Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 11.30 AEDT (00.30 GMT)
Good morning from Adelaide, where the news is that Australia have
replaced Nathan Bracken with Brad Williams in the twelve
We await details of India's XI
Trevor Hohns said: “We thought long and hard about the make-up of
this side and it was certainly a difficult decision to leave
Nathan Bracken out, after his promising Test debut in Brisbane.
On that occasion we felt Nathan was the right man to play in
Brisbane, with his ability to swing the ball in the humid and
overcast conditions.
However Adelaide represents a new environment with a flat wicket
that should suit Brad Williams' style of bowling
He should give us some extra fire power
Despite a disappointing day in Brisbane, we felt Andrew Bichel, who
has been an integral part of the side over the past eighteen
months deserved his chance.
He is a strong competitor and importantly his most recent match for
Queensland at the Adelaide Oval saw him take 10 wickets
His batting also provides us with some added depth," he said
