Spinners are the key

Spinners have played a huge role in the second year of the Indian Premier League, they have made vital contributions to their teams which have changed games, especially with some of the slower wickets which are being played in South Africa. However, first class spinners are finding it much harder to survive, with batsman going after spinners much more than they have in the past, and the wickets, most notably in Australia not giving them much assistance.

Nathan Hauritz could be the key.


Australia have tried a long list of specialist spinners since legendary Shane Warne's retirement and none of them have impressed selectors enough to hold a spot. Beau Casson is struggling to even find a spot in the New South Wales side after struggling in the domestic circuit last summer, Jason Krezja is being overlooked time and time again despite a promising debut which saw him take an impressive 12 wickets. Nathan Hauritz is the latest to be given a chance and he performed well, and is proving he can perform in the position; Hauritz for the time being should be Australia's preferred spinner. Sure he might not have that fizzing leg break that is almost unplayable but he can still get the ball to talk and isn't too expensive either.



There is a lot of talent in the domestic circuit at the moment, and there is one player who is a standout for me. This player is Steven Smith he is an all rounder who bowls some great legbreaks and can play as a top order batsman at the same time. The inclusion of David Warner paid off for the Australian selectors after he smashed 89 in the opening twenty20 international in Australia, so why not include a young spinner who is full of potential? They did it with Shane Warne and look at how his career panned out. Australia must back their young talent and play younger guys in the team or it will backfire on them. Bryce McGain is way past that age barrier so unlike Warne he won't be able to come back from that disappointing test debut, so youth is the key.
