First time in 15 years

[printex]

AUSTRALIA have been warned to prepare for a period of pain in which their spinners are overshadowed by the rest of the world for the first time in more than 15 years. A man of near-retirement age, 36-year-old Victoria leg-spinner Bryce McGain, is the next best with an impressive 38 wickets at 34.78 during the last first-class summer. But the returns from other spinners, including South Australia off-spinner Dan Cullen, who averaged 49 last season, and Queensland leg-spinner Dan Doran, who averaged 72 last season, are ordinary at best. Redbacks leg-spinner Cullen Bailey, once considered the next big thing, cannot even get a game for his state, while former Australia off-spinner Nathan Hauritz is earmarked primarily as a one-day specialist. Former Australia leg-spinner Kerry O'Keeffe is worried the immediate spin future is not bright.:finger: "The cupboard is looking pretty bare," O'Keeffe said. "I wish Beau Casson all the best but I think Australia will have to adjust to a period where the rest of the world has better spinners than us. :yay: "I heard some great reports about some spinners coming out of Pakistan at an under-19 level." :hatsoff: http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,23806299-23212,00.html

indian & sl spinners have always overshadowed aus spinners. aus spin department looks so weak these days that even sehwag & yuvraj singh can get into the aus team on the merit of their spin bowling

I heard Cricket Australia was putting all their energy into a long-term solution; cloning Shane Warne.

Whatever spinners they find now, they should make it a rule not to throw them to India ever again. If they do that, their next generation spinners might look good.:D
