#IndiaInAustralia: Glenn McGrath feels India got fooled by Perth deck

The talks of a lively and fast pitch did the rounds prior to this Test.

And this was for the second time under Kohli's captaincy that India fielded no specialist spinner in a match.

With R Ashwin ruled out of this Test due to injury, it was expected that all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja would replace him.

But, Kohli handed a call-up to pacer Umesh Yadav.

Australia on the other hand went ahead with their chief spinner Nathan Lyon.

Lyon picked eight wickets in the first Test and the hosts seemed settled with his presence in the side.

In the press conference on Thursday, majority of the time was spent talking about the pitch.

And Kohli, who stated that he was excited, went on with the flow.

Australia got off to a terrific start on Day 1 of the second Test with their opening pair adding 112 runs for the first wicket.

The pitch wasn't as vicious as expected.

At tea, Australia rallied on to 145/3, with part-time spinner Hanuma Vihari claiming a wicket as well.

McGrath believes India were fooled by the hype created,.

McGrath told Channel Seven, "They (India) have got caught up in the hype and felt this pitch was going to do everything, bounce, pace, carry, seam."

Besides McGrath, former England captain Michael Vaughan too expressed his disappointment with the team selected by Kohli.

Vaughan felt that Kohli will rue his decision as the Test match progresses.
