'India's seniors will adjust fast'
MELBOURNE, December 22: Australia's new coach Tim Nielsen on Saturday heaped praise on the Indian team and refused to read much into the wash-out at St Kilda.
"Can't help about the weather, but the Indians have just come off a tough Test series against Pakistan. It gives them - especially the senior players - a chance to freshen up before the Boxing Day Test at the MCG," Nielsen said.
The coach, who addressed the media in the company of Symonds, in fact went out of his way to laud India's newfound aggression.

"They have a few youngsters in the side who are aggressive and have a positive approach. It's good for India because it helps them to be competitive," Nielsen said.
Talking about India's senior players, Nielsen felt that the team management will not find it difficult to fit them into the side. "The older players know how to pace themselves. As you get older it's easier to play the big games for you know how to play and recover. The same holds good for India's top players," Nielsen said.
