Shane is relishing new Test

Test cricket's greatest wicket-taker missed the past two Tests on his home ground through injury and suspension.

Warne has taken 79 wickets in 13 Tests against Pakistan at a stunning 18.37 average, compared with only 43 wickets at 47 in 14 Tests against India.

The Australian legend insists that Australia will not relent in their bid to win the series before the final Test in Sydney in the first week of January.

"Some of them (Pakistan's batsman) don't have a plan, and that works in our favour," Warne said.

"It's no use taking our foot of the pedal. We'll be trying to nail them. If we can bowl them out for 50 in this game then we will.

"Pakistan have generally come out and either tried to block or hit me for six. There's no real in between.

"Hopefully, they'll continue to play like that. If they start running down and trying to dominate me, well, they've tried that in the past and I suppose that's why my record is the way it is."

Warne is especially looking forward to bowling his leg-spin at Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq.

No Test bowler has dismissed Inzamam more than Warne, who has taken his wicket five times, but missed out in the Perth Test last week.

Warne took 3-38 in Pakistan's first innings in Perth - taking his world Test tally to 555 in 118 Tests - but did not bowl in the second, when Glenn McGrath demolished the demoralised tourists with his historic 8-24 haul.

"I fancy my chances against him," Warne said. "I've really enjoyed bowling to him over the years. All the Pakistani guys play pretty similarly, and that suits my style of bowling.

"But Pakistan are a very good side. You look at them and they've got batsman who average mid-40s to 50s. It's not as if these guys can't play.

"They could easily come our here and make 500 or knock us over."

Warne has an overall record of 37 Test wickets at 24.16 at Melbourne, with a best of 7-52 against the West Indies in 1992.
