@@JarrodKimberYT Yes which are expected, maybe more England A tours to Asia to bridge the gap. Skills of using the feet are a huge importance for consistently playing spin. Maybe playing against the Asian teams will help both batters and spinners to gain experience!
What annoys me is up until recently spinning pitches were evil but it was okay to produces pitches on which the dobbers like Darren Stevens could be ultra effective. Not knocking Darren at all, but if you put him on Aussie pitches he'd get smashed to kingdom come.
Graeme Swann had the advantage of being picked too young then discarded by Duncan Fletcher. When he was recalled, he had a lot of county experience at both Northants and Notts, both good spinning counties at the time. Plus he really gave the ball a big rip.
@@jonathanjaffa4875 I think this is overlooked by people - Swann got big turn regularly, more than any other SENA fingerspinner I have seen. I heard in an interview that he would grip the ball with the second knuckle of his index finger on the seam (as opposed to the first), which gave a much tighter grip and meant he imparted a lot more force on the ball than a traditional offspin grip. And from simply observing his action, I suspect he also had some extra elbow rotation in his action to which added revs - and would also explain his elbow injuries.
Thanks Jarrod, very interesting. Based on what you said, Stuart Broad and Jofra Archer's ability to repeatedly dismiss David Warner cheaply had a clear benefactor in the 2019 Ashes. They were removing the batsman most likely to cause Jack Leach problems. Warner didn't face a ball of spin in that series, not even at Headingley.
This is the exact amount of analysis I want every time there's a question on the importance of spinners. Would love to hear your analysis on the role of seamers on spinning pitch
And after all this hard work, there is Virender Sehwag, who doesn't even consider finger spinners as bowlers. Imagine, the guy treats finger spinners as dummy bowlers😂
dude sehwag would have taken all the spinners in the game for cleaners, sehwag treated spinners like trash, he had no respect for them, honestly spinners hated bowling him and were scared bowling.
@@rupeshkaushal1878 what about murli??? I heard in one of his interviews that murli really bothered him till about 08'. Only after that he found a way to play him out It would've been interesting how sehwag would've fared against prime warne or shaqlin
@@c.augustedupin8860 no man i dont think any spinnee bothered him, may be wen he was new in indian team someone may have but as long as i remember him as far as i can look back he took everyone for cleaners, i remember wen ajantha mendis was new every batsman struggled against him of all teams, sehwag scored 200 in a test match and treated him like school boy, as for warne, warne struggled against indian batters, vvs, laxman, sachin, fab 4 played him very well sehwag would have too.
@@rupeshkaushal1878 murli???...and I am not talking about any run of the mill bowler but the legendary murli himself , shaqlin troubled India, despite India being reputed to be excellent players of the spin.
Guess Bess' luck did run out ! Plus your analysis about his full tosses is bang on - he didn't drop any chance to add more sample data to your analysis when he bowled in the fourth test :D

Jarrod...I still remember your article on Pakistan when they won the Champions Trophy in 2016. Best Iv ever read. Did'nt know you had a RUclips channel and will be sure to subscribe.
there are some good options coming through now with rehan ahmed - the obvious one - and also will jacks ,better known for his batting, but also a constantly improving off spinner
Jarrod, can you make a video on the state of cricket in other countries too? It’s doing amazing in India, I love it. But I don’t want it to become like Baseball , where American teams play amongst themselves and call the winner the “World champion” 😂, because hardly any other country plays baseball at that level.
Well done Jarrod. Another very good observation about MacGill. All over the internet I hear how MacGill was a better spinner than Warne or even how unlucky MacGill was which makes me roll my eyes. MacGill and Mushtaq Ahmed were leggies with a lot of skill but who bowled the one release ball (boundary ball) almost every over (Tahir was even worse). MacGill averaged 50+ vs both India and SL (the two good teams vs spin; Pak had Younis Khan, Inzi and Md. Yousuf who were terrific vs spin but the rest were bad vs spin) but more importantly whereas Warne went at 3 an over, MacGill went at 3.6 an over vs India against good players of spin. MacGill played on favorable pitches vs teams which played spin badly to have such a good record. He was not as good as most casual fans think he was.
