Aussie Coach Justin Langer has confirmed Australia Playing 11 for the 2nd Test. He said they will be unchanged in the Boxing Day Test against India. Langer has it would be “very courageous” to change anything after a perfect result in the first test of the four-match series.
“I’d be a pretty courageous man to change the XI for this Test match after the last one,” Langer said. “At this stage, unless something happens over the next few days – and things can happen in the world we live in – we’ll go in with the same XI, I’d say,” he added.

After one of the worst displays in red-ball cricket, India will make some changes to the XI. Australia beat India by eight wickets in just over two days in the first match. India were bowled out for 36 in 2nd innings, to register their lowest test score.
