Guys, is Barnes a pacer or a spinner? Crucial question for my team.
I prefer spinner ankitj, but both spinner and pacer is probably the right answer because he could bowl just about anything. Which way you go will probable be determined by whether you are are happy with one fast bowler (Steyn) in your team or not.

Wisden referred to Fazal as the 'Alec Bedser of Pakistan' when he was named a cricketer of the year in 1954. His bowling action was different to Bedser but his method of getting the batsman out by a combination of medium paced leg-cutters and swing was the same. Apparently. But you might want to double check that.

Barnes = seamer for me, however you can certainly get away with saying he's your spinner imo

Darren Lehmann