Macgill is probably only said to have spun it more than warne because he deliberately tried to turn it big every ball and had less variation. Not to say they weren't equal in that department- but Macgill almost definitely couldnt get more maximum turn than Warne
@@lukeallison3713 Warne was a big Turner of the ball in the first part of his career but after surgery on his shoulder he lost the ability to turn the ball as much and he also lost his deadly flipper. He became a more subtle bowler afterwards. McGill was less crafty but was a huge spinner and he had a wrong'n which Warne didn't.
@@almac9203 2005 ashes says otherwise. It might have been his body too but he wasn't trying to bowl a wonder ball every ball unlike McGill because the variation worked. When he did, its hard to see anybody turning at as much as Warne
@@lukeallison3713 I watched tons of Warne and he didn't turn the ball as much as McGill. He relied on accuracy and subtle variations rather than big turn and his previously devastating flipper. He definitely changed his style after his shoulder problems. I used to be a leggie myself so I know what he was doing and I know what McGill was doing. Warne was my idol growing up and I watched tons of his bowling. Warne was the GOAT but McGill definitely turned it more.
I like the fact that Bess doesnt seem scared at a young age to put a little flight on his off breaks. Too many younger spinners end up darting it in. If I were selecting the side right now I would look at the pitch. If its Trent Bridge you might not even need the spinner. Play Bess. Hes learning and can bat a bit. If its going to be a 5 days test. Go Leach.
Cold weather doesnt allow spinner to grip the ball. Swann earned lot of respect from Indian spin Legend Prasanna. I'm surprised why it doesn't produce leg spinner.Your content is very good.
There's a huge lack of English spinners full-stop. Let's look at which spinners are even realistic to pick. I'd say they have to meet the following criteria: 1. 100 or more first-class wickets at under 40 OR 2. 50 or more first-class wickets at under 30 AND 3. Under the age of 36 (to avoid Gareth Batty) That doesn't leave many sensible spinners: - Moeen Ali - Dom Bess - Scott Borthwick (is now a batsman who barely bowls) - Danny Briggs - Liam Dawson (is unavailable for current tour - injured) - Simon Kerrigan (probably still getting counselling for Test-related trauma) - Jack Leach - Matt Parkinson - Adil Rashid (is all but retired from first-class cricket) - Amar Virdi So England have basically taken every sensible spinner with them on this trip to India and Sri Lanka, with the exception of Danny Briggs. There's no quick fix available, unless they were to take a massive gamble on youth with someone like Dan Moriarty
Australia has exactly the same issue - the pitches do not suit spin. At all. And they have gotten flatter. Since the 1960s with Benaud, we've had very, very few spinners of genuinely good test quality. Lyon, MacGill, Mallett and Warne are obvious - but who else? O'Keefe, Terry Jenner, Bob Holland and Tim May all retired with test averages well into the 30s. Certainly, the cupboard looks pretty bare after Lyon departs, too.
Slightly controversial opinion! Wouldnt you say Swann in some ways was similar to SCG MacGill? 1) Played all of his cricket at the peak of his career and was disposed when he wasnt needed again 2) English pitches from 2008-2013 were dry pitches that all helped spin and he used those conditions well 3) In the two tours where the pitch wasnt assisting spin Aus 2010 and 2013 he got creamed 4) Played all the tours of the subcontinent in that period and made merry. 5) South African pitches too at the time also assisted spin. Shakib on the previous tour took 11 wickets @20. 6) So basically if you take out all the matches in Swanns career where conditions weren't in his favour he was ordinary too.
From an age perspective yes. Had he been picked when he was young it wouldn’t have worked probably. But he had to play every test. Even if you say the home wickets were dry, he still knew no matter what he was bowling. SCG never had that.
I haven't watch the video yet (about to).. but my assumption to this point is that the English pitches like all west/ Australian pitches are suited for pace. Also the social pressure and glamour of a fast bowler heavy weighed against spin which is ironic considering spin bowlers usually win matches and end up with all time high statistics. Also spinners tend to be more patient and strategic bowlers which is a lost quality in the morderna era. Wonder if you agree?
