I do think it’s a good place to bowl spin. “We will have to see what a closer forecast is and how that pitch changes over the next couple of days. “We are not going to name a team just yet,” Root said. He is a superstar in his own right, isn’t he? From the noises I’m hearing I should imagine he’ll be coming in and telling me he’s ready.” England team newsĮngland captain Joe Root kept his cards very close to his chest following Australia’s decision to go early with their team for the 1st Test, refusing to confirm whether he will play spinner Jack Leach in Brisbane, a venue where spin traditionally prospers.
