I'd be staggered if the pitch doesn't get a significant mow before the match from that state. Considering India has three bowlers who consistently hit the seam and we only have two (Starc tends to miss it a lot) I doubt a green pitch would advantage us.
If India go for Umesh he will Lick plenty of runs in the second spell.india should stick with 4 seamer

If I have to selects Indian test team I can pick Vihari for #3 and Virat for # 6 beneficial as vihari job isjust stay their and remove shines (cherry) of the ball

Pujara /Rahane 4/5 far better than Kohli at 4 on Perth

What kind of 4d logic is planning to start an innings 20/3?

So Perth pitch will be considered as sporting or doctored ? Just asking because I have read on this forum many times that Australia doesn't doctor wickets. :ph34r:
The curator will be a sporting doctor. That should answer the question.

The ICC have to take their crania out of their recta and do something about this. That's winning runs in a close match.

What, not confident enough in Kohli to survive the newish ball? Thought he was supposed to be the best in the world

It is actually a novel idea. In pitches where there is too much juice, Kohli can forego his ego and come at 5 sending Rahane at 4. Pujara and Rahane can blunt the new ball and with the confidence that India's best batsman is yet to come. Kohli can take advantage of it later. Pushing to 6 will be too much though.

16 uncalled no balls in first innings means Aus would have had a 1 run lead if called (or even more if calls affected his rythem).

I hope there wasn't 16 uncalled in 2nd innings as that would of been an Aussie win

Meh, if he was repeatedly called he may have got that second lbw without overstepping.

Or he'd have taken 5 wickets in those 16 extra balls

Who knows really

If Kohli really is the best, he should be able to deal with a pitch with a bit of juice in it. To protect him down the order would be a coward move.

If he'd bowled that ball from behind the line, Lyon would have middled it (and the other 15 as well) through mid wicket for four, thereby giving Australia a comfortable win. You know it. Ishant knows it. Kohli knows it. India knows it. The ICC knows it (but wants India to win anyway). The whole world knows it. #cheatingindians
