Will check if Warnes available for 2nd Test: Clarke

Clarke was insistent that it was less about his squad selection and more to do with his side8217;s batting that led to Australia8217;s eventual downfall in the first Test. This,he said,will also hold true for the next Test in Hyderabad if they don8217;t set things right.

It8217;s not just about selection. It8217;s about how you perform. I don8217;t think we bowled well enough in our first innings and we certainly didn8217;t bat well enough in our second innings.

It made sense,considering when Clarke and debutant Moises Henriques applied themselves,the Indian spinners seemed less than potent. Considering that Henriques is a fast bowling all-rounder,Clarke conceded that if they were to play one less fast bowler for Hyderabad,then Henriques would more than make up for the missing pacer8217;s spot.

If we don8217;t have a third fast bowler,Moises can certainly don that role, he said. But when asked if Australia needed to fly more spinners in,he replied: Bring more spinners to India? Bring the whole country in soon! Warney8217;s is in town. We8217;ll see,if he8217;s available!
