Part time bowlers you love to watch?

Nathan Astle and Craig McMillan. Both capable of a bit of movement in the air and able to keep a nice tight line.

Ponting, Blewett, Smitteh, Bevan of the Australians I can think of in recent times.

The 'partnership breaker' Doug Walters was a bit more than a part timer. But always good to watch.

It also gave Doug something to do in the field. Because otherwise he'd be doing things like counting the crowd - one by one.

Doughie had some interesting theories. One was that the second half of every hour went slower because the hands on the old analogue clocks at cricket grounds had to battle gravity on their way up to the 12, and had gravity to assist on their way back down to the 6.

I actually like to watch David Warner bowl, don't know just like to watch leg spinners at work.

Overall though, loved to watch King Carl bowling his lolipops, especially when Boycott was in the working in the box.

I liked something a bit different, or working to a plan (other than containment, or giving others a rest)

So;
the wrist spin of Bevan and Smith.
Watson bowling full reverse in duckers
Craig White ditto
Blewett also ditto
Craig McMillan during his bouncer phase
