India v England series

It was awful really. Bess is ok if you have 400 on the board but he bowls too much shit

Too many people judging him on some recent fortuitous figures and not on what he’s sending down.

I won’t judge him on one over but Finn and Kerrigan were deemed unbowlable in recent years - he’ll be getting in that territory soon if he doesn’t improve.
 
I think there are some spinners playing NEPL level that are better than Bess. His ability in the field and with the bat, alongside a friendly Taunton surface, have got him England caps. The dearth of quality spinners is a real problem

Not too many bowlers in the NEPL getting out the likes of Kohli And Matthews like

Not a strong argument that one really. On spinning surfaces, top level NEPL spinners would pick up a few high profile wickets. Scott Borthwick took four wickets in a Test match in Australia. There are better spinners with more control playing NEPL than him.
