Chris Rogers make to Test debut
January 15, 2008 - 2:26PM
Chris Rogers will make his Test debut on his home ground on Wednesday after Matthew Hayden was ruled out with injury for the third Test against India at the WACA Ground.
Fast bowler Shaun Tait will also come into the side, as Australia opted for an all-pace attack for the first time since 1992.
Captain Ricky Ponting confirmed Hayden had not sufficiently overcome soreness in his right hamstring and that he was too great a risk to take into the match, where Australia chase a record 17th successive win.
Spinner Brad Hogg was eligible to play after India dropped their abusive language complaint against him on Monday night, but he will be 12th man.
