None of us Aussie fans should be surprised to sea the next breed of batsmen looking all at see against spin, they hardly get to play any at the domestic level so its pretty futile to expect them to play spin well at this level.

How is this any different to the past 30 years? Quality spin is a rarity in our game.

We had better spinners in our domestic system just only half a decade ago but that's not the issue, the real problem is in recent times the wickets that we are playing domestic cricket on have nothing in it for spinners which has just sidelined the spinners all together.

he made it look far, far harder than it actually was though. not that far above head height. should've been caught.

edit: get the feeling the crowd wants forrest to speed up.

I understand your point regarding pitches. It's tough because the one major criticism of the Australian batsmen is an inability to play the moving delivery. Curators across the country have been preparing green wickets for two seasons which may work to our benefit in the future. Hard to get the mix right.

Playing on damp or green pitches is hardly great prep for an aspiring international batsman to learn his trade on, all its achieved is made ordinary seamers look way better they are and made pretty decent batsman look absolutely inept.