Interesting stuff-would you say that England would be best playing 4 quicks (Anderson/Broad, Archer, Stone/Wood, Woakes/Curran) and Stokes in non-spinning conditions, and then use Root as the spin option? Or blood in someone young like Virdi?
I think Bess can develop, and Leach is too good at what he does to discard. Moeen is still a match winning cricketer. I don't think the answer is playing less spinners, I think it's finding a way to develop the spinners you have Virdi/Parkinson and the current lot. I don't think talent is the problem.
Deadpool would absolutely be a leggie who smashes it. Also he'd flight the ball up shamelessly and drift it slightly down leg half the time, hoping for the magic ball. And he'd probably get it to work.
Manners: Do you remember a couple of days ago when Jarrod Kimber called Axar Patel a 'sugar-free Ravi Jadeja'? Jarrod: there is no problem with saying you are not as good as one of the best players in the world (which I agree with) Matt Prior: Kimber, I've watched you play cricket and I am astonished by the level of disrespect you give international cricketers [we also hear Gareth Batty laughing in the background] -> However Matt Prior forgets how once, he got out quite cheaply in a game, and in the end it was Gareth Batty and Jarrod who got a partnership and got the team back on track.... Another side note, watch this video to see why Ravi Jadeja is so good.... ruclips.net/video/SARpU3N-pb0/видео.html
Jarrod, you missed a very important aspect Swann (and Monty who too was world class though not as good as Swann IMO). Both Swann and Monty grew up playing FC (and 2nd XI) Cricket in Northamptonshire (before Swann left for Nottinghamshire) on pitches that used to turn quite a bit. It's very difficult to develop as a spinner (as you have rightly mentioned) on pitches that don't even turn on 4th day of a FC Game. E.g. How much has Ashton Agar (who plays for WA) developed as a red ball spinner since 2013?
@@JarrodKimberYT By the way Jarrod, do you know that between 2012 to about 2016-2017 most Indian Ranji Trophy pitches were basically golf courses (like the ones NZ dish out to sub-continent teams and WI when they visit NZ) in the hope that domestic Indian batsmen learnt to play seaming conditions better (the knee-jerk response after losing 4-0 in Aus and in Eng). As a result of it at least four things happened : 1. Young Indian batsmen became very poor players of spin 2. Very few quality spinners emerged. 3. Medium pacers who weren't good enough for International Cricket like Ashok Dinda, Vinay Kumar, Pankaj Singh and Jaydev Unadkat were dominating the Ranji Trophy charts. 4. Most Indian wickets swung for only first session and few swung and seamed throughout. The ones which swung for only 1 session became batting paradises since as a result of grass they did not spin even on 4th day. The ones which seamed and swung throughout (basically those of North India) had FC games getting over in 2-2.5 days. The whole BCCI idea failed completely.
There's actually a lot of promising spinners on the County circuit. Virdi and Moriarty at Surrey - Patterson White at Notts, lancashire blooded two very good looking spinners last year too (Morley and Hartley). Would love to see these spinners go to a 'spin' camp in India or other subcontinent country and learn the art of bowling spin on all types of surface. Unfortunately they seem to get very little match practice in England. How many times do you see the spinner come on for the obligatory over before lunch and then forgotten about until the captain realises he's behind the over rate? Lancashire bowled Liam Livingstone before they even considered their front line spinner in one game. That sends out an awful message to your spinners imo.
Parallel universe England would be using Simon Harmer having qualified as English, would have been great to see him bowl out there. Don't have that escape route anymore , great analysis on what we do have
Ray Illingworth was a strong proponent for uncovered pitches. His argument was that batsmen would improve their technique against sharp turn and bounce whereas the bowlers would learn to bowl a good line and length (ball after ball) to exploit the vagaries of the uncovered pitch. I'm inclined to agree with him.
