The Spinners Will Have To Bowl Really Well Against Sri Lanka, Says Shane Watson

By IANS News June 28, 2022 • 19:14 PM View: 804

Former Aussie cricketer Shane Watson believes that spin bowling, and veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon specifically, will be the key to Australia beating Sri Lanka in the upcoming two-match Test series, starting on June 29.

Both Test matches will be played in Galle -- traditionally a spinners' paradise -- and Watson said it was a no-brainer for Australia to play at least a two-man spin attack.
