Englands next best spinner

[Hanuma]

yeah...last month.

it might have something to do with the pva pitch tho.

 

[Neil Pickup]

you make good points, but i feel there is a difference between shane warne who is a legend and a world class wrist spinner.

nevertheless, did you not see the turn that the sri lankan undre 19's were getting in the odi series....immense.

That is nonethless because it's late July/August - wristies become as useful in August as medium pace swing bowlers are in April, May, early June and late September!

I'm very much looking forward to seeing leggies coming through post-Warne - I'm a leggie myself, just a really, really crap one - but it's like Australia and all-rounders (or India and seamers) in that you can only work with the raw materials you have.

 

[Hanuma]

my point is that the "raw material" must surely be significant enough to create at least one top class wrist spinner every 20 years or so.


if it isnt then it means wrist spin is exclusively an art for the gods or that english people are **** at sport.

 

[Shane Warne]

One thing I can definately tell you is that it isn't Chris Peploe of Middlesex.

So long as you're talking globally... since the war you have three - Kumble, Qadir and Warne.
