Marnus Backs Neser As Australia Faces Selection Headache For Adelaide Test
Neser, who was picked ahead of veteran spinner Nathan Lyon for the day-night Test, claimed five wickets in England's second dig, proving his worth once again with the pink ball.
Australia skipper Pat Cummins looks certain to return to the XI for the match, the hosts may also be tempted to recall Lyon after he was dropped for the day-night Test in Brisbane, with batter Marnus Labuschagne indicating the selectors will do everything they can to ensure the balance of the side is best suited to the conditions presented in Adelaide.
