    "editor1": "Sri Lanka: Australia batter Nathan McSweeney has said he will bring out a new method of playing spin bowling in Sri Lanka during the two-match Test series in Galle, adding that facing spinners at home is very different to playing against them in the island nation.\n<p>In the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy, McSweeney struggled against India\u2019s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, averaging just 14.4 in three matches, before losing his place to young opener Sam Konstas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But McSweeney was handed a second chance in Tests via his selection for the Test trip to Sri Lanka, where his skills against spinners will be put through a stern examination by the hosts\u2019 spinners\u2019 led by Prabath Jayasuriya, who took a 12-wicket haul in a win over Australia in 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve worked out a method (batting to spin) in Australia that\u2019s worked for me so far in my Shield career, but I\u2019ll definitely have to develop a new one \u2026 playing spin in Australia is very different to playing spin over there.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m lucky enough to have grown up in Queensland with Mitch Swepson and Matt Kuhnemann, and have faced a lot of spin \u2013 and quality spin. Hopefully, I can implement the work in Sri Lanka. I didn\u2019t quite take my opportunity when I got my first three Tests, so I\u2019m hopeful, but you just never know,\u201d said McSweeney to The Age on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve worked out a method (batting to spin) in Australia that\u2019s worked for me so far in my Shield career, but I\u2019ll definitely have to develop a new one \u2026 playing spin in Australia is very different to playing spin over there.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
