By the way - 40 wickets every series is actually 34 in 6 matches, 24 in 6 matches and then 31 in 5 matches - a very good record, but more due to the lack of ability in the England line-ups of the time.
Was Mushtaq Ahmed brought up over here? No.
Other leggies? Please name some, because I can't think of any others that are successes over here.
There is no need to insult me for pointing facts out. Conditions here are not right for training spin bowlers.
If they're between 16 and 19, they are not good enough for FC Cricket, that's got nothing to do with making them bowl flat.
Oh yes, blame the coaches - it had nothing to do with the fact he was simply not good enough did it?
15 matches, 20 wickets @ 76.95 and 3.70 per over are absolutely terrible. Even in County Cricket he only averages 32, so it's not as if he's that good at that level!
In his matches on the sub-continent, which should be his best chance of wickets - 4 wickets in 5 matches at an average of 105.75!!!
Ok then Marc.... the Conditions in this Country are for leg spin.... it just the coaches that make it not and people like you?
Mushtaq Ahamed had a Great record against England
erm Paul Adams is doing well, Macgill did well in County Cricket so did Strang a lot of Leggis over the years have been success here but you point out crap batsman... how can they be poor but have the conditions to there advantage erm ok marc? i dont understand that so we are having a problem with Batting in this Country as well?
For the last time there are suited to the conditions TELL ME why not?
Some leggies in Jenner Acadamy are good enough to be in the firsts but at the moment they would get more of a bowl inthe seconds and the captain dont have Faith in this Country?
Salisbury according to other better qualified people then myself and you said that English Coaches who did not know how to bowl leg spin and teach taught him wrong... not on Purpose but it just happened that way. he would have been class at test level
and he did not have the mental apporch either.............
