They combined extreme power through Jerome\u2019s fine shots and great serves from Amit Amit.

We got a lot of experience from it, which hopefully would be good for us in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Australia head coach Mark Lebedew: \u201cIt was a very difficult match for us today for lots of reasons. One of the reasons, of course is that India played very well, especially in the beginning. They played in a different way that we don\u2019t see very often, causing us some problems particularly with their block. After the second set, we could put more pressure with the serve and then we can take advantage of our size. It\u2019s amazing that we could change the match. We are happy to win as it gave us a chance to continue in the tournament and we\u2019ll wait and see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Australia captain Harrison Peacock: \u201c\u00a0Happy to take the win, which is crucial for us. India played very\u00a0well today\u00a0and it was a difficult time to play early in the morning.
