Australia captain Tim Paine has said that their approach towards test matches has changed and he had a vision of winning all the five test matches in the Australian summer. The Aussie captain said this after Australia defeated New Zealand by 276 runs in the final test at Sydney.

Australia will nowplay a test series against Bangladesh away from home and then they would play India in a mouthwatering contest at home.
