The fact that Lyon has looked 40 years old for the last 12 years got people thinking he was more experienced than he was.

BlindSite posted:I think it's because once Shane Warne retired there was a significant 5 year lag in Australia's spinning stocks and CA realised there were gently caress all full time spinners coming through the ranks and invested in it pretty heavily. The growth of T20 has only helped really because every team's realised you need at least one front line spinner to get you through some overs. Kind of hard to believe but Nathan Lyon has been Australia's front line spinner for like 12 loving years. So the generation coming through grew up watching him too. Interesting and seemingly very sensible. I guess I'm wondering why England didn't follow something similar. I know people say the pitches offer them nothing but the signing of internationals to fill in reveal at least some demand unless that's an anomaly

If England had held on to the Marsh drop and the Head drop and everyone else scored the same they would currently have a lead of 15.

England have produced one international level good spinner ever, in Swann. It's just not a thing they develop.

Okay, bazball is under pressure, but hitting the first ball of your innings and the session for six is a vibe

Ratios and Tendency posted:England have produced one international level good spinner ever, in Swann. It's just not a thing they develop. Much like Crawley and Duckett, I actually think England have done okay in the circumstances with Leach and hopefully Ahmed. It's structurally hard to develop spinners in England, so they've given Leach a massive rope and not asked too much of him. Similar to how Australia developed Lyon in fact.

Ratios and Tendency posted:England have produced one international level good spinner ever, in Swann. It's just not a thing they develop. Not ever just since the end of uncovered wickets. Until about 1980 England always had at least a couple of top class spin bowlers to pick from. Once covered wickets became universal English pitches just no longer break up anywhere near as much as they do in Australia or the West Indies, let alone Asia. The climate just doesn't make that possible. Boycott was always banging on that we should bring uncovered pitches back...

Why not set a field for length bowling, and I dont know, bowl good length bowling on a wicket that is doing a fair bit for bowlers. This obsession with short poo poo to buy a wicket is really dumb. edit: bowling to first slip probable isn't in the plan either. VOTE1 fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Jul 7, 2023 |
