So using your powers of foresight, tell us who will win the next Test or will it be a draw?
 
India effectively won a test without Kohli's contribution. Now Kohli will not fail 2 tests in a row, hence I don't see India losing when Kohli performs.
 
I hope Shaw comes back. India is two good batsmen away from blanking Australia this series.
 
Conditions would be more favourable in Perth for Australia so its advantage to them there if their batsmen can put up a decent score.

Who would have thought Australian batting lineup will have just couple of players having an avg of 40+ that also early 40s (41,42) let alone 50.

At the same time India will have the momentum.
 
Hope India loses so that the neighbours can cease to live through the nightmare that is being a PCT fan right now. Sales figures of Burnol may take a hit though.

Ahh, you win some lose some. Burnol guys have it coming.
 
One would have to go with Australia to make it 1-1 after Perth ... but if Indian Pacers keep it tight then who knows ..
 
Think India have a huge mental hold on the hosts now.
 
Need the pacers to be fit and Bhuvi should come in for Rohit.

Hoping it's a draw..Aus will.come hard .. Hopefully we don't collapse

Why would you want an extra bowler on an already bowler friendly pitch?
I think India will field almost the same team, depending on if Shaw is fit he'll come in for Vijay.
 
If these Australians can beat these Indians anywhere, it will be at Perth.

Coz Bhuvi can bat better than Rohit and having a swing bowler at Perth might help..

He can't, plus Perth is known for bounce not swing. On a bowling wicket, if 4 bowlers can't do the job, very unlikely the 5th one will. We need to strengthen our batting so we can withstand their attack for a longer duration; as it is, our tailenders are the biggest bunnies in Test cricket.

You are banking Rohit to play pace /swing better than Bhuvi .. hopefully I can come back to you on this post ,postmatch.
 
Perth suits Australia and their bowling attack more with their extra height (all pacers 6"4 - 6"6 range) however this Indian bowling attack in the longer format is the best they've ever had - a completely different beast to the yesterday eras.

India won on a standard Perth wicket back in 03 because in these conditions if you bowl well, it's all about who can bat better and that is why India will beat Australia in Perth again because they will out bat the Aussies with a couple of clutch knocks.
 
Aus bowlers are more suited for Perth. Aus just need to put some runs and they will win.
 
Kohli has lost many tosses recently. So now it is time for him to win one more.
Kohli will win toss, bat first and win the game. As simple as that.

I'm not a big fan of Rohit Sharma in swinging conditions (read England), but here at Perth it will be more bounce than swing and I am betting on Rohit Sharma to come good. He's good on wickets where the ball comes on bat nicely, so slower wickets don't suit him as well as faster ones.

Makes sense to me. If there is any Australian wicket you want Rohit to bat on, this is it.
 
2-0 india, Aussies feebile batting will be exposed again.
 
Is there an easy way to get a list Sheffield Shield games played at the new Perth stadium this year? would be interesting to see how the games played out. Of course you could have pitches with different characters on the same ground but would be instructive nevertheless.
 
If what we hear about the pitch is true, it definitely won’t be a draw. A lot depends on how Kohli performs. If he does well, India will win.

Haven't seen you around for a while.

Wondering if Kohli would be tempted to play Rohit here. I dont see Kohli going with a 5th bowler/AR in the absence of Pandya. So, its 3 pacers + Ashwin. The only question would be between Rohit and Vihari.

Yeah bro been busy.

Yes with 1-0, I don’t think Kohli would experiment with 5 bowlers. If it’s a true pitch and the ball comes on nicely, why not play Rohit? But don’t you think he should bat a bit higher up the order? Asking him to bat when the ball is soft and Lyon dominating may not be such a wise idea.

Yes 1977/78. India lost 3-2, after going into the the 5th Test 2-2. That was a very weak Australian team though due to Packer series.

I agree, it will be better for Rohit to come out to bat sooner, may be right after Kohli. Rohit tends to play across to spinners, so he's more likely to top edge a slog with the ball coming in - similar to how he got out in Adelaide - but with quicks operating he should be in his zone hopefully.
 
Australia is winning this one. Unless India come up with a surprise and bold plan. For me if India wins it will be because of Rohit Sharma’s heroics.
 
Bring it on. Make or break test for this Indian side. A win at Perth, albeit against a weakened Aussie team, will lift this team to the next level. 60-40 in our favour.

I hope the pitch lives upto the hype. Needs to have lots of seam, swing along with pace and old WACA type bounce to make it even better.
 
India are favorites to win this. This modern day Indian team is like Aussies of the past.

If Kohli strikes, it's game over for the Baggy Green.

Yes and sometimes even when he tries to play along the line he misses it completely.
 
Aus will bounce back in style on this pitch as it suits them completely. Ishant though should be handful on this pitch.
 
60-40 in favor of Australia. India needs Kohli to step up big time.
 
This one I back AUS to win. If they don't win at WACA (heard new one is similar to last one), then it's more likely that they'll lose the series 0-4 or 0-3.

It ain't WACA without Freemantle Doctor, no matter how much you try and reproduce the condtions. Moreover, the last one was a patta in recent times. If this is anything like pre-96 WACA then, should be a great spectacle, coz whoever bats last, would have to contend gigantic cracks on the pitch.

Im hoping it pitch behaves well even though it is a drop in
 
Australia heading for another home defeat am afraid!
 
Not long to go now.... so who will be brave enough and give Australia a chance to level the series?
 
Indian pace attack too good and too fast for the mediocre Australian batsmen to handle.

2-0 to IND.
 
Aussies will win this and take the momentum to the other tests as well.

3-1 Australia.
 
Australia trying their best to win this....

India got the momentum. They shouldn't let this golden opportunity to situate Thema on 2-0.

India's game to lose :kohli
 
Will be a close content between the 2 pace attacks, Australia probably will win given that they are playing in familiar conditions and are used to pace and bounce.
 
India is done with their quota of 1 test win.
 
Depends on who wins the toss. Also both teams are collapse prone. Whichever team that survives first innings collapse will have an edge. As a sum (considering top, middle,lower order) both line ups are equal. In bowling department taller bowlers will have slight advantage on a bouncy strip. Even from good length they can extract lot of bounce. Gullies, shortlegs will be in business. Let us see if the pitch lives upto its hype. They sound like this is going to be an unplayable WACA from the old era.
 
The first test was so close, Australia almost won it. India didn't win it authoritatively enough for me to believe they are 100% guaranteed to win the second test.

I believe Australia can level the series. It's possible.
 
I don't know whether India will win or not, but I am sure that it will not keep its pacers match fit for next test considering their work load in this match.
 
India to still win series despite a possible hiccup here.
 
Australia will win. I thought they would if they got the runs. Their bowlers would have been in the game. Kohli and Pujara can't always save India. Needed the openers to kick on but they failed. Lower order is extremely weak for India as well.
 
One wicket in the first hour and it should be over by lunch.
Pant should just go for broke
 
India will sneak a one-wicket win, or the game will be wrapped up in less than 30 overs.
 
India is gonna win this one too. Pant's wicket would be crucial
 
Well the poll results were accurate as Australia thrash India to win the second Test by 146 runs. Will this be the turnaround for the hosts?

Lets be honest, barring Kohli which batsman do Indian fans trust to score runs? How can this team win games with a one man batting squad. This is just the Tendulkar scenario all over again albeit with a much better pace bowling attack.
