Here are England’s spinners and their records in Australia. Given seam bowling is Australia’s strongest suits and has been for more than five years, the pitches will be juiced and spin may not be required. But England will still need to find someone to bowl the overs their spinners have habitually been required to bowl down there.

England's recent record on Day 5 in Tests supports this approach, since 2022, they've batted on the final day 10 times, scoring at an impressive rate of 4.4 runs per over.
