[Nikhil Shirvankar]

I Hope Virat Utilizes the seam attack in its full potential and doesn't drag Ashwin at one end like today.
Nevertheless, India 1-0, a test series that India should look to win from here.

to be Honest, Aus has gain lot from this Test than India, You can expect tough fight by them from Perth on Pacy Wicket, Indian Pacers Apart from Bumrah, Ishant & Shami ddnt looked that threatening in this test.

want 2 changes in next match
1) Shaw or Vihari in place of Vijay
2) Umesh in place of Ashwin ( Spinners wont get any help at Perth)

I'd like to have Bhuvi rather. He's different kind of bowler and also can contribute with bat.

Ishant & Shami was not as consistent in this Test, but they should be consistent at Perth since pacers gets majority of wickets there

I'd like to have Bhuvi rather. He's different kind of bowler and also can contribute with bat.

Only When there is Swing, bhuvi is effective, Umesh has pace and swing both hence can be more effective
