The two above cases refer to Shane Warne and Harbhajan Singh respectively.. | All points well made Paoli, but as you say too "rubbish" is probably an exageration, it is correct that there aren't many quality slow left armers around, but the quality is still about average as opposed to rubbish. I always thought SLA bowling was bit a rare art, so perhaps unlikely that we'll ever have 10 excellent SLA bowlers in each of the ten 10 test cricket playing nations at a time, I can't really think of a time when that has happened in test cricket, or has it? |
