Hmm im not sure
I think he lacks control, especially from his action..But what he loses in that, he gains in being unpredictable and getting bounce off the pitch..
What an offer for him though, doesnt he work on a tomato stall at the moment??!

I think he is a great player. He takes wickets against top teams and usually at a good economy.
I only saw a little of the world cup but of what I did see, He was one of the best spinners there.
It would be great to see him playing there.. It can only be good for his cricket.

The rumour got as far as Cricinfo, for sure.
How good is he?
Well, IMO he is a staggeringly good prospect - no more.
He needs to learn an awful lot - especially what to do when batsmen target him, but he does look to have a good head on his shoulders.

Sorry couldn't reply earlier as i had problems with my Internet Provider as it was down for few days. I saw Collins bowling Googly and Flipper in the game against Zim in sharjah. He turned the googly a long way and he did have good control over them . Earlier he only used to bowl the leg spinner but now he is adding variations to his bowling. I did't see his other matches though.luckyeddie said:

Yes, Obuya didn't have much variation in the world cup and if he can add a decent googly and a flipper to his armoury then he can become a better bowler.
Also he needs to mature a bit more and not get fazed when the batsman are going after him.In the super-six match against India he was looking very menacing at the start and Yuvraj was all at sea while playing him and Ganguly wasn't comfortable either with the amount of bounce he was getting, but once Ganguly decided to go after him he was a completely different bowler after that.....he was bowling short and his line faltered and both Yuvraj and Ganguly completely took him apart. Leg spinners need to realise that they will be hit, but if they can take it in their stride and keep consistent with what they are doing, then they will get rewarded.
