Brendon turning into 'slow' coach

ALL-SPIN PLAN MOOTED

- Rory Dollard

BRENDON McCULLUM is prepared to double down on Bazball by fielding an entire attack of spinners in the second Test against India.

After claiming an unforgettable victory on Sunday in Hyderabad, where solitary seamer Mark Wood bowled 25 overs without opening his account on a slow turner, nothing is being ruled out by the England coach.

Going into a Test with just one pace option looked a remarkably bold move a week ago.

But with 18 of India’s 20 wickets in the first Test falling to spin, and the other two to run-outs, the Kiwi is flirting with an even more maverick selection.

After watching Tom Hartley take nine wickets on his debut, he may toss another rookie into the mix in Visakhapatnam on Friday.
