Kumble banks on batsmen in Australia

Gung-ho after the triumph over Pakistan, India captain Anil Kumble today put the onus on the star-studded batting line-up to deliver the goods and notch up a rare series win against formidable Australia. Addressing a press conference on the eve of the team's departure for a four-match Test series, followed by a tri-series, Down Under, Kumble expressed hopes that the in-form batsmen, specially the middle order, would put enough runs on the board to give a cushion to the bowlers.
