Who's "Marsh" Chris?

I doubt we will have a leggie then, and if they end up bowling like MacGill in the last few Tests with 100 runs + in every innings he bowled in or just about...then we will loose badly. That IS what happens when a leggie gets it wrong.

yeh i can definitely relate to Macgill and the problems he is having!
Its called the "Yips" I think, when a spinner cant land the ball properly

Who's going to be the "Leggie"? Your brother? ;)

1) Kadeer Ali over Shafayat?? Yeah, whatever.

2) That kind of Leg-spin is called "Bowling like me" - This Season's Analysis: 10.3-0-84-1 (top-edged slog to midwicket)

Michael DIghton!!! now theres a terrific talent. Seems to be have been around for ages but is still only pretty young.

I would think he'd get a shot at Test Cricket at some stage if he keeps his FC form up, but whether he goes on with it is up to him.

Eh? Cam White needs to learn that the most important facet of being a spin bowler is the ability to spin the ball. :D He's bascially a really slow (albeit, accurate) medium pacer.

Who's "Marsh" Chris?

That would be Shaun Marsh, the son of former Aussie vice-captain, Geoff Marsh. If he doesn't have a long Test career, I won't be the only VERY surprised. He can really play the game very well.

Agree with the first point about Cam White. Better batsmen at FC level than he is a bowler at the moment. That will change with experience though. He may become a Bill O'Reilly type who is quick through the air and gets bounce and not much turn.

Have heard Shaun Marsh is an absolute gun, but i've yet to see him bat. Has some impressive scores at various levels of cricket though, which can't be bad.

Oh ok. I thought Chris had gone mad and picked Daniel Marsh, the Aussie who played for Leicestershire not long ago.
