Cannot afford to go easy against India in Melbourne, says Paine

Melbourne, Dec 25 (UNI) Australia skipper Tim Paine has said that they cannot afford to go easy against India, despite having shot them off for a record low total of 36 in Adelaide and taking a 1-0 lead in the series.
Paine refused to buy into the talk of having a psychological advantage after that dominant performance in the second innings in Adelaide.
Talking ahead of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, Paine said, "We can't pay any attention to mental scars or whatever it is that people are talking about. We know that India is a proud cricket country, they're extremely talented Test match side. They've got some very dangerous players and the moment we take the foot off the pedal and think we're going alright - think we saw in England in the fifth Test that we can come unstuck pretty quickly."
"We know that some of the players that they're talking about coming into the side like KL Rahul or Rishabh Pant are dangerous players who like to take the game on and play positively. If we give guys like that an inch, they'll take them all. So we've to be bang on the mark tomorrow as we were in Adelaide.
And prepare to turn up tomorrow for another five day battle. We know that we won the first Test well but it was only stumps on day 2 when we were in a serious fight to win that Test match so that's the attitude that we're taking into this Test."
