Australia vs New Zealand Champions Trophy match: 2 June at Birmingham at 7.30pm (Mel/Syd)

Who in this team is getting picked because they bowl part time spin? Maxwell rarely bowls anymore and Head is definitley picked for his batting.

Head reminds me of Boof with his bowling, it's developing into a very useful part of his ODI game.

Perhaps you didn't read the quote properly. No one is there for part time spin. I am wary of batters who are picked because they happen to roll an arm over every now and then. Head can quite easily play for batting alone. As can Maxwell but I would rather a specialist spinner to perform that role rather than an 'all rounder'.

Sorry I thought you meant pick a specialist bat.
