Lol literally any schmuk can jog up and run through a team on a greentop. Stuart Binny 6/4 #NeverForget

Lol no think how much more often that happens with part-time spinners though. Clarke, Border, North, Katich, Bevan all have test 6 fers. How many does Brett Lee or Andrew Flintoff have?

Ishant Sharma took a 7 fer at the home of cricket bouncing out England's entire batting lineup.

and also it doesn't take a genius to realise pace is a harder skill to harnass than spin


any joe shmoe can roll his arm over and potentially be a max-effect spinner with the right pitch, look at Guptill recently
Haha you really could have found a much, much better example than that. He took three wickets.. against Zimbabwe.. only one of which was actually out.. and it was a half volley drilled for a catch to short cover.

well look at the example i gave a little later

and OS it doesn't help your argument when I'm using batsmen and you're using bowlers to make your point

look this is silly


Clarke, North, Katich, Borde and Bevan. Specialist Batsmen who had a go at spinning and produced insanely results and all have test 6fers. Even if it was only one day, they were unplayable for that one day.


How many times has a part-time pace bowler done something like this? Sourav Ganguly is a better example for you OS and he never came close. Ishant trained pace all his life even if he's not up to scratch compared to aussie pacemen. Check and mate.

So Finch to bat at 5 in India with Wade at 6.

Head's batted alright as well. Could get a nice N/O 50+ (SR < 75) here.

there is very little chance of Head getting a NO 50 with a SR of less than 75. It'd be a joke if he shut up shop and didn't try to hit sixes at the end if we can still win it

Didn't back Sri Lanka to take a game off the Aussies. Certainly didn't expect them to do it by taking 5 for 50 with medium pacers.
