India captain Saurav Ganguly made 144 of his side's 409 as the tourists outscored Australia by 86 runs in the first innings of the drawn first Test in Brisbane. India reached 73 for two in their second innings after they were set 199 to win.

Australia plucked fiery fast bowler Brad Williams from an interstate match in Perth on Monday and flew him to Adelaide to join the squad.

Left-arm seamer Nathan Bracken, who took three wickets on his debut, and Queenslander Andy Bichel, who lacked penetration and returned match figures of 1-162, are competing with Williams for the two vacant pace bowling roles alongside Jason Gillespie.

"Brad gives us different things -- pace, bounce, a bit more aggression," Waugh said.

"If you've got that strike power like Brett Lee or Brad Williams you'd probably bowl a little bit more shorter.

"The attack we had (in Brisbane) wasn't suited to bowling a lot of short stuff.

"We had swing bowlers, guys who bowl in the corridor. There's no point in bowling a lot of short deliveries if it's not the style you've got.

"But we didn't execute our plans that well. We'll revise those and do something different this Test match."

Williams, 29, who took four wickets on his debut against Zimbabwe two months ago, said he loved bowling in Adelaide.

"I have got a few five-wicket hauls there. It's one of my favourite grounds to bowl on so hopefully I will get a chance," the Western Australian said.

"I have tended to get reverse swing there in the past."
