Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3339699, member: 9651"] I think the travelling spinners struggle so much here because their pace attacks are usually getting decimated by batsmen like Ponting, Smith, Clarke, Hussey, Hayden, Gilchrist etc. Aside from the recent India side that came out, the English team in 2010/11 and RSA in 2016/17, I can't think of many teams that have really had parity with our pack attack. Of those 3 sides, if you were to pull out the spinners from those tours: England 2010/11 - Swann 15 wickets @ 39.80 v. Doherty 3 wickets @102 RSA 2016/17 - Maharaj 4 wickets @ 40.50 v. Lyon 6 wickets @ 57.66 India 2020/21 - Ashwin 12 wickets @ 28.83 v. Lyon 9 wickets @ 55.11 Aside from Ashwin, the numbers aren't impressive but they do show travelling spinners have had the better of their Australian counterparts when the pace attacks have also had success. The bottom line is don't bring out a rubbish pace attack to Aus and expect to do well. [/QUOTE]
