I really enjoy the shorter formats. It&#39;s about taking one step at a time, luckily I have a wealth of experience there with Aaron Finch, David Warner, Steve Smith, to continue to learn from those guys is great.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Whenever you play India it&#39;s a tough series because they&#39;re a very tough opposition. They&#39;ve got great batters and bowlers, so it&#39;s going to be a challenge. But as a player you always want to test yourself against the best opposition in the toughest conditions, and there&#39;s nothing tougher than India in India.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Labuschagne smashed four hundreds in five Tests through the Australian summer to continue his rich form and is all set to make his debut in ODIs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked about comparisons being made between him and modern day greats, he said: &quot;For people to speak like that is amazing, but there&#39;s a lot more work to be done before anything like that can be talked about. Kane Williamson, Virat Kohli, Steve Smith -- those guys have been doing it for five, six, seven years. To have one good summer doesn&#39;t make you a great player. So for me it&#39;s about trying to be consistent and trying to get Australia to win games.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s exciting, obviously, the summer I&#39;ve had, and it&#39;s been really fun to enjoy it with Steve (Smith). He&#39;s been a great help and the whole team. We&#39;re gelling so well together, and to win a summer five-nil, to not lose a game on home soil, it&#39;s just amazing.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s probably good preparation coming from (playing on the SCG) going to India that&#39;s probably the closest we have in Australia to spinning conditions,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n",
