I think you need to decide whether Gillespie and Shoaib are quick bowlers or seamers.

They can be both can't they as they? As they are seam bowlers who happen to bowl the ball very quickly as well.

Errrrr, I'd hardy call Shoaib a seam bowler. He moves the ball in the air. I rarely see him hit the seam (or even try). Same with Chaminda Vaas.

That's okay. You're not the only one who's done that. Most commentators (guys who PLAYED the game at that level0 still don't make the distinction, except when a swing bowler is on.

Jayasuriya's captaincy has been poor on the England tour.

If you don't have an avatar you end up inheriting the one that the guy who posted in front of you has.
