India break quicker than anyone when going gets tough: Haddin

Australian wicket-keeper batsman feels India "break quicker than any other team in the world" when things are not going their way.


Haddin's remark comes in the wake of his side's convincing win over a fragile India in the first two Tests of the four-match series.



"We knew if we could keep them out there and put the numbers like we did on the board we knew we would get the rewards because they break quicker than anyone in the world," Haddin was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.

Australia have also not let Sachin Tendulkar score his 100th international despite the little master being in good form. Tendulkar has scored 226 runs at an average of 56.5 in the first two Tests, without the elusive century.

Haddin revealed how Australia have been successful in putting Tendulkar under pressure.

"What we have found is if we can build enough pressure on him he wants to score and he wants to feel bat on ball and he wants to get into a rhythm. We find if we can push him a little wider, make him feel for the ball a bit we can build enough pressure to get a chance and it has worked in the last two Tests," said Haddin.

On Tendulkar's much-awaited hundred, Haddin said: "There has been a lot of talk about his hundredth hundred but from our point of view it is our job to make sure he doesn't get it in this series."

The third Test begins here Friday.