@@JarrodKimberYT I think uncovered pitches would lead to very quick games - which the county sides would be very unpleased with!! Ray was always quick to point out that it was by being brought up on uncovered wickets which helped him make a 'grinding' 50 against Lillee, Mallett and Inverarity on the 'infamous' Fusarium test at Headingley in 1972.
Ohh you read my comment this is real someone plz pinch me, I am so damn lucky I guess plz don't forget me sir when tou will become big star on you tube
Macgill has a better record than Warne in the test matches they played together, right? Though I'm sure a big chunk of them would have been tailend wickets.
McGill was a limited bowler. There was a reason that warne played ahead of McGill when one spinner was required because warne was better on surfaces not spinning much whereas they played McGill only when pitches were turning and they needed two spinners because all McGill did was to spin the ball big. Not clever or accurate like warne.
@@nishagovil9207McGill was good. He just happened to play at the exact same time as the great Shane Warne. If he was older or younger he would have been a great player. There just wasn't any room for two spinners on a regular basis.
You have to hope it will improve in the future. Especially now you're seeing leg spin, mystery spin become quite trendy and effective. Hopefully young kids in all countries will grow up wanting to be the next Rashid Khan or Adil Rashid etc. The main thing for english cricket to do is to encourage it. Just because we have green pitches and not dust bowls doesn't mean we cant produce good spinners. We have to get out of that mindset. A Rashid Khan could bowl on a green seamer and still take 5 wickets
I actually think Bess puts quite a lot of energy on the ball and doesn’t just drop it on a length. I feel the likes of Peter Such and spin development in England are quite orthodox in their thinking and you have to spin it as a spinner unlike cricketers like Imad Wasim. In this sense Bess has quite a lot going for him but I think it’ll take time to improve his accuracy and we won’t see him get it just right for the rest of the series. Jeetan Patel is probably the best guy for him to work with for the next couple of years. Is Amar Virdi Still on tour? I don’t know what Virdis pitch map is like but has a nice action and not sure why he’s not in serious contention.
Apart from the statistics, I believe that there are 2 major reasons why he gets so many wickets : 1. Batsmen are complacent 2. His good balls are really good, batsmen don't expect bad balls.
When I was 27, I was parking cars for a living. Now I have commentated world cups, worked for ESPN, helped a team qualify for a World Cup and so many other things. What you call not getting enough recognition is what I call more fun and respect than I thought I'd get at 27. I get to create the kinda of stuff I like, occasionally work with players directly and follow the sport I love. I was happy when 5000 read my blog, I was happy when 10k followed me on twitter and I'm happy today as one of my videos passes 100k.
There is skills in playing spin but when you give a pothole like pitch no foreign team would be able to compete unless they have 2 of the best spin bstsman and 2 best spin bowlers and England have 0 of them. The last team which won on rank turners was Aus that too with exceptional Smith and Lyon and O'Keefe spells (3/4) with decent support from other players. If you are 2 or less than 4 then you are bound to lose.
The entire Somerset story is very interesting. If there are no turning tracks at first class level how can one expect the main team to win consistently in Asia!
No, but they do prepare a lot for these series.
@@JarrodKimberYT Yes which are expected, maybe more England A tours to Asia to bridge the gap. Skills of using the feet are a huge importance for consistently playing spin. Maybe playing against the Asian teams will help both batters and spinners to gain experience!
@@JarrodKimberYT The real preparation is playing county cricket at turning Taunton when points are on the line. Match pressure is different.
@Wonder Man He's ruled himself out of red ball cricket due to a dodgy shoulder. He's sticking to white ball cricket because less stress on it
What annoys me is up until recently spinning pitches were evil but it was okay to produces pitches on which the dobbers like Darren Stevens could be ultra effective.
Not knocking Darren at all, but if you put him on Aussie pitches he'd get smashed to kingdom come.
When Vaughan said that he cannot believe that Moeen was picked ahead of Bess, I chuckled.
Could be bias

@@shounakbanerjee8904 why be hateful or fond of any whole community

Some excellent analysis - finally not looking at results, and looking into what is actually good cricket!
