GRAHAM Yallop says Australia must scrap like cage fighters against the kings of swing.
And skipper Michael Clarke must prove he's a true leader by filling a No. 3 slot in the four-Test series against No. 2-ranked India that Usman Khawaja isn't ready for, is beyond Ricky Ponting and eluding injury-plagued Shaun Marsh.
Former Test skipper Yallop said there was no way Australia's batting camp, starting today in Melbourne, would rectify issues against the moving ball that have resulted in five sub-150 totals in less than two years - and it didn't have to.
"Obviously some guys have lost their way but they need to learn how to stay at the crease and survive - it's not purely the swing that's getting them," said top-order technician Yallop, who averaged 41.1 over 39 Tests for Australia from 1976-84.
