SCG: Earlier when a puff of dust appeared on the SCG wicket, Brett Lee said on Fox Cricket that Todd Murphy would be “licking his lips”.
The reality for Murphy is the next time he plays on the wicket will be probably be January 11 for the Sixers.
Right now Joe Root and Harry Brook are going along nicely and the general feeling here is could a spinner help?
Murphy wasn’t too impressive in the nets during training but does anyone look great bowling to Steve Smith?
If Travis Head gets a bowl soon, it’s probably an early admission that a spinner would’ve been a nice addition.
Nonetheless, England are still three wickets down.
