Who is this D Barnard who appears in the extended squad list?

It's actually Dave Bernard Jr. (not Barnard- dam Ceefax;) ). He's a very good batsman and outstanding fielder. He also bowls effectively with medium pace. Quite a talent for the future. IMO, he's more suited to limited overs, but he had a brilliant Carib Cup this year.

Yeh but we weren't comparing Banks to you Rik. We're talking about cricketers good enough to play for Leicestershire second XI ;).

What do you think? Gayle and Sarwan might pick up a few wickets too, Sarwan has allways been a useful bowler in my eye.

Gayle is actually an outstanding ODI bowler (for a part timer) and I always though Sarwan was a good bowler. He actually turns it a good bit....much more than Nagamootoo. He also picked up a 6 for 20-odd a couple years back for Guyana. He should be given a go because, if it works, he could be very useful in the future. Not many teams have a 6th bowler who bowls legspin.

Tino Best wil replace Lawson in squad. If anyone doesn't know who he is (likely), he's a very talented, very quick young pace bowler. He was extremely impressive this season with over 35 wickets in the Carib Cup at a SR of laround 27. He's about 20 or 21 years of age.

I think that 6for was against England A as well! Ian Ward was scoring centuries for fun as well :)

i think he just lobs them down and rolls his fingers over the ball to spin it a bit :lol: :lol:

I bowl with a lot of energy on a fullish length and slip in the odd overspun top-spinner that takes off. Let's see if I can turn it on proper pitches rather than indoor nets...before you lot get too judgemental :P

Same speed, a very minor change in the action and grip (just looks like I'm trying to spin it with one finger on the seam).
