Peter Siddle, a 23-year-old fast bowler from Victoria, will make his test debut. "Stuart Clark bowled about 30 balls, (but) he still has elbow pain," team spokesman Philip Pope told reporters on Thursday. "He has been ruled out of this test and Siddle will make his debut on Friday."

The first test of the four-match series ended in a draw.
