I get that feeling he is all about confidence as well. thanks for your insights here,
You just have to look at leggies gone by, with the exception of Warne (suprise surprise) and to some extent Kumble, who were both masters of consistency and accuracy, (Warne is just a legspin god, Kumble moreso HAD to be accurate to be effective, considering he relied more on consistent wicket to wicket bowling with changes of pace and making it go both ways that out and out drift and turn), the likes of your Macgill's, Kaneria's, and more recently, no better example than Imran Tahir.
Put it this way, there a NO established leggies going around cricket (correct me if I'm wrong here anybody) because the game has shifted to a point where run restriction is a huge element of a spinners game and with the sheer volume of limited overs cricket going around that not gonna change anytime soon. My point I guess, is that leggies are seen as a liability, hell at times we can be because it can go horribly wrong. So when a leggie comes onto the scene, and has to bowl, with limited opportunities the pressure to make your mark is immediately thrust upon you, look at how excited everyone got over Ish and hailing him this that and the third. With that limited opportunity every spell seems to become make or break or "gotta make the most of these overs" and that just starts to ruin your confidence.
Getting off topic here though, any thought on Ryder AND Anderson both playing with Anderson as a third seamer, I know it seems a long shot provided that he prob doesnt need that workload but down the line maybe Anderson to play a Carins type role?
