    Spin bowling in Test & Limited overs cricket

    Remember when finding a good leg-spinner for test cricket was dream world ? But now it seems finger spinners are performing better and are backed more for the longer format ? DRS and the ability to attack the pads with more accuracy. Is this a positive ? How much easier is it for spinners to...

    Best South African to play test cricket for England ?

    It isn't a bad collection isn't it ? There have been a few others but there are a clear 6 that stood out. The one's included are the one's who spent the majority of the initial part of their lives in SA. So guys like Prior and Strauss are less like the guys below. The answer may seem easy but...
