‘I think it’s a make’: Steve Waugh points out Australia’s error in selection during ENG vs AUS 4th Ashes Test

Former Australia skipper Steve Waugh slammed Australia for dropping Todd Murphy from the playing eleven for the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford in Manchester.“I tend to disagree with it,” Waugh told SENQ Breakfast of the Australian selection.
Australia went into the game with an all out pace attack. “I think it’s a make, particularly in Manchester where the ball does turn,” observed Waugh.
“I know they’re probably looking at the forecast and saying there’s a bit of rain around, but you do need variation in the attack,” Waugh added.

Cameron Green missed the last Test at Headingley. Mitchell Marsh came into the side in place of him in the all-rounder slot. He had a brilliant outing. He scored a blering ton in the first innings and chipped in with crucial wickets with the ball as well.
Murphy, who played as the primary spinner in the game, bowled very little and could have been more effective.
“Particularly with the way England plays. They go at the bowlers really hard and we’ve got four right-arm quick bowlers so there’s a bit of sameness about our attack,” said Waugh.
This is the first time since 2012 that Australia hasn’t picked a recognised spinner in their attack.
Waugh also acknowledged Starc might bring the variation needed, “Mitchell Starc is the key being a left-arm and swinging the ball, he brings variation.”

“But if the wicket is pretty flat and we haven’t got too much up our sleeve, I think England will probably like the sight of the four right-arm quick bowlers,” he added.
