Awful era for wrist spin! Will we ever see a class wrist spiner again?

Bishoo always looked the most promising of the modern 'crop' but maybe has encountered the anticipated problems. Let's hope he bounces back. Tahir is a joke. All he has done in international cricket is take wickets of 9, 10 and jack with his wrong'un and celebrate like he has secured world peace.
I still think Bishoo can come good.

chawla has a good googly...but he isnt anything special...and bowls those half trackers occasionaly...better then tahir though..I thought Tahir was a missed opportunity that pakistan could have taken an advantage off...now I know y he wasn't selected ever lol

We need to look past Mishra and Chawla...They are done and dusted. There is nothing else?? There was tall Leggie in Mumbai team?? or was it Delhi??

Tahir is the worst spinner that has happened to cricket, the guy looks stupid, acts stupid and his celebration, less we talk the better. I am eaglery waiting for South Africa tour of India, i hope saffers bring him along for some :whack:

India have one in Murugan Ashwin (still early days) - http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/528067.html Bradd Hogg and Beau Casson were pretty decent. The latter had to give up his career due to health issues even after he bowled so well against the West Indies.
Agree about Murugan. he looked promising but raw. Tamilnadu need make him in a better bowler. I am sure their coach will be working on him in the nets.

The plight of the wrist spinner has reached new low. Only one team some times picks a wrist spinner(leg spinner if right hander) and thats SA. And that leg spinner is Tahir and he is average. Seems to be dieing art. World needs a great wrist spinner to emerge

Wrist spinners are endangered species. Finger spinners can dart the ball, and with the batsman going berserk in extended powerplays, with shorter boundaries, big bats, restricted fielders outside the inner ring, there is very little for a bowler to flight the ball and beat him in the flight. We don't have too many wrist spinners these days, Tahir, Mishra, Bishoo, Steve Smith, Rahul Sharma are the few I can think of. :((

legspinners shouldn't play t20s, simple as that. just as how we wouldn't want m vijay to play t20s and mess up his test form. India: rahul sharma, is karan sharma a leggie? Mishra could be good but needs to have a rope and be more disciplined and lose weight. positive of being benched is that u can get off the bench and work on fitness. Chawla is FINISHED, don't want him. Afridi to me is a good legspinner. Takes wickets, deceives batsmen. Say what u want about him, his bowling is class.

Scott Borthwick is certainly promising. He needs to play every test for England from now on.
hes a batting AR.bowling looks poor

Yasir Shah looking good so far ... Has produced some rippers like the one that got the well set Warner in the firts innings along with the sliders that trapped Clarke yesterday. Lets see if he can finish things off on day 5.

Amen....Bishoo was decent and had ingredients to become better.....like most, he is lost into oblivion
