So he's gone.
Our key weapon...
has gone for eight or more off his first over.
I think that our spinning depth is not too bad.
I think it's always going to be hard.
You imagine...
anyone that came behind Shane Warne, you're going to get compared immediately to those sort of numbers and that sort of pressure.
I think Todd Murphy's got a big role to play without any question as well.
And Matt Kernan can also play a role across the formats as well.
And he has actually got a few opportunities and just hasn't quite got the longevity in selection or the trust maybe in selection.
So, you know, to me, that's not really the issue.
The issue in this tournament was that
We just picked way too many part-time all-rounders.
And so what that meant is that Ellis and Zampa, our more front-line and consistent bowlers in our attack, just didn't have the support.
I mean, these guys, they have such good match-up thinking.
So even when I look at, for example, the Sri Lankan bowling line-up last night,
The match-ups are obvious.
I mean, you get through Hamata, Walagi and... Tikshana.
Tikshana.
And suddenly you've got Dustin Chanaka that's going to have to bowl his overs and he's going to get pounded.
