Australia might have been outwitted in the opening Test but former skipper Ricky Ponting believes the hosts will hold an edge over India in the second Test at the Perth beginning Friday.
India defeated Australia by 31 runs in the first match to take a 1-0 lead in the four-Test series for the first time in 70 years.
Ponting believes the nature of the new-look Perth pitch will suit the Australians.
"I think Perth will definitely suit our guys a lot more than the Indian players, but the Aussies need to bounce back pretty quickly," Ponting told told cricket.com.au.
Ponting said Australia need to find out their shortcomings quickly and learn from them after putting a poor show in the first Test.
"They played pretty poorly this week and got within 30 runs. And that's not saying India played at their absolute best either, but they're absolutely capable," he said.
"There's some positives to take from it but they've also got to take a good hard look at what they've done through this game and make sure they do it a lot better."
"Little things like that would come into their minds. If I was them, I'd be tempted to keep it the same way."
