Seam Bowling:
Australia
Pace bowling was one of the keys to Australia's 4-0 humbling of India three years ago and chief selector Rod Marsh boasted there were 10 quicks of sufficient quality to feature in the series.
ICC Cricketer of the Year Johnson, Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle should get the chance to reprise their successful team effort against England and South Africa.
Uncapped Josh Hazlewood is in the squad for the Adelaide test and first cab on the rank, with left-armer Mitchell Starc, Nathan Coulter-Nile and even Pat Cummins also in the mix if Australia goes for a rotation policy.
India
One can say seam bowling is the strength of India on this tour with Varun Aaron's good showing giving Indian captain more options in case he wishes to use more than three seamers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is very impressive. He has taken 19 wickets in five match abroad and Mohammed Shami has scalped 21 wickets in seven matches. They have some experience and have utilized the conditions well home away. Umesh Yadav raw pace can match Mitchell Johnson's hostility. Never to forget Ishant Sharma who ratlled Ricky Ponting but It all depends on how he bowls because when he is bad, he is very,very bad.
