Australia's coach John Buchanan declared on Monday that his team will not relax in the fourth Test in Mumbai despite taking a winning 2-0 lead in the four-mach series.
"Having won the series we will not take the game [Mumbai match] lightly. Every Test match is an important match for the Australian team or any team. There is no such thing as dead rubber. We would like to continue the way we have been playing," Buchanan said in Mumbai on Monday.

He said winning the series is certainly "one of the highlights" of his career.
"We always wanted to win a series here [in India]. It's a wonderful achievement by the team and, obviously, a victory is a victory. Certainly, the moment in Nagpur is special."
He praised Adam Gilchrist's captaincy and said the wicketkeeper was fully aware that he would be handing over the role of captain to Ricky Ponting once he is fit.
"Adam Gilchrist is an outstanding person and carries himself extremely well off the field also. He has done a great job with the bowling and handles all situations very well."
Talking about the pitch at the Wankhede stadium, the venue of the fourth Test, he said it would afford more bounce.
"We were here twelve months ago for the TVS Cup and the wicket not only had a little bit of bounce, but also had a lot of turn. It is a little early to say about what the team will look like, but we will stick to our combination. We will go with one spinner and three seamers and don't think we will change that balance."
He said the inclusion of ace fast bowler Brett Lee, who has been forced to sit out of the first three Tests because of the fine showing of the other three seamers -- Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie and Michael Kasprowicz in the first three Tests -- is doubtful.
