Stuart MacGill will miss Australia's second Test against Zimbabwe with a calf injury. It is the latest in a line of injuries for the Australians, who have been forced to make three changes to the previous side which walloped Zimbabwe by an innings and 175 runs in Perth.
MacGill aggravated his calf while bowling in the first Test but had hoped to be fit in time for the Test at Sydney, starting on Friday (October 17). However, he failed to pass a fitness Test and Brad Hogg steps in to take his place.
Meanwhile, Brad Williams makes his debut in place of the injured Jason Gillespie, while Simon Katich, set to play only his second Test after a two-year gap, replaces Darren Lehmann.
