I just can't see it, I swear I'm not just being biased because he's not an international either.

Tbf finger-spinners in general don't get my juices flowing.

WTF? It is awkward and cramped. His bowling is genius, but action is rubbish.

smalishah84 · 11-01-2013, 07:20 AM

not sure about that....I am probably biased but so many kids (myself included) would want to emulate that whippy action of his

Daemon · 11-01-2013, 07:41 AM

You're not a kid

The Sean · 11-01-2013, 07:46 AM

Happy with this order.

Wasim's action wasn't pretty but it was magical all the same

SJS · 11-01-2013, 01:17 PM
