Can't play Maxwell surely as a second spinner? If he were to play it would be at the expense of Henriques as the all-rounder and then draft in a second spinner (Doherty?) in place of Siddle. From what I hear, the Aussies do not rate Doherty as a 5 day spinner though, so that's a problem in itself.

Is Julia Gillard aware of this? Could be some stumbling blocks.....

And that's where he will stay. To be fair, Aussies were unlucky that Beer got injured as he would have played, but cupboard is so bare that Clarke was close to selecting Ager, a young Aussies spinner with only 3 first class games to his name. I'm sure Warnie will offer to come out of retirement, AGAIN!

They could always revert to The Postman Brad Hogg....

Or even their previous best Ashes spinner, Marcus North...

The thing I don't get is when Shane Warne was playing every young kid wanted to bowl spin and every junior team had at least 3 spinners in the team who wanted to bowl like their hero. Now you can't find a decent spinner if you tried here... We should have a 100 spinners trying to break into the national side...

Where have these young kids gone? Why don't Australia have a decent spin program with someone like Shane Warne mentoring?

We had a golden run with spinners. Robert Holland, Peter Taylor, Shane Warne, Tim May, Stuart Macgill... And great spinners even before these guys.
