Yesterday I guessed as to how Michael Clarke’s press conference would go, apparently I was closer than I thought.
“I certainly don’t think we have a weakness against spin but we haven’t been performing as well as we would have liked against them,”
Michael Clarke
Being in the Australian cricket side is like being in a cocoon, its all gooey, and thoughts of the outside world never permeate it.
I just cannot believe that Tim Nielsen, Michael Clarke, or the dude who dries the players after they come out of the shower really believe Australia can play spin.
Mishra, Harbhajan, Afridi, Sehwag, Vettori, Botha, Harris, Van Der Merwe, and Duminy have all taken Australia down within the last 6 months.
This is not a list of the greatest spinners of modern times, Mushtaq Ahmed is not on it.
That is only 6 months worth of failures.
I certainly do think Australia has a weakness against spin, and while I don’t play for Australia, I do tend to watch them alot.
And they tend to go out to spinners.
Alot.
You can find Jarrod at cricket with balls where he has a charity game for this years ashes.
