could not perform up to their potential as England have already clinched the series with a 3-1 lead.

"It is not easy to play swing bowling. Trust me when Australia travel to England for Ashes next year, it won't be easy for them also. England is the only place where the ball swings that much primarily due to conditions. You just can't land in England once every three years and be successful," Watson said during an interaction.

However, the former all-rounder feels that India's tour Down Under at the end of the year would be much better compared to England.

"Look, if you check records, Indian batsmen of late have done well in Australia. Virat has scored loads of runs and I remember a fine century by (KL) Rahul at the SCG. Even Rahane scored a few runs," Watson, who played 59 Tests, 190 ODIs and 58 T20Is for his country, said. "In Australia,

the kookaburra will stop swinging after first 10 or may be 15 overs unlike Dukes which can swing all day. I don't think bounce would be that much of a problem."
