Why is Warnie not our spin coach?

Does it strike anyone as strange that Shane Warne isn’t coaching Australia’s spinners on this tour of India?

Is it unusual that an Australian spin coaches haven’t been appointed full time since Warney retired in 2007.

It has been five or six years and we have Nathan Lyon as our best spin prospect. How is this possible?

Something is not right! Is it that we don’t have enough money in Australian Cricket?

I have an idea. Get a sponsor and call it the BHP Australian Spin Kings Programme for goodness sake.

Correct me if I am wrong but names such as Xavier Doherty, Ashton Agar, Michael Beer, Aaron O’Brien, Steve O’Keefe, Chris Lynn bowl left arm orthodox and could be coached by anyone from Ray Bright to Bishen Bedi to Monty Panasar.

Names such as Cameron Boyce, Adam Zampa, James Muirhead, David Warner, Steve Smith and others could be taught by Warnie.

Names such as Nathan Lyon and Glenn Maxwell and other off spinners could work with Murali, Ash Mallett or Saqlain Mushtaq.

Why is Cricket Australia dragging the chain on the Australian spin programme?

Why in 5-6 years have we not got two spinners who could be picked in a Test Match, in India of all places?
