Adelaide: Former Australian pacer Merv Hughes wants the first India-Australia Test to start with a bouncer as he feels Phillip Hughes' tragic death should not make the bowlers wary of using the delivery.

The Hughes, 25, dies after being by a bouncer hit at the back of his skull last week. Hughes said the youngster's death was an accident which should never have happened but the bowlers should not be so affected that they discard the bouncer altogether.
