Guest gaurav_indian Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 There are not many.Ojha is an average spinner. Amit Mishra and Piyush Chawla are leg spinners.Any other offie you know? Link to comment
Shane Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Mohnish Parmar, R Ashwin comes to mind, Parmar has to work on his dodgy action Link to comment
Guest gaurav_indian Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Mohnish Parmar' date=' R Ashwin comes to mind, Parmar has to work on his dodgy action[/quote'] Thats where the difference comes b/w indian and sri lankan.They dont alter their natural action.Look at malinga and murali.If murali can play why cant parmar?

DomainK Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I would like to see a leg spinner in. Who we have to take advantage of the bowlers' footmarks on a day 5 pitch? Only Yuvraj....who is just a part timer. Link to comment
amits Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 mishra, jadeja, parmar & r ashwin are the next spinning options. chawla doesnt seem to be too exciting jadeja & 1 out of parmer & ashwin should be there in the next india a tour Link to comment

We would have to quetion the Gujarat Cricket Association in that regards, http://blogs.cricinfo.com/surfer/archives/2009/01/the_curious_cas_1.php Link to comment
Show_stopper Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Indian team seriously needs to think about playing the wrist spinner Mishra outside the sub-continent.I know Harby got a 6 fer recently but i felt it was as exception rather than the rule. Link to comment
cochise Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Everytime time Harbhajan does well...it's the exception. That being said, I too would like to see Mishy Mishy cultivated more...I think he has good potential...I just wish he wasn't so short...he would get more bounce. The one andvantage to being so short is that he has to give the ball air...the ball has to arc from his hand delivery height upwards, to get above the eyeline of the batsmen and then dip down...this is a long trajectory for the batsmen's eyes to follow and can disorganise/disorient the batsmen at the crease. Couple turn into the equation and some bounce due to the drop height from the apex of the arc...and you have a potent weapon. Link to comment

I have nothing against Harbhajan..its just that he genuinely doesn't fill me with confidence.I wouldn't put any of the wickets he got in the first test down to particularly good piece of bowling.

Laaloo Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 What is Murali Kartik doing these days? Link to comment
graphic23 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 What is Murali Kartik doing these days? Playing in the counties. Commentary? I dunno, he's the first guy to get a 6-fer and get dropped after. :-/ Link to comment
Guest gaurav_indian Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 What is Murali Kartik doing these days? He is the unluckiest guy in indian cricket. Link to comment
diegovegaz Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 ojha is still to be tested at the level he has done well in the limited oppurtunities he has got ashwin perhaps does not belong to this level jadeja is more of an all rounder, i hope this thread is looking for genuine spinners parmar seems to be an exciting prospect, once he settles his action dispute for the time being, pragyan ojha is the best option Link to comment
amits Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 a player who takes 42 wickets in ranji & is the leading wicket-taker, also looked impressive while bowling in intl matches, can turn the ball doesnt count to be a spinner just bcoz he can bat well:s: jadeja should be among the spinning options & should be a part of the india-a team in 4-day matches. and jadeja is a genuine spinner Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 amits, are you also going to suggest Dhoni as a spinning option? Link to comment
amits Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 dhoni is a wicket-keeper batsman who can bowl a bit of medium-pace, nothing more than that Link to comment
