I've been in this position before and it's not alarming: Aaron Finch calm despite lean spell

The 32-year-old opener recently recorded a golden duck in the second T20 international between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) which was eventually washed out.

Australian Limited-overs skipper Aaron Finch is calm and confident despite being unable to make his presence felt in recent T20 clashes, ahead of a vital Test series against India. 

"At the end of the day I'm still practicing well, still hitting them well, still feel good," said Finch.

"I've been in this position before and it's not alarming, it's more just trying to get through that initial five-10 balls and reassess.

"I've still been working very hard on my technique and doing a lot of work with (Australia batting coach) Graeme Hick and trying to adjust a couple of little things," he added. 

The 32-year-old opener recently recorded a golden duck in the second T20 international between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) which was eventually washed out. 

"It's not ideal, don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day it's the opposite format. I'm sure once I get to Brisbane for the Shield game I'll be able to get stuck into the red-ball stuff a bit more," concluded Finch.

Australia will be looking to seal the three-match T20 series against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Sunday, with the first Test all set to take place in less than a fortnight.
