It is almost  a certain that the on going Perth test is  going to be lost, if nothing unusual happens.And by this time  some conclusions could be reached based on the performances. Openers can't be relied upon to at least see of the new ball and put a descent partnership of 50 runs.Tail enders can't put

on the board even 10 runs even on the occasions the team needs them the most.Only 3 batsmen are there who can be relied upon at the least in minimum levels, namely Kohli,Pujara & Rahane.This being the case what needs to be the eleven.

 

My eleven

Pujara  // NEEDS TO OPEN , any way he is coming in the first 5 overs at the crease for  sure

Shaw 

Rahane

Kohli

Pant

Vihari

Jadeja

Ashwin

Kuldeep

Bhuvi

Bumrah

 

would go with 5 bowlers of  which  4 can bat. Including Vihari there are 6 bowling  options .So if any one proves  a bit ineffective , there are other options to be relied upon.Any way spray gun Umesh is of no worth & it is a  given that  at least 1 seamer ends up being  far effective from the others  in cases of '4 seamer attacks'. That being the case 'strengthening  batting with  more reliable openers and bowlers who can bat far better'

is a far better option. Thoughts

4 spinners!! That's too much even for SC conditions.

Hardik once fit can replace one of them..3 spinners n 3 Pacers then

Vihari is a specialist batsman who can bowl as per the needs , so only 3 spinners are there. And keep in mind , the effectiveness of this strategy lies in the fact that  if any one of them's bowling suits the pitch , that  bowler can be bowled as much as per required.AUS is a team who traditionally plays seam more well than spinners. So that 'unfamiliarity'  element can always become some sort of  'trouble in general' for their batsmen, especially a china man like Kuldeep.  And Ashwin in general is such a threat to left handers in general. So that means, if 'Ashwin  & Kuldeep' do the most damage , other bowlers too can feed off them  and compliment them well.And batting too can be improved a lot.

Ohh... yes .. then it would be Rahane/Ashwin in place of  Vijay/Rahul to provide the inevitable situation of 10/2. I simply don't understand why you are defending Pujara at any cost. Isn't it  the team that needs to be given the utmost priority?? Rahane opening,  means a disastrous start guaranteed because he does not possess the technique to  withstand the new ball. One batsman

was there in Vijay , but he unfortunately regressed a lot for the disappointment of all.Now the best option remaining is Pujara.
