we will win -crarke

The tourists were bowled out for a measly 74 - the second lowest total in international Twenty20 history - and Clarke, with the help of Adam Gilchrist and Brad Hodge, led Australia to their target inside 12 overs.Clarke reckons the win provides the perfect lead in to the 50-over series between Australia, India and Sri Lanka, which begins on Sunday at the Gabba in Brisbane."I think we'll take a lot of momentum and certainly confidence into the one-day series. I think that was our goal going into the game,"We wanted to perform as well as we possibly could, win the match and take some confidence into what's going to be a fantastic one-day series."Clarke, who will continue to take charge of the side should Ponting not recover from his back injury, is a big fan of the 50-over format and is looking forward to the opportunity to show it can rival Twenty20 for excitement.He said: "I really hope one-day cricket stays because I think it's a different game."I know our team enjoys playing both forms so hopefully there's enough room for all three forms of the game."India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni faces the challenge of lifting his team after their crushing defeat in time for Sunday's opener against the hosts.
