A worn-out Mitchell Johnson, who was rested from the last game, is no certainty to return. A handful of players are nursing sore bodies and Ponting indicated the replacements for Henriques and Siddle, the allrounder Andrew McDonald and fast bowler Burt Cockley, could do well given the conditions. "Macca [McDonald] has been over here with the Champions League and did a really good job for Victoria," he said. "His style of bowling on this sort of wicket would be very good, stump to stump and taking pace off the ball all the time, that's what you need on the slower, lower types of wickets."
Clint McKay performed creditably on debut, snaring three wickets including the decisive one of Tendulkar for 175 with a crafty slow bouncer. One bad game for Hauritz won't put pressure on Australia to blood the rookie spinner Jon Holland.
Australia (probable): 1 Shane Watson, 2 Shaun Marsh, 3 Ricky Ponting (capt.), 4 Michael Hussey, 5 Cameron White, 6 Adam Voges, 7 Graham Manou (wk), 8 Andrew McDonald/Mitchell Johnson, 9 Nathan Hauritz, 10 Clint McKay, 11 Doug Bollinger.
