The bowler-friendly pitch threatens life for the team first make it difficult batting in Hobart and Clarke said he may be forced to go against his natural instincts and Bowl should the flip to go his way.
Australia lead the two-test series after a thumping nine wicket has named win at the Gabba in Brisbane on the weekend and Clarke of an unchanged eleven.
Clarke, just throw the once in his seven tests as captain has won, said, that overhead costs help conditions in the morning of the game it would decide whether you bat or bowl.
"I will wait and see tomorrow." I think that overhead conditions will play a role. For me it's more about look as below to see what the weather as "he said."
"If the wicket not much changes from what I see and it is still a bit sticky and overhead exists conditions, is a great opportunity that I will Bowl in first."
"But I've said a few times in the past and gone out there and batted."
"I think the two things that I really hard to find are bowling first if I the draw profits and not picking a spinner."
Clarke was a bowler-friendly Strip, surprised.
"I think, be one day will be very hard for the batters, especially if it is cloudy and then it is in a pretty good wicket,", he said, adding, that Lyon later still play an important role could the spinner Nathan in the game.
Clarke named an unchanged team and said that he had to get confidence in his four frontline bowlers to the gates.
The skipper said that good bowling with the new ball would be rewarded.
"It is with a bit seam and swing through the whole game, grass on it to be so when you go really well with the new ball bowling you will have some impact," he said.

Almost a year ago he was booed by local fans in a one-day international win against England as he came out to bat at the same Brisbane ground.
But this time the Australian skipper was given a rapturous send-off as he left the field following his charmed knock of 139.
"It's always nice that your home fans support you. That's nice, yeah," Clarke laughed after Saturday's third day stumps.
"It's probably a little bit of an expectation. You would hope that you get support.
"For me, it's about scoring runs and helping this team win games of cricket. Hopefully, I can continue to earn the public's respect."
Although Clarke casts a genial and polite image, he polarises opinion among the country's cricket followers, with some people disapproving of his perceived glamorous lifestyle.
On the day Clarke took over as Test captain from Ricky Ponting last January, a newspaper poll showed only eight percent of respondents favoured the appointment.
The Kiwis made it easier for Clarke on his way to his 17th Test century.
Wicketkeeper Reece Young and Jesse Ryder spilled catches, both off the luckless paceman Doug Bracewell.
And Clarke was also bowled off an inside edge late Friday only to get a reprieve when Bracewell was found to have overstepped for a no-ball.
He made the Black Caps pay dearly in a 108-run sixth wicket stand with Brad Haddin for Australia to take control of the match.
Clarke was out on the fourth ball after tea, caught at deep backward square by Tim Southee off Chris Martin, ending his 368-minute stay which included 19 fours and a six.
It was Clarke's fourth Test hundred against the Kiwis and second in his last five Test innings.
"Little bit of luck, which obviously goes a long way. Most importantly, a really good day from us from the team," he said.
"Once I got that life on 20-odd, it was important for me to go on and make a big score for the team.
"It's been nice to make a few runs. I've needed them after the summer I had last year (against England), so since taking over the captaincy I've got a couple of hundreds, which is nice."
