PERTH: Australia’s decision to play a four-man pace attack and send India into bat was vindicated when the tourists were bowled out for 161 shortly after tea on the first day of the third test on Friday.
Pacemen Ben Hilfenhaus, Peter Siddle, Ryan Harris and Mitchell Starc shared the 10 wickets between them on a lively surface at the WACA but India’s vaunted batsmen will again rue some poor shots.
Already 2-0 down in the four-match series after heavy defeats in Melbourne and Sydney, India needed a much better showing to get themselves back into the series.
Australia skipper Michael Clarke won the toss and chose to bowl on a sunny and humid morning, having gambled on dispensing with the services of spinner Nathan Lyon.
