I dont want to jump the Gun here but with the right coaching we might actually have a decent Leg Spinner playing for England in the future!  :shock:

Fingers crossed, I've never seen a class leggy bowling for England, in fact I can only think of about 5 in all the time I've been watching.....2 of those were batsmen, Atherton who got 50 wickets in county cricket his first season, got flayed around when he bowled in tests, then did his back and never bothered with it.   Years back Bob Barber was an opener, who bowlee occasional leggies and got some wickets.

  Robin Hobbs had a bit of a career in the late 60's, he was exciting as he was a Wiltshireman.

  Then Salisbury, who spun it but went for 5 an over.....and recently Chris Schofield, who just disappeared.
