BTW why cant our bowlers learn from Prasanna ? I am sure Prasanna and other great spinners can help the bunch of spinners we have. At the moment Mr Bhajji can use a few tips PS: No bedi :nono:
Bhajji doesn't need tips, he gives tips. :winky:

I went to watch a few Big Bash Games LIVE and I can tell you its a crap tournament. Its not as good as people think it is. His performance in Big Bash shouldn't be used as an indicator of future test bowler.
Agreed that a T20 performance means zilch if you are looking for a potential test player, be it a bowler or batsman, but if he has started promisingly in the shield cricket, as Kim Hughes said, then this fellow is worth keeping an eye on. How I wish we have an A tour to Australia like we had the top end tour 5 years back. It'll give a good opportunity of both the countries to assess their future players which they'll be needing badly very shortly!

Krejza has got a big heart, he does toss it up, and is brave enough to toss it up to someone like Virender Sehwag, well settled.In the warm up game, the slower trajectory deceived Veeu, and he was too early on the stroke.Having said that, he does bowl some "hit me" balls, and is not all that consistent with his line and length.

Massive respect to Lyon. Doesn't have a gazillion variations, not the most talented tweaker but got a great heart and massive trier. Always in the thick of things, bowling or fielding. Has already done more than what Asswin could do in entire series against RSA. Most improved spinner by a mile.:hatsoff:

Very good spinner. Such a hard worker. He doesn't turn the ball massively, nor is he extremely versatile. But boy he can play, hopefully he continues to improve.

403 wickets in 101 tests at avg of 32.

 

He has been reliable performer for long time and might end up with 550 wickets for Aus. 

he hardly performs on overseas tours- i've never heard him run through sides in SC tours or even Eng/SA- most of his wickets seem to be in Australia.

 

Someone correct me if i am wrong

I have heard those exact words about Steve Smith who looks like a pig, bowls like Mohammed Azharuddin and bats like Zaheer Khan. Talk less and show more
