Sydney, Jan 2 (IANS): Fast bowling great Glenn McGrath has predicted that Australia will beat India 4-0 in the ongoing four-match series here Down Under.

Australia thrashed India by 122 runs at Melbourne in the Boxing Day Test and the second Test starts here Tuesday.

"Yesterday I said three-nil but I stuffed up because I thought there was only three Tests, but definitely four-nil," McGrath was quoted as saying by Sydney Morning Herald Monday.

The 41-year-old, who was at the Sydney Cricket Ground at the launch of the McGrath Foundation's Pink Test, said the Australian team was on the way back to reasserting themselves as the best team in Test cricket.

"The way the guys have played at the moment I've been impressed. I think a team really builds itself around a bowling attack and you look at the bowling attack the team has at the moment and that will give the rest of the guys a lot of confidence.

"I'm very confident, as confident as I've been in years that this team is something special and I'm expecting big things from them," he said.
