When I first saw Schofeild play against Zimbabwe I was very impressed with him , I recall thinking England may just have uncovered a wrist spinner woth writing home about , certainly didnt look out of his depth (although it was only Zimbabwe) & was a handy bat.
He bowled four balls a little to regularly for my likeing (although with the exception of Warne , Mushie & Kumble most leggies do) , but he was a guenuine spinner of the ball , he seemed to have a good temperament & wasnt afraid to throw it up & try buy a wicket.
I still reckon that he could have a role to play for England in future , Giles , Croft , Brown & Keedy could all do a job at test level but IMO none of them will ever be a massive threat to a test quality lineup.
But I reckon with improved control & a bit of coaching (Warnie will be in England next year , aye) , he could be the spinner England have been searching for for a lot longer than I've been around.
Just unfortunately last year he seemed to get a bad case of the yips , just lost confidence in his bowling , as did the Lancashire managment & thus he was picked in the county's first XI more for his batting.
