Cricket Australia Chairman's XI pacer Jason Behrendorff feels the Aussies can get the better of India opener Gautam Gambhir if they maintain a tight line and length in the upcoming four-match Test series, starting on December 26. Behrendorff bowled nine overs for just eight runs, claiming the wicket of Gambhir to help Cricket Australia Chairman's XI make early inroads into the much coveted Indian batting line-up in the three-day warm-up match at Manuka Oval here on Monday.

CA Chairman's XI bowlers saw off Gambhir (24), Virender Sehwag (12), Ajinkya Rahane (15) and VVS Laxman (15) with scorecard reading 84 for four and Behrendorff claimed it was all due to the pressure his team's bowlers could exert. "We showed out there if you can put a lot of pressure and bowl a lot of dot balls then he'll try and play a big shot and we'll take some wickets," said Behrendorff.

The young bowlers complimented left-arm pacer Josh Lalor, who bowled from the other end and conceded only nine runs from his eight overs. "Josh and I bowled really well together in a good partnership and built a lot of dot balls and bowled a few back-to-back maidens, which was good and he just missed one I guess," Behrendorff said.
