The MCG wicket - a nasty surprise?

It is normal for the Indian team to name its final eleven on the day of the match. The Australians try to derive an psychological advantage by announcing their eleven a day before.

This Test is one of the few exceptions, they are yet to finalise their eleven.

"Captain Ricky Ponting said Australia wanted
more time to assess the MCG wicket before deciding on the final
side".

It is surprising to see the Australians unable to make up their minds about one of their own grounds. Does it mean the pitch would behave unnaturally?

The Indians should heed the Australians caution and be more mindful in their pitch assessment.

Beware, the pitch could spring a nasty surprise.
