Warne and MacGill show?

Former England coach David Lloyd believes Australia could defy more than 50 years of history and play leg spinners Shane Warne and Stuart MacGill in tandem this Ashes series. Australia is still chewing over what pace attack to deploy in the first Test, at Lord's starting next Thursday, but the series' late start on spin-friendly wickets at Old Trafford (third Test) and The Oval (fifth) has Lloyd convinced MacGill won't be on standby in case Warne's injured. Quoted on FoxSports, he said:

"At a couple of the venues at this time of the year in England I wouldn't be at all surprised if Australia played both leg spinners in MacGill and Warne,"

Warne and MacGill have played nine Tests together - the last in January, when their 13 wickets rolled Pakistan in Sydney - but none together in England.
