"He's got a great record in Australia, he loves the conditions. I think he's a better player of pace than spin. He's had a lean trot though, by his standards, and his average has dropped a lot,' Waugh told Fox Cricket.

"Maybe Perth's a good starting place for him, because he made that brilliant hundred on a very, very tricky pitch [in 2018]. "He'll be under less pressure being in Australia than India. It's so encompassing, playing in India on your home soil. It'll be a fresh start for him, this series," Waugh
added.
