But all in all the Indian players will have to come up with better display. There were many misfields, while the bowlers leaked runs in the middle overs to help Australia fight back after early blows. Moreover the Indian think tank will have to find a way to get rid of Steven Smith, who has been in phenomenal form against India.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni would be expectiing a much-improved show from his bowlers. The WACA wicket was slower than expected, but the Gabba pitch is not expected to be similar which provides Dhoni enough reasons to contemplate going in with four pacers.
