With a lead of 326 in the second innings of the MCG Test going into the final day, Australia find themselves in a dominating position. The question now is whether and when they should declare to set India a tempting target while giving the bowlers enough time to pick 10 wickets. After the fourth day’s play David Warner was of the opinion that Australia need a few more runs before thinking about the declaration. “I have no idea about the declaration but we obviously need a few more runs on the board than what we have,” he said. “Shaun Marsh is batting fantastically and Harris struck form in the last innings. We will get a few more tomorrow and then assess the target.” Warner’s opinion was influenced by the aggressive intent with which the Indian batsmen went after the 364-run target in the first Test in Adelaide. He also said the big hundreds scored by Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane in the first innings of this Test makes them wary of the Indian batting strength. “We saw at the Adelaide how well they fought. Luckily we got a breakthrough, otherwise it could have been a different story and they would have been one-nil up,” he said. “We know their batting lineup and the positive brand of cricket they are playing now. The way Rahane and Kohli scored those big hundreds is at the back of our minds. Warner said Australia’s best chance of picking up 10 Indian wickets would be reverse swing. “It’s still a very good batting wicket. The ball is coming on nicely and there is no sideways movement with the new ball and the pacers will have to depend on the zip initially. “As the ball gets older and softer there is a bit of reverse swing. That is going to be the key for us when we come on to bowl. “We saw towards the end of the day today that if you bowl in the right areas and get the reverse swing, the nicks will go through. There have been a lot of caught behinds in this Test and we know what lengths we have to bowl.” Warner said that of the Indian bowlers Ishant Sharma managed the conditions best. He said Ishant has been India’s best bowler in the series so far. “I felt that Ishant was the best of their bowlers with Ashwin drying up one end as well. Ishant got the ball in the right areas; especially to the left-handers he got the ball to go across us. With the ball he reverse swung it and managed to move it both ways. I think he has played a big role in all three Tests and he has been their best so far.”
