"I think we would try and win this Test. I also think we are very capable of doing it. It's not an easy wicket and we would really make it difficult for Indians in this Test," the burly left-hander said after the fourth day's play.

Hayden, who scored a splendid 123 to take the Australian lead to 213 by the end of the fourth day, said the pitch was not very conducive for batting.

"Obviously as an Australia player, you look to score quickly the runs you need to score. It's a difficult wicket, I have never played a reverse sweep ever before in my life."

Hayden did not know what target would suffice against the Indians but he confirmed his team would make a determined bid to secure their 16th consecutive Test win.
