No fit spinner, fast / seamers don't seem to be able to handle the volume (Broad excepted). Doesn't mean they won't still win, but it makes life a lot harder when you get someone like Khawaja digging in well.

SPR Jun 2023 4:32pm, 20 Jun 2023 40,969 posts	0 SPR TBF I think the issue is no help from the pitch, well the pace bowlers anyway. Archer would be nice here but obviously would be a volume issue.
paulcook Jun 2023 4:32pm, 20 Jun 2023 2,879 posts	0 paulcook Going back to a previous discussion, this does feel like Bazball versus crease occupation. And as you probably rightly say, one bowler short means crease occupation becomes a little easier for Australia.
