Clarke and the selectors chose to go away out Nathan Lyon, his place taken by the left-armer Mitchell Starc, who has shown inspiring control, speed and swing in recent club and Twenty20 appearances.
India built-in the seam and swing of Vinay Kumar at the expenditure of R Ashwin, on a pitch that has retain a distinctly green hue all through its training.
