David Warner has kept his place in Australia's XI for the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford despite the opener's ongoing struggles against England paceman Stuart Broad. | Sport24news
But spinner Todd Murphy could be omitted when the match starts Wednesday as Australia contemplate going into a Test without a frontline slow bowler for the first time in 11 years.
Broad has now dismissed the left-hander 17 times in Tests and could equal the record for most dismissals by a bowler against a single batsman at this level -- held by Australia great Glenn McGrath, who claimed the wicket of former England captain Mike Atherton 19 times -- if he does another double over Warner in Manchester.
The fast bowler added:"We back Davey, absolutely. We know how tough it can be to open over here. He's doing all the right things, he's shown some great signs and I'm sure a big score is just around the corner." "Nathan Lyon is the greatest off-spinner we've ever had so it's not quite apples for apples ," Cummins said.
