Australia unchanged for second Test

Tuesday, December 21 2004

Australia have named an unchanged 12-member squad that took part in the first Test against Pakistan at Perth, for the second Test to be held at the MCG in Melbourne.

The Aussies overwhelmed the visitors at the WACA by a margin by 491 runs, with Glenn McGrath being the chief destroyer in the final innings, picking up a career-best 8/24.

The second Test will be held at the MCG, despite the doubts that were raised over its conditions as a result of the renovation it is going through for the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

Australia squad:
Justin Langer, Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting (captain), Damien Martyn, Darren Lehmann, Michael Clarke, Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne, Jason Gillespie, Michael Kasprowicz, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee.
