Being third spinner is different though due to the main spinners being able to take on a big load.
He wouldn't have to be heavily relied on with Starc and Webster opening the bowling. Murphy and Lyon doing a heap of the work. Him next in line, with Head and Marnus also as change up options. I think it's a definite chance we go that way if it looks like a turner that offers nothing to the quicks - which will most likely be the case. Particularly as there's no other spinner that you'd want to rely on.
If they think it's a 3 spinner deck - there's noone you'd particularly want as that third spinner so might as well strengthen the batting with the only bloke who can offer a spinning style that is seen as the most dangerous in Sri Lanka.

Yup, they'd absolutely know who is playing the first test before they've seen the pitch, trained for 7 days... or even gotten on the friggen plane
I don't understand the benefit of people posting so obviously made up shit.
Gonna be weird for Ingo’s English parents to barrack for Aus

If they take Kuhnemann in the hope he is right for test 2 and don't add anyone, we won't have many bowling options in test 1. It's Boland/Abbott if it looks like a 2 seamers + Webster pitch - Connolly if it doesn't. I'll be surprised it it's a two seamers pitch. So they might have told family that he's a very good chance of playing.Yup, they'd absolutely know who is playing the first test before they've seen the pitch, trained for 7 days... or even gotten on the friggen plane

They’re surely only taking Kuhnemann if he’s right for both tests.
Can confirm that is not my source
If true and Inglis comes in, that'd suggest they're looking to open with Head and Konstas would be out – which no cricket fan wants to see.

Honestly, given the WTC standings, if Smith were to miss I wouldn’t mind. Head to captain, Ussie to 3, labs to 4, Konstas and head to open

Head will open wont he? He looked so much better in India coming in against the new ball than he'd previously looked coming in to spinners in the subcontinent. Uzzy can play middle order if they want to stick with Konstas. It'd be fun to watch.
