‘I Won’t Be Careful, It Sucks’, Says Swepson On No Spinners Fielded In SCG Test
At a venue historically renowned for favoring slow bowlers, Australia fielded an all-pace attack, and overlooked a spin bowling option for the third time in the ongoing Ashes. “It sucks, mate. I won’t be careful, it sucks. Being a spin bowler I am obviously bias but I think we’ve seen it for a while now, seen it coming in (Sheffield) Shield cricket.
“We see less and less spin bowlers coming into games, particularly in certain parts of the country and I think that’s what we’re now seeing in the Test arena. You see greener wickets, you see seam be the main source of wickets and it’s such a shame because I think there’s a really good piece there, a spot for spin bowling in Test cricket,” Swepson told reporters after playing for Melbourne Stars in their Big Bash League (BBL) game against Melbourne Renegades at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
