Brisbane: With an eye to improve the national team's dismal sub-continental record, Cricket Australia was mulling the idea of importing soil from India and install Asian-style practice pitches at the National Cricket Centre here.

Australia boasts of a woeful record in sub-continent, the latest being their 0-4 thrashing in India last year. Since their tour to Bangladesh in 2006, Australia have played 13 Tests in Asia out of which they won just one win.
