THE STARS
Shane Warne: The biggest plus for Australia going into the series, though he may not relish the conditions
WHAT CAN HE DO
8226; The wicket has no or little bounce and his style of bowling flourishes with bounce
8226; The turn is very slow and it would provide the Laxmans and Dravids just the right amount of time to dance down the track and slap a boundary through the covers or just turn the wrists through the leg-side
8226; His comeback form is very encouraging and that is what could turn the tide for the champion on Indian soil
THE SUPPORT
Simon Katich, DarRen Lehmann and Michael Clarke
WHAT CAN THEY DO
8226; Lehmann and Clarke are similar restrictive bowlers who would just hold a end up to cover for tired fingers. They can hardly be counted to break the batting
8226; Katich is a different property altogether. He is a part-time chinaman bowler who will get the ball into the Indian right-handers and that would add variety
