Ashes: Lack Of Spin Bowling Has Made Cricket In This Series One-dimensional, Says Atherton
England Cricket: Former England captain Michael Atherton believes the ongoing Ashes series has become "one-dimensional" due to the lack of spin bowling caused by pitches being more in favour of fast bowlers.
England did not select a specialist spinner for any of the five matches, with off-spinner Shoaib Bashir overlooked, while Will Jacks bowled occasional off-spin but was not considered a frontline option.
Australia, meanwhile, named Nathan Lyon for the first and third Tests but omitted the veteran off-spinner from the day-night fixture in Brisbane before losing him to a hamstring injury sustained during their series-clinching victory in Adelaide. The hosts opted against replacing Lyon with fellow off-spinner Todd Murphy in both Melbourne and Sydney Tests.
