    "editor1": "<p><strong>Perth (Australia), Dec 13 (CRICKETNMORE):<\/strong> The Indian men&#39;s cricket team trained at the WACA Stadium here on Thursday, a day ahead of their second Test against Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over the years, Perth has caused nightmares to visiting teams as its fast and bouncy pitch adds an extra sting to the Australian side, which has always boasted of a formidable pace attack, reports Efe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While the home team has been counting on the pace and bounce on the Perth Stadium pitch to help them level the series 1-1, India too are relishing the prospect of their in-form fast bowling unit ripping through a considerably inexperienced Australian batting line-up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I was pretty happy to see the pitch the way it is,&quot; said Indian captain Virat Kohli said at a press conference, referring to the grassy pitch that aids pace and movement for bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We hope that no more grass is taken off this pitch. We certainly get more excited than nervous looking at lively pitches now because we understand that we do have a bowling attack which can bowl the opposition out,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A day earlier, India&#39;s bowling coach Bharat Arun had expressed full confidence in his bowlers at a press conference and claimed they were among the country&#39;s best ever.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a match in which both Australia and India are expected to start with a strong four-man pace attack, the quality of batting might be the decisive factor in the outcome of the test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India beat Australia by 31 runs on Monday to snatch a 1-0 lead in the four-test series, and a win at Perth will see them retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The visitors will also play three one-day games in their nearly two-month long tour of Australia.<\/p>\r\n",
