India Vs Australia Day 1 Live Scores Highlights 3rd Test 2012
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.”
Australia lead the four-match series 2-0 after winning the first test in Melbourne by 122 runs and the second by an innings and 68 runs in Sydney last week.
Australia – Michael Clarke (captain), David Warner, Ed Cowan, Shaun Marsh, Ricky Ponting, Mike Hussey, Brad Haddin, Peter Siddle, Ben Hilfenhaus, Ryan Harris, Mitchell Starc.

Ricky Ponting is under a scanner as his last century way back somewhere in 2010. Adding to the injury, the team’s performance has not been upto the mark. So Ponting is likely to face the wrath and might be axed. Skipper Clarke needs to be patient and continue the revival efforts for the team. David Warner had silenced the critics by playing a good innings against New Zealand.
India is riding high with a full strength batting line up and in form batsmen like Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Sachin and Laxman. Above all they have the inspiring captaincy of MS Dhoni. The seeds of good future performances were sowed in the last two series down under. India was always close for a test series win but ultimately things went the other way round.
MS Dhoni is aware that they shouldn’t take the out of form Australian team lightly. But at the same time he agrees that this is their best chance ever to upstage Australia down under. With the comeback of Zaheer Khan, there is a little betterment in the bowling department. Playing 5 seamers will never be an ideal deal for Indians as they have to rely on their strength of spin.
Bouncy tracks of Australia will create problems for Indian batsmen but we also can’t write off the fact that couple of previous wins for India came on the bounciest of Australian pitches. Things are even stevens at this moment. Let us see which team can handle the pressure well and come out as a true champion! Enjoy every bit of India Vs Australia 2012 live streaming online.

Australia's top three in the batting order -- David Warner, Ed Cowan and Shaun Marsh -- have just five Tests between them in one of Australia's most unfamiliar combinations in more than three decades.
Warner has played just two Test matches but comes to the Melbourne Cricket Ground with a last start unbeaten 123 against New Zealand, while three-Test Marsh crunched 99 off 52 balls in domestic Twenty20 just days ago.
Debutant Cowan earned selection on the strength of his 109 for a Chairman's XI against India this week along with three first-class centuries this season.
While the Australian team is in transition, India's top five batsmen -- Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman -- boast a combined tally of 610 Tests.
In the first of four Tests for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy it is India's experience against Australia's untried potential.
Wicketkeeper Haddin, who will be an important member of the Australian batting lineup at number seven, said it was time for the home team to stand up and meet the Indian challenge head on.
"You talk about our inexperienced top three, I think we've got a very in-form top three," Haddin told reporters on Sunday.
"And if we're going to do any good in this series it's going to be from one to seven with the bat. We've all got to perform.
"We've got to make sure we've got our game heads on and ready to go."
Coach Mickey Arthur arranged a batting camp this week and Haddin said the three-day get-together was to clear the batsmen's minds.
"Freeing your head, having no other thoughts in your head but just playing cricket," Haddin said.
"You'll see over the next five days whether it has all paid off."
Australia are also conceding huge amounts of big-match experience with the ball to India, with two of the four frontline bowlers, James Pattinson and offspinner Nathan Lyon, in their first year of Test cricket.
"We've picked an 11 that we think is confident to rip through this Indian side," Haddin said.
"They've got some great players and I know especially our bowlers are looking forward to having a crack at them."
Pattinson, just 21, has taken 14 wickets in his two Tests against New Zealand, while Lyon has 22 wickets from his seven Tests at 24.59.
Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman have indicated they will go after Lyon to dent his confidence.
"We're just hoping that we score some runs off him, try to put pressure on him," India skipper MS Dhoni said.
"The kind of experience we have got, that will really help us in executing our plans."
Australian captain Michael Clarke said Lyon will have to be managed carefully during the series, but he regards him as a potential weapon against a team who are traditionally adept at playing spin bowling.
"We've got to make sure we bowl Nathan at the right times, set the right fields to give him a little bit of protection and then attack when it's time to attack," Clarke said.
Tendulkar could score his 100th century in Tests and one-day internationals during the four-Test series.
He has been anchored on 99 hundreds since March and Dhoni said Tendulkar was putting aside the speculation and pressure linked to his impending achievement.
"He's someone who keeps it really simple," Dhoni said. "He will get it at some point in time, whether it's this series or the next series.
"I don't think there's any added pressure on him.
"A hundred hundreds in international cricket, it's something really big. The whole of cricket, all over the world, people will really cherish the moment when he gets his hundredth done." (AFP)
