Josh Hazlewood says Australia doesn’t need more spinners in India despite heavy first up defeat

Australia hasn’t taken the wrong attack to the World Cup according to star quick Josh Hazlewood despite losing six wickets to spin in the opening loss to India and boasting just one frontline tweaker in their own outfit.

The six-wicket loss to the hosts in Chennai came on the back of the batting order being demolished by Indian spinners Ravindra Jadeja (3-28) and Kuldeep Yadav (2-42), as Australia’s frailties against slow bowling were exposed.

Conversely, Adam Zampa, the lone outright spinner in Australia’s squad after an injury to Ashton Agar, went wicketless and for 53 runs off just eight overs bowling on a surface the locals extracted mass spin from.

But Hazlewood, who took 3-38 after he and Mitchell Starc had India reeling at 3-2 before Virat Kohli and KL Rahul easily reeled in Australia’s middling total of 201, said pace would continue to be his team’s main weapon.

He also pointed to all-rounder Glenn Maxwell’s capabilities as a spinner to balance out Australia’s bowling attack.
