Pace India out: Gilly

The record-chasing Australians will blitz the Indians with pace when the third Test gets underway at the WACA here on Wednesday, according to wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist.
WACA curator Cameron Sutherland said here Monday he expected the pitch to offer plenty of assistance for fast bowlers and Gilchrist vowed to take full advantage.
For many years the Perth wicket was renowned for being the quickest in world cricket.
That reputation has suffered in recent times but Sutherland's diligent work over the past two years has seen the WACA wicket regain much of its old zest.
The Australians' pace battery of Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson and Shaun Tait showed the new life in the pitch when they terrorised New Zealand's top order in a Twenty20 international here last month.
The likely pitch conditions mean the home side are considering abandoning tradition and playing four pace bowlers as they aim for an unprecedented 17th straight Test win.
India, looking to recover from a 2-0 series deficit, last played an international match in Perth in 2004, when they suffered at the hands of an on-song Lee in a one-day game.
Gilchrist believes the pace and bounce of the WACA make it unique and said here Monday the Australians hoped to revive Indian memories of that match.
"The pace and extra bounce can shock you a little bit," he said. "It died down a little bit for a few years, but it is back at its usual pacy, bouncy characteristics.
"A number of these (Indian) players played a one-day international here a few years ago and that had plenty of fire and bounce in it.
"I guess they will have experienced it in some manner and we'll be hoping to open up any little scars or wounds they have from that day because we bowled them out pretty comprehensively."
Tait is in line for a recall to play his third Test alongside fellow quicks Lee, Johnson and Stuart Clark, especially after his fiery bowling against New Zealand in the Twenty20 match.
Gilchrist said Tait's bowling in that game was as quick as anything he had witnessed.
"Brett (Lee) over the years has bowled some really quick spells, but I think that was right up there with the fastest I have seen," he said.
Incoming Indian coach Gary Kirsten, in Perth to work with the team ahead of his official start in March, said the WACA would reward batsmen once they got used to the pace and bounce.
India are weighing up playing an extra seamer, at the probable expense of controversial spinner Harbhajan Singh, as well as considering recalling Virender Sehwag and Dinesh Karthik to bolster their batting.