Graeme Swann was a very good spinner that was orthodox and found success in India by sticking to basics.
Swann still put a pretty big rip on it, but yes, his accuracy was excellent.
He was also better than these three, by a considerable distance. Which helps.
Graeme Swann had the advantage of being picked too young then discarded by Duncan Fletcher. When he was recalled, he had a lot of county experience at both Northants and Notts, both good spinning counties at the time. Plus he really gave the ball a big rip.
Bess still has potential being only 23, Graeme swann only found success when he was around 28 (?), so sticking with him could be an option

Cold weather doesnt allow spinner to grip the ball. Swann earned lot of respect from Indian spin Legend Prasanna. I'm surprised why it doesn't produce leg spinner.Your content is very good.
I have bowled in the heat of Australia and cold of England and I’ve never had a problem gripping the ball in the cold.
There's a huge lack of English spinners full-stop.
Let's look at which spinners are even realistic to pick. I'd say they have to meet the following criteria:
1. 100 or more first-class wickets at under 40 OR
2. 50 or more first-class wickets at under 30 AND
3. Under the age of 36 (to avoid Gareth Batty)
That doesn't leave many sensible spinners:
- Moeen Ali
- Dom Bess
- Scott Borthwick (is now a batsman who barely bowls)
- Danny Briggs
- Liam Dawson (is unavailable for current tour - injured)
- Simon Kerrigan (probably still getting counselling for Test-related trauma)
- Jack Leach
- Matt Parkinson
- Adil Rashid (is all but retired from first-class cricket)
- Amar Virdi
So England have basically taken every sensible spinner with them on this trip to India and Sri Lanka, with the exception of Danny Briggs. There's no quick fix available, unless they were to take a massive gamble on youth with someone like Dan Moriarty
Yeah, to fix this is a long game, not a short fix. Don't think throwing young kids in will work.
Australia has exactly the same issue - the pitches do not suit spin. At all. And they have gotten flatter.
Since the 1960s with Benaud, we've had very, very few spinners of genuinely good test quality. Lyon, MacGill, Mallett and Warne are obvious - but who else?

5) South African pitches too at the time also assisted spin. Shakib on the previous tour took 11 wickets @20.
6) So basically if you take out all the matches in Swanns career where conditions weren't in his favour he was ordinary too.
From an age perspective yes. Had he been picked when he was young it wouldn’t have worked probably. But he had to play every test. Even if you say the home wickets were dry, he still knew no matter what he was bowling. SCG never had that.
Hard to believe the legendary Jim Laker was an English spinner...
I haven't watch the video yet (about to).. but my assumption to this point is that the English pitches like all west/ Australian pitches are suited for pace. Also the social pressure and glamour of a fast bowler heavy weighed against spin which is ironic considering spin bowlers usually win matches and end up with all time high statistics. Also spinners tend to be more patient and strategic bowlers which is a lost quality in the morderna era. Wonder if you agree?
You have to be patient to be a seamer, there aren't many inaccurate spinners out there.
Interesting stuff-would you say that England would be best playing 4 quicks (Anderson/Broad, Archer, Stone/Wood, Woakes/Curran) and Stokes in non-spinning conditions, and then use Root as the spin option? Or blood in someone young like Virdi?
I think Bess can develop, and Leach is too good at what he does to discard. Moeen is still a match winning cricketer. I don't think the answer is playing less spinners, I think it's finding a way to develop the spinners you have Virdi/Parkinson and the current lot. I don't think talent is the problem.
Deadpool would absolutely be a leggie who smashes it. Also he'd flight the ball up shamelessly and drift it slightly down leg half the time, hoping for the magic ball. And he'd probably get it to work.
Manners: Do you remember a couple of days ago when Jarrod Kimber called Axar Patel a 'sugar-free Ravi Jadeja'?
Jarrod: there is no problem with saying you are not as good as one of the best players in the world (which I agree with)
Matt Prior: Kimber, I've watched you play cricket and I am astonished by the level of disrespect you give international cricketers
[we also hear Gareth Batty laughing in the background]
-> However Matt Prior forgets how once, he got out quite cheaply in a game, and in the end it was Gareth Batty and Jarrod who got a partnership and got the team back on track....
