5 Things that can help Australia defend their World Cup title in 2019

#4 Strategize better against wrist-spin

Plating against spin bowling has for long been the Achilles heel for Australian batsmen

It is quite evident that the foreign teams do struggle against quality spin bowling but the Australians seem to have no clue against the wrist spinners. In the last seventeen games that they've played, The Kangaroos scored 1057 runs at an average of 25.78 giving away as many as 41 wickets which boils down to giving two wickets to wrist spinners every game.

The batsmen need to strategize better against spin bowling if they intend to get the scoreboard ticking in the middle overs. It is the runs scored by the batsmen against the spinners that make the difference between a decent total and a threatening target. The Australians need to work on rotating the strike and using their feet against spinners than trying to hit them for boundaries.

Rotating the strike and using the feet disturbs the bowler's line and length which will force them to commit mistakes. So, it is the video analysts of the team who need to work better on building different strategies and help the batsmen tackle spin better.
