    "editor1": "<p><em>Kolkata, Nov 2 - Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin on Friday said India have a good chance to win in Australia although they will have to push hard for every inch as it won&#39;t be easy Down Under.<\/em><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;India have a good chance Down Under. They are a good side and I fancy them winning there. Of course it won&#39;t be easy. It never is in Australia. But this team can do it,&quot; Azharuddin said on the sidelines of Jagmohan Dalmiya Annual Conclave at the Eden Gardens here.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAzharuddin&#39;s comments echoed Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh, who also said recently that this is India&#39;s best chance to win in Australia.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe Australians will be without regular captain Steve Smith and experienced opener David Warner as the pair are serving a one-year ban due to their roles in the ball tampering scandal in March this year.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAlong with Azharuddin, West Indies batting legend Brian Lara, former India captain Sourav Ganguly and former skipper Carl Hooper were present and took part in a panel discussion celebrating the silver jubilee of the 1993 CAB Jubilee Tournament: the Hero Cup.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFormer South Africa captain Graeme Smith, who delivered a lecture on Dalmiya, was also part of the discussion, during which all of them went down memory lane.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAzharuddin was also asked about the Kookaburra ball which will be used in Australia and the share of criticism it copped from Smith during his speech. Smith said &quot;the Kookaburra ball is letting people down&quot; as it does not swing for a long period of time resulting in &quot;boring&quot; draws.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTendulkar also recently reckoned that once the Kookaburra ball loses its hardness it will become extremely good for shot-making in Australia, something that should suit the Indians.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I think different balls are used in different countries and you can&#39;t do much about the rules. Yes with the Kookaburra ball, it doesn&#39;t swing a lot but in England they use the Dukes ball, in India SG, so that&#39;s how it is.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAzharuddin has an extraordinary record at Eden and he signed off by saying that the stands have changed since the time he played here and the grounds looks lovely.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;The stands were made of cement then. Now it has chairs. The ground is always special to me.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
