CC :: Durham v Nottinghamshire


The Rat said:
He was gettint better for Durham, he was excellent in the t20 and was our main spinner in all formats

All while he had some great seasons at number 3

Surrey did not rate his bowling, he hardly bowled and it’s clearly had an impact

I understand moving to London would have been good crack and a good expericne but in a cricketing since it set him back a long way

I really want him to focus on his bowling it’s difficult when you are captain and top order, @smoker might have a point moving down order

I rate him is a decent bowler though, or I did when he was here, he’d have to be prepared to work very hard to do so

Feels to me like it’s not part of the plans though

I suppose that's where we differ. I don't think that a leggie in T20 should be compared with other formats. Leggies everywhere are much more effective and valuable in T20 more than they are in FC cricket. And as I have said previously I think his stint at Surrey helped his bowling but has hurt his batting (which to me is his most valuable suit).

I also wonder, without much evidence to support it, if his batting has suffered because he's trying to develop his game to suit T20 and so has gained T20 skills at the expense of his FC.
