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.
