Let me just set the record straight...

Amit Jaggernauth is a good spinner with a lot of talent, but he is not a 'great' spinner. He's in his first full season, but his second season overall.

He's accurate and gets a fair amount of turn. He's not a batsman by any means, but he can hold a bat and has shown good application even batting at 11.

lol:lol: :lol: its not his fault that his ancestors chose such a ... well... different name
Actually to be fair, the word juggernaut has its origin from the Indian name jaggannath. So, its the truck that sounds like him and not the other way :P

Useless trivia (now that you've given me the license by saying something like that):
Jagganath is the name of a hindu god. The image of the god is carried during a procession on a huge chariot. It used to be said that worshippers of Krishna threw themselves under the wheels of the chariot in religious ecstasy. And so juggernaut came to be used metaphorically in English for an irresistible crushing force.
