India Vs Australia Day 1 Live Scores Highlights 3rd Test 2012: Australia have left out spinner Nathan Lyon to include Mitchell Starc, while Ryan Harris replaces the injured James Pattinson.“The pitch has got a fair bit of grass, and we decided to go in with four quicks,” Clarke said. “Bowling first today will help us win this test match.”
India have also opted to go with an all-out pace attack, leaving out spinner Ravi Ashwin for debutant paceman Vinay Kumar.“We would have liked to bowl as well,” said India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni. “The Perth wicket will help the fast bowlers more than spinners.”
