Not a test class but a good limited overs bowler.
His FC record suggests otherwise..

I'm not entirely sure how it would work out really, it's just that with players like McGrath, Clark, Asif and Pollock being some of the most effective bowlers of the past ten years bowling at a pretty similar pace, it's odd how reluctant selectors are to give these med-fast guys with insane FC records a go. Even when they do get picked, any time they leak runs it's blamed on their lack of pace, even though faster bowlers leak runs a lot too, so fans and selectors turn on them very quickly.

Where do you go to find the separate records?

Also, have you seen Lonwado Tsotsobe try to bowl?

Yeah, but have you seen Lonwado Tsotsobe try to bowl?
Vaas took 300 test wickets and 400 ODI wickets by bowling just that or even bit slower. But you have to be dead accurate for that. And Kulasekara bowls in a similar pace, he's till among top 10 ODI bowlers on current form.

This is another talent coming through. A wicketkeeper batsman who likes to whack tha ball.



ODIs - Avg 75.1, SR 85
FC - Avg 54.5
List A - Avg 27.5, SR 78

He's the one to take over gloves from Sangakkara in ODIs

Yeah, Vaas is another one.

Need pretty awesome control of length, something they all have in common. I think fast bowlers are sometimes more likely to get punished for straying onto the pads or leg-side, saw that a lot with Brett Lee.

Name would help, tbh

This. So much this.

Not Terrible
PJ > Kaushal Silva > Chandimal with the gloves

Kaushal is rated pretty highly with the gloves as well so isn't the worst people to be behind.

Chandimal from what I have seen looks absolute gun, always nice to see SL producing quality young batsman.
 

Eclipse

International Debutant
I really think Steve Smith will be a good player, not sure his bowling will be great but it should be quite handy due to the fact he can spin it. As a batsman if he can tighten his techneque a bit he looks the goods