Another side note, watch this video to see why Ravi Jadeja is so good.... ruclips.net/video/SARpU3N-pb0/видео.html
England deserve to be put through “dustbowl” after “dustbowl” until they are GROUND to dust JUST for fining Somerset for spinning tracks. RIDICULOUS!
Jarrod sir could you please tell me which ground in New Zealand is most spinning ground? Is it seddon park?
McClean Park has 33%, which is the most, basin has the least at 22. Seddon is third least with 24.
Jarrod, you missed a very important aspect Swann (and Monty who too was world class though not as good as Swann IMO). Both Swann and Monty grew up playing FC (and 2nd XI) Cricket in Northamptonshire (before Swann left for Nottinghamshire) on pitches that used to turn quite a bit. It's very difficult to develop as a spinner (as you have rightly mentioned) on pitches that don't even turn on 4th day of a FC Game. E.g. How much has Ashton Agar (who plays for WA) developed as a red ball spinner since 2013?
Yeah it’s a fair point. But I may do a Swann video another time.
@@JarrodKimberYT By the way Jarrod, do you know that between 2012 to about 2016-2017 most Indian Ranji Trophy pitches were basically golf courses (like the ones NZ dish out to sub-continent teams and WI when they visit NZ) in the hope that domestic Indian batsmen learnt to play seaming conditions better (the knee-jerk response after losing 4-0 in Aus and in Eng). As a result of it at least four things happened : 1. Young Indian batsmen became very poor players of spin 2. Very few quality spinners emerged. 3. Medium pacers who weren't good enough for International Cricket like Ashok Dinda, Vinay Kumar, Pankaj Singh and Jaydev Unadkat were dominating the Ranji Trophy charts. 4. Most Indian wickets swung for only first session and few swung and seamed throughout. The ones which swung for only 1 session became batting paradises since as a result of grass they did not spin even on 4th day. The ones which seamed and swung throughout (basically those of North India) had FC games getting over in 2-2.5 days. The whole BCCI idea failed completely.
There's actually a lot of promising spinners on the County circuit. Virdi and Moriarty at Surrey - Patterson White at Notts, lancashire blooded two very good looking spinners last year too (Morley and Hartley). Would love to see these spinners go to a 'spin' camp in India or other subcontinent country and learn the art of bowling spin on all types of surface. Unfortunately they seem to get very little match practice in England. How many times do you see the spinner come on for the obligatory over before lunch and then forgotten about until the captain realises he's behind the over rate? Lancashire bowled Liam Livingstone before they even considered their front line spinner in one game. That sends out an awful message to your spinners imo.
You seem to be making this scribes by yourself. I am right, right Sir Jarrod??? (Btw mind blowing analysis, again)
I make most of this on my own and then send it off to the company looking after the channel to clean up and make better.
@@JarrodKimberYT That's stunning sir... Superb....
Parallel universe England would be using Simon Harmer having qualified as English, would have been great to see him bowl out there. Don't have that escape route anymore , great analysis on what we do have
Harmer himself is an outlier from his nation. All very weird
SENA COUNTRIES..was it harsha or someone on Twitter started it?
no idea who started it
Ray Illingworth was a strong proponent for uncovered pitches. His argument was that batsmen would improve their technique against sharp turn and bounce whereas the bowlers would learn to bowl a good line and length (ball after ball) to exploit the vagaries of the uncovered pitch. I'm inclined to agree with him.
I don't know if uncovered would help, only because it's a differnt kind of skill to bat on. But, I would ban the roller once play has started.
@@JarrodKimberYT I think uncovered pitches would lead to very quick games - which the county sides would be very unpleased with!! Ray was always quick to point out that it was by being brought up on uncovered wickets which helped him make a 'grinding' 50 against Lillee, Mallett and Inverarity on the 'infamous' Fusarium test at Headingley in 1972.
