Lack of spin a worry for Australia

Jon Pierik, writing in the Herald Sun, worries about Australia’s lack of quality spin options during a tournament where the pitches are expected to offer turn.

The two top-ranked sides lack a match-winning spinner, with Australia relying on left-arm wrist spinner Brad Hogg while the Proteas will forge ahead with an all-pace attack.

AAP reports Viv Richards saying Australia do not have the ability to hit back after losing to England and New Zealand last month.
