Left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann is one training session away from a remarkable return to the Australian Test team, barely a week
“I think because I broke that finger a couple of years ago and didn’t get surgery it probably wasn’t as stable as it was . From what the doctor said, it was a freak accident – it hit the exact place where it had to hit. Now there’s a couple of screws in there, it’s a lot more stable. “When the pitch does provide some assistance, your job is to keep hitting the same area and using the crease. But that’s about just bowling to a marker before the batters get in there. That’s how I’ve always done it and testing yourself and doing it six out of six times and putting a bit of pressure on it.”Kuhnemann, Nathan Lyon and all-rounder Beau Webster shape as the likely spin trio for Australia should they wish to play two pace bowlers in Galle.
