Bob Bamber
U19 12th Man
What do you guys reckon about him. He is a great spinner (The best in england at the moment) but he can't really bat and his fielding leaves alot to be desired at the best of times.

They're just jealous in England because they don't have Arjun's supreme six-hitting all-rounder Munaf Patel at #11.Sanz said:The fact that people talk about his batting speaks volume of England's dependence on its tailenders. As long as he continues to bowl well and improves his fielding, IMO that should be okay, I dont care if he breaks the world's worst batter record.
No, I think it speaks volumes about the need for a side to have capable batsmen down to 11.Sanz said:The fact that people talk about his batting speaks volume of England's dependence on its tailenders.

Panesar is a decent bowler but guys on TV and in the press are going overboard about his bowling and action.
There is all this 'lets be nice to him because he tries hard' attitude with the commentators. There is pseudo-intelligent cricket analysis stating that he has such a wonderful and classic action. Its ********. I agree its pretty but it is far from perfect.
His arm and body action is fine but his head is in a horrible position at the time of delivery. His head is tilted back and his eyes are closer to vertical than horizontal.
It will be very difficult to achieve consistency if his eyes are so uneven and find it hard to visualize and hit a spot.
I have never seen a left arm orthodox bowler be cut so often. He drops it short far too often. If he could straighten his head then he will certainly pitch the ball up with more consistency and increase pressure on batsmen.
I’m not saying he is a bad bowler at all but it seems most analysis seems to overemphasis what he does well in order to offset his obvious weaknesses.
Did you forget to take your medicine today? Can I call a nurse to help with your dellusions? That statement may just qualify as an abuse of the work great.Bob Bamber said:What do you guys reckon about him. He is a great spinner
No Doubt and he deserves his spot for the time being.Bob Bamber said:(The best in england at the moment)
