didn't bashir get dropped from his own county of Somerset this CC?
No he was always behind Leach

Don't really need 2 spinners as it's not really Ciderbad anymore. But when they have Vaughan who can bat they don't need Bashir.

He's not being kept on by Somerset though. Who he ends up we shall see.

Root the golden arm.

Root is a much better bowler than Bashir, also just happens to be the best batsman in the world, What a guy

Do many counties want an average spinner who can't bat and is poor in the field?

Least Monty Panesar could bowl, he was the last spinner who couldn't bat or field we had.

That would be mental if he's without a club but playing in the Ashes in the winter.

Durham spinners are even shitter so we'll take anyone.

Whatever it takes!!!
Good to see someone acknowledge the pitch doctoring that is taking place.
I mean, I never mind home teams preparing tracks to suit them as long as they are not blatantly unplayable. But yeah, there is absolutely no difference between Aussies preparing bouncy roads, SC sides preparing turners and RSA preparing seaming pitches and what England are doing with Bazball.

He is England's best spinner as well as their best batsman, I'm sure he gets well paid from the ECB but whatever he is getting they should double it.

"silken" is not an adjective I would use for any of their knocks.

Now, if you had said VVS....
Did you quote the wrong guy lol? Anyway, yeah was being gracious calling the others that. Gill has that effortless willowy quality that only VVS and Azhar on the legside had. Rohit and KL are pleasing on the eye too but they have a bit of power to their strokeplay at times.
