Ashes: Murphy Hints At Australia Opting For All-pace Attack In Sydney, Says ‘there’s A Bit Of Grass’ At SCG
Todd Murphy: Australia off-spinner Todd Murphy admitted that, although his eyesight isn’t great, he could see the SCG pitch looked very green three days before the fifth Test, once again raising questions about the role of spinners in this Ashes series.
Murphy, 25, is in contention to play his first Test in Australia after featuring in seven matches overseas. However, there is no certainty he will be selected for Sydney, a ground usually friendly to spin, especially after he was left out of the Melbourne Test that ended in just two days.
According to the images surfacing, the SCG pitch, ahead of the fifth Ashes Test starting Sunday, is mostly green, increasing the chance Australia will again choose an all-pace bowling attack.
