The Australian's Peter Lalor talks to Bob Simpson and Bruce Reid, who say Australia’s current bowlers are delivering too many full balls.
"In New Zealand they were trying to bowl every ball a yorker, which basically left the batsman to get on the front foot or rock right back and turn it into a half-volley," Reid said. "If you had Brett Lee, who could come in and knock their head off, they'd have to be a good hooker to score, but without him you can use a good length ball or just get wide of the crease for the odd yorker."
