Why persist with Breese when hes getting smashed when we have SO many bowling options???

Collingwoods captaincy is poor imho, seen that time & time again this season.

He's not captain today. And the way he's turned the club's fortunes around in the last 12 months, I don't think anyone can criticise his captaincy.
 
Smith coming on here is proof that borthwick needs to move on if he's going to become a decent spin bowler.

edit:great jinx by mesel mind ;-)
 
Borthwick is absolutely terrible like. Played against him at junior levels for many years and was never impressed by his bowling, was gobsmacked when he appeared on the scene as a leg spinner. He'll never make a long term career out of it in my opinion.

He's bowled more overs than any other spinner. Can you understand plain English?

I appreciate that but it has fuck all to do with what I said - having bowled two or three overs less than his allocation, Pringle has been woefully underused imho.

Breese, Stokes & Borthwick got a pounding by comparison yet Pringle wasnt bowled until over 30.

Shit shit captaincy.

100 1st class wickets at an average of 30. Not absolutely terrible and he also plays on a fairly unresponsive spinning ground. He bowls wicket taking balls but also a lot of hittable balls. Par for the course for a young leg spinner. I faced him once at senior level and he bowled very well. Excellent drift, bit of spin and very attacking.
