Johsnon and Lee are very slow fast bowlers, and Watson takes even longer to bowl each ball, even though he has a shorter run-up and bowls slower.

The Indians are also master time wasters, which cuts into over rates moreso than the pace bowlers. I noticed a few times when Ponting changes the spinners that it would take more than a minute for him to reset the field, thats too long, and explains why he needs to use part time spinners.

Australia could get 370 in a day, they have done it before, the wicket may be getting friendlier to spin, but it's still mainly a batsman's wicket. We need Hayden to score big, and Ponting to play a good innings too, Katich and Hussey are still in great form, but they both have abysmal run rates. If the Top 4 go for less than 200 we won't win Clarke and the tail won't hold out.

So India to bowl spin from the get go, and bowl a foot outside offstump to an 8-1 field again? Even if they only did it to Katich, it would be smart, to get under his skin.
