Pacer Johnson reveals Australia have started practising with SG balls to prepare for the two-test series in India

If there's been a consistent aspect in Australian skipper Ricky Ponting's recent utterances before his team's tour of India and the Ashes to follow, it is that he believes in going into every Test ufffd no matter where - with the singular objective of winning.

This resolve was echoed yesterday by his trump pace bowler Mitchell Johnson who revealed that he and his fellow quicks have already started bowling at home with Indian-made SG balls which will be used in the two-Test series to be played at Chandigarh and Bangalore.
