Hmmm, gives us 12 months to develop 2 quality spinners - I have no idea where they're coming from!

Freddie performed well last time out in India. His short of a length heavy-ball bowling proved very useful.

Obviously Giles will go as first choice spinner and I'd take Swann and Batty (in that order). Swann being a more attacking bowler than Batty.

Did pretty well in another part of the subcontinent, Sri Lanka too during 2003. 9 wickets at 24.56 with an economy rate of 2.28.

The best spinner in England is Gary Keedy - if he could hold a bat he'd be a shoe-in.
