Australia's batting boot camp focussed more on mental work rather than technical shortcomings with wicketkeeper Brad Haddin predicting the form of the team's batting line-up will make-up for their inexperience in the series against India.
Australia's recent batting woes, which included 47 all out against South Africa in Cape Town and a dismal buckling to lose the Hobart test against New Zealand, prompted the bosses to convene a boot camp before the first test against India on Monday.
The three-day camp was held this week at the Melbourne Cricket Ground under the supervision of coach Mickey Arthur and Haddin said the theme was about clearing the batsmen's mind.
"Freeing your head, having no other thoughts in your head but just playing cricket," Haddin said, on Sunday . "You'll see over the next five days whether it has all paid off.
"I think we're in a very good space. We've had a week to prepare. We couldn't be more prepared and more looking forward to the game."
