Shane Warne says the wounded Australian team led by Ricky Ponting will strike back at India in the third Test at Delhi.

"I think Australia will bounce back, I think that really hurt them, that last Test match, and I'm sure they'll fight back in the Aussie way," he said.

Warne said the turnaround was possible if senior players like Ponting, Michael Clarke and Matthew Hayden would start getting more runs.

"Hopefully they win the toss and put some big runs on the board. I think it's been a fantastic series so far and I'm sure the Aussies will fight back. But as far as I'm concerned, I am very happily retired," he was quoted as saying by the AAP.
