<p> He does not consider the back-to-back Twenty20 losses to India a major setback but Australia's stand-in cricket coach Michael Di Venuto concedes that his team has certainly been outplayed in all three departments of the game so far.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The Australians lost the second T20 in Melbourne to give away an unassailable 2-0 lead to the visitors in the three-match series, the first bilateral triumph on Australian soil for M S Dhoni's men.<br /><br />"We're just getting completely outplayed in all three departments at the moment, the bat, ball and the field," he told reporters at the Sydney airport.<br /><br />"Their batters are in outstanding touch and have been all summer. We're struggling to get early wickets and get into their middle order," he added.<br /><br />Di Venuto said his team's batsmen have also struggled to cope with the spinners.<br />"They're playing exceptionally well, there's no doubt about that. I was pretty happy with our start with the bat, we were right on track but then spin again was our undoing in the middle overs," he said.<br /><br />However, Di Venuto said he wouldn't consider the results so far as a setback despite the fact that Australia's next T20 assignment happens to be the World Championship in India scheduled for March-April.<br /><br />"We've had quite a few debutants so far throughout the series. We've got some players resting or heading to New Zealand to prepare for that. The make-up of our side might be completely different -- we'll just have to see what the selectors come up with," he said. <br /></p>
