I think we've all learned to wait and see whether we get him at his best, or perhaps not, but there aren't many better spinners out there on paper. He is prone to bowling no balls based on his spell at Notts last year, so perhaps the groundsman should deprive the tracks of water but compensate by making the creases a little thicker perhaps?Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-8776303959102931472016-10-25T12:15:44.341+01:002016-10-25T12:15:44.341+01:00Also I am pretty certain Barnett has been on recor...Also I am pretty certain Barnett has been on record as saying he wants a seaming all-rounder for the 50 over stuff as he thinks with it being early that will be the way to go with the pitches. We shall see. So I am expecting an overseas for early championship cover. And one for the 50 over stuff. Just reading into what he said. Then again plans might change. Exciting times though.
