Lehmann rules out rotation for Oz pace bowlers in Adelaide Test

Australian coach Darren Lehmann has pronounced Australia's controversial bowler rotation policy dead and buried and said pace spearhead Ryan Harris would not be rested from next week's second Ashes Test in Adelaide.

According to Sport24, the coach has also counselled outspoken Australian opener David Warner, who labelled Trott poor and weak during the home side's first Test triumph in Brisbane.

Lehmann scotched speculation that Harris would be rested from the Adelaide Test starting on Thursday, with only a three-day turnaround before the third Test in Perth, the report said.

Lehmann further said after trouncing the tourists in the series opener by 381 runs, Australia's challenge was to prove their consistency, according to the report.

 

The drop-in Adelaide pitch is expected to be a batsman-friendly strip, in contrast to the bouncy Brisbane wicket in the first Test, and Lehmann said Australia would adjust their plans accordingly, the report mentioned.
