No spinner for Australia on 'grassy' MCG pitch

Australia opts not to include a spinner in the upcoming Boxing Day Test against England in Melbourne due to the green, furry pitch conditions. Stand-in captain Steve Smith announces a squad of 12 with only specialist pace bowlers and all-rounder Cameron Green. Australia is aiming for a 5-0 Ashes series whitewash after winning the first three Tests, while England seeks to break an 18-match winless streak in Australia with the final two Tests.