Ohh I remember you now, you were in Netflix's explained episode right???
Yup
Ohh you read my comment this is real someone plz pinch me, I am so damn lucky I guess plz don't forget me sir when tou will become big star on you tube
Macgill has a better record than Warne in the test matches they played together, right? Though I'm sure a big chunk of them would have been tailend wickets.
McGill was a limited bowler. There was a reason that warne played ahead of McGill when one spinner was required because warne was better on surfaces not spinning much whereas they played McGill only when pitches were turning and they needed two spinners because all McGill did was to spin the ball big. Not clever or accurate like warne.
@@nishagovil9207McGill was good. He just happened to play at the exact same time as the great Shane Warne. If he was older or younger he would have been a great player. There just wasn't any room for two spinners on a regular basis.
You have to hope it will improve in the future. Especially now you're seeing leg spin, mystery spin become quite trendy and effective. Hopefully young kids in all countries will grow up wanting to be the next Rashid Khan or Adil Rashid etc. The main thing for english cricket to do is to encourage it. Just because we have green pitches and not dust bowls doesn't mean we cant produce good spinners. We have to get out of that mindset. A Rashid Khan could bowl on a green seamer and still take 5 wickets
I think that is fair, the pithes play a part, but there are other things you can do too.
I actually think Bess puts quite a lot of energy on the ball and doesn’t just drop it on a length. I feel the likes of Peter Such and spin development in England are quite orthodox in their thinking and you have to spin it as a spinner unlike cricketers like Imad Wasim. In this sense Bess has quite a lot going for him but I think it’ll take time to improve his accuracy and we won’t see him get it just right for the rest of the series. Jeetan Patel is probably the best guy for him to work with for the next couple of years.
Is Amar Virdi Still on tour? I don’t know what Virdis pitch map is like but has a nice action and not sure why he’s not in serious contention.
Bess puts a little action on the ball, but I haven't seen a rev counter, it woul d be nothing like Moeen I would assume. Virdi still on tour.
Apart from the statistics, I believe that there are 2 major reasons why he gets so many wickets :
1. Batsmen are complacent
2. His good balls are really good, batsmen don't expect bad balls.
You lost me at "apart from the statistics"
Wilfred Rhodes, Hedley Verity, Jim Laker, Tony Lock, Fred Titmus, Derek Underwood, Graeme Swann...
You’ve basically picked a bunch of uncovered wicket guys, and one very fine modern day spinner.
They do!
Michael Gove and Gavin Williamson to name but two large ones.
Oh, spinners. Thought you said spanners. My bad.
Just a fan question Jarrod - How do manage to all of this hardwork day in day out despite not getting enough recognition for your job
When I was 27, I was parking cars for a living. Now I have commentated world cups, worked for ESPN, helped a team qualify for a World Cup and so many other things. What you call not getting enough recognition is what I call more fun and respect than I thought I'd get at 27. I get to create the kinda of stuff I like, occasionally work with players directly and follow the sport I love. I was happy when 5000 read my blog, I was happy when 10k followed me on twitter and I'm happy today as one of my videos passes 100k.
Keep up the hardwork mate , huge salute to your attitude
@@JarrodKimberYT I wish I can think like this wrt life
There is skills in playing spin but when you give a pothole like pitch no foreign team would be able to compete unless they have 2 of the best spin bstsman and 2 best spin bowlers and England have 0 of them. The last team which won on rank turners was Aus that too with exceptional Smith and Lyon and O'Keefe spells (3/4) with decent support from other players. If you are 2 or less than 4 then you are bound to lose.
So Ashwin is best spin batsman as well?
nathan lyon pitch map :solid state
dom bess pitch map: gas state
Hear hear for the Ben Foakes comment
Lots if left handers here in Aus. Bring him to Brisbane or to WA
good vid brother - you have a unique angle to your videos, should show your face!
Check out the last knock's, they have face
Finally Algorithm has uncovered another hidden gem of a channel.
Finally
England has the ability to produce the best deliveries by spinners but not the best spinners.
Well concluded💛😁
