Australia’s spin department features Nathan Hauritz and Michael Clarke. Tim Paine would deputize for injured wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, while Australia would like Cameron White to continue his excellent form of recent.
England, on the other hand, has nothing to worry about as they would like to capitalize on their home condition. Rather, England knows it very well that they have improved a lot since their September humiliation.
