Back when he was a spinner. Good times.

I hadn't heard of him until I joined this forum and honestly it took me about a year to realsie he wasn't actually a spinner, so little attention did I pay to scorecards/matches involving

Similarly and more embarassingly, I saw someone refer to 'Arun' Finch, went 'huh, didn't realise it was spelt like that' and believed in that spelling for ages...

Both were well better than a run-a-ball, and his other innings in the series was a 60-odd. Other than that series he probably averages sub-20 with the bat, or close to it.

Also never made another List A hundred in a career spanning 321 games
