Paceman Peter Siddle does not believe Australia's decision to play four seamers in the decisive final Ashes Test will
come back to haunt them.
Siddle was the pick of the bowlers as Australia restricted England to 307-8 on day one at The Oval.
He took 4-63 on a wicket which showed signs of turning on day one.
But despite the possibility of spin and the tourists opting to omit off-spinner Nathan Hauritz from their side, Siddle believes the selectors have made the right call.
"I don't think it's deteriorating. It's still a nice wicket to bowl on," he said.
"It's going to stay pretty solid and will be a pretty good batting wicket over the next two or three days.
"I don't think spin will be a massive part of it. When all four quicks stuck together and bowled in partnership, we had success."
