Now Australia are chasing to build a world record and India are chasing draw the series. And this game or series has become still a battle of dignity for India. It is expecting that Chris Rogers will introduce his test carrier in the home ground and Anil Kumble will achieve 600 wickets. Till now he has taken 599 wickets.
Australia hasn’t lost any test match in this ground in last ten years and they have won 8 tests out of 10 tests (the other two tests ended in draws). The pitch of Perth is a bouncy pitch. So, batsmen will get help from hare.
Although Sehwag was not continuous during last one year yet he has set to play the 3rd test because got some confidence of his hundred in Canberra. Ricky ponting said, “He is a dangerous cricketer. We have played against him and know what his strength and weaknesses are; also we know the plan how to keep under wrap.”
On the host side Michael Clarke has done better with the ball than bat and Adam Gilchrist performed a 57-ball hundred on this ground last year. So, they may be dangerous for India.
India: (likely) 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Wasim Jaffer, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 Sourav Ganguly, 6 VVS Laxman, 7 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), 8 Irfan Pathan, 9 Anil Kumble (capt), 10 RP Singh, 11 Ishant Sharma.
