Aussies will be back to being aggressive: Jacques

Adelaide, January 22:: After losing in what was a cordial third cricket Test, Australia would be back to their fiercely competitive and aggressive ways, albeit without crossing the limit, in the fourth and final Test beginning Thursday, said opener Phil Jacques.

"We would be fiercely competitive and as aggressive as possible. We will approach it as we always approach a game that is to play it hard. We will be trying to be as aggressive as possible without crossing the line," he said.

Jacques, done in by left-arm swing bowler Irfan Pathan in both the innings at Perth, said he wanted to "get him" in the next match.

"He bowled really tight lines (in Perth). He bowled a couple of good balls. That happens in cricket, hopefully, I can get him next time," Jacques said.

Jacques said Australia looked for a change in fortune with Matthew Hayden returning to the fold.

"Matt coming back into the side will make a difference to our team and give us a whole lot of confidence. He's a fine player with a fine record.

"He's fantastic, has a wealth of knowledge. My mindset did not change too much not having Matt there but having him there will give the side what we need at the top of the order," he said.

Jacques so far in his short career has had a good standing going with Hayden.

"Every Test we get a little more understanding of the way the other plays. We are starting to work out when we're having our low and high periods. It's definitely good to have a regular player there that's for sure...".
