"Australia were number one in the world for the last 10 to 15 years, but that has been changed now. It is a beginning for India," Sreesanth, known for his aggressive bowling, said.

Asked about the controversies during the tour, he said "the players never discussed such things.We just concentrated on cricket.Our job was to perform," he said.

On Praveen Kumar who won the Man of the Match award in the second tri-series final match, Sreesanth said, 'I know him from Ireland series. Kumar has been a revelation, while Ishant Sharma, another success on the tour, has the height advantage".

Speaking to reporters at the International Airport near here, Sreesanth, who arrived from Delhi this morning, said he was not bothered about the runs he conceded.

“I am basically a wicket taking bowler.I concentrate on my bowling and not on how much runs I concede.My job is to take wickets. The team also wants the same."

Sreesanth, who was not sure of playing in Australia following a shoulder injury, said his family and friends supported him while he was undergoing Ayurveda treatment.

"I was not sure of playing in Australia.I am grateful to my family members and friends for supporting me during that time which gave me full confidence."

On the coming South Africa series at home, he expressed the hope that India would do well against South Africa.
