On the first day of the tour opener against Queensland at Gabba, Kapil said unlike Pakistan, who had been fed only on one-day diet before they came to Australia, his team had played three Tests against New Zealand and would have played two four-day games in the lead up to the first Test starting at Adelaide on Dec 10.

``Who gets two first class games before a Test match these days? I would say it has been a good preparation for us,'' said Kapil.

``I would not say our bowlers are world class and that our team is a great one. But these bowlers are young, crafty and steady. They could spring a surprise,'' he added.

Kapil was of the view there was no need to indulge in aggressive talking. ``We have three top class batsmen whose technique and concentration is top class. They don't need to talk. Their bats do the talking.''

He said heexpected much from his senior players. ``There are plenty of youngsters in the side. I want commitment from my side. The seniors must help out the juniors. Only then the nucleus of a good side can be built.''

Kapil did not see much wrong in his batsmen not attempting sharp singles on the opening day of this four-day game. ``I dont see it as a major fault. It is a practice game and players are not fully stretching themselves I dont blame them.''
