Why bother turning it at all when you can Jadeja it?

What happened to big spinners of the ball?

Just been watching highlights of the Aus vs RoW 'test' in Melbourne - the one where Sobers scored his big double. Four spinner across the teams and not a single ball turned notably.
I sometimes wonder how it's possible to turn the ball as little as Kerry O'Keeffe. Like, you have to be actively trying to not turn it.

I remember Jenner bowling well in that match. O'Keefe was a quickish spinner and admitted himself he was never a big turner.

Most of them were Jenner. Think he might have turned one three inches once.

Maybe maybe not. He bowled with good speed and loop and yet on a length all the while under Sobers' fire. Thought him pretty good.

Some hard Aussie pitches just don't turn much. Unless you're Warne or MacGill it doesn't happen
