India must play either Aswin or Jadeja since they need one all rounder which is missing from the Perth team. This is one of the reason India lost the match

So, Indian cricket with the current team (so Called best overseas team by Ravi Shastri) cannot chase down 287 runs with one and a half days remaining !!!! Kick out the openers especially Rahul -- he is out of cricket .... let him be a permanent 12th man.
its a shame that india does not have talented openers in test cricket. the existing combo do not have right temperament to stand even 30 overs. Test cricket is all about occupying crease for long and build tall scores. t20 cricket has eaten cricket. into test
are consistently inconsistent. One of the opener or both the openers should be replaced. Secondly, India's strength lies in spin, no matter what India should play at least one specialist spinner in Ashwin or Jadeja or both. They will not only strengthen the bowling but also batting. Australians are know to play mental games, they fed into Indian's mind that the pitch is going to be fast, Indian's fell into their trap and as a result lost the game. Cricket is as much a mental game as it is a physical one. The mental game starts well before a single ball is bowled in the match. It is like a chess game where each move is to be taken carefully. I believe that more than the bowlers or batsmen, it is the coach Ravi Sastry who failed because of his wrong moves. The match was lost by India well before it started when they selected four pace bowlers and sidelined Ashwin and Jadeja.
Virat & Team You can still pull up the remaining two without any hassle. Include Kuldeep or Jaddu if Ashwin is not fit. All the very best and beat them in their own backyard.
