What do people reckon would be the best tactics against India at this stage in terms of the pitch prepared at the WACA? I'm not sure I'm liking the idea of a really green wicket, which is what is allegedly being prepared. Yes their batting is struggling, but ours is not exactly rock solid either, and I feel that putting out a green wicket makes the result too much of a wild card than is necessary. It's like the 2nd against test against NZ - anyone could win, and one inspiring performance from Zaheer or otherwise could be matchwinning. Usually I wouldn't be keen on the idea of putting out a relatively flat wicket against the Indian's, but in the current circumstances I think it would play into our hands the most. Our bowlers have looked far better in adverse conditions, and their batsmen seem to be struggling no matter what the condition. Fast, bouncy, but ultimately a good batting wicket for me.
