Mohali: After the spin flop in Bangalore, the Indian think-dank finds itself in the usual Mohali quandary. Does it make sense to stick with two spinners on a track that is reputed to be most suited for pacers and seamers? Or is it imperative to pick at least three of the latter?
The prolonged monsoon this year, including a heavy morning downpour, may have an impact on the overall nature of the pitch. But as per Daljit Sing, PCA curator and chairman of BCCI's Pitches and Ground Committee, the wicket will still be seamer-friendly.
"Seamers will prove handy, as the ball will move in the morning sessions. We have tried to prepare a true track so it means finger spinners won't have an easy run here", he said.
Stuart Clark skip practice: A big questions mark was hanging over the participation of Australian medium-pacer Stuart Clark in the Mohali Test after he skipped practice on Wednesday owing to an elbow injury. Clark was seem nursing his inflamed elbow joint even as his fast bowling mates - Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson and newcomers Peter Siddle and Doung Bollinger - tolled hard at the nets at the PCA Stadium on Wednesday.
As per information, Australian physio Alex Kountouries will assess Clark's injury on Thursday to find whether he will be able to take the field on Friday. If he falls to clear the fitness Test, either Siddle or Bollinger will make their Test doubt.
