There's plenty of talk currently about Rashid playing Test matches (I think he's too inexperienced at the moment but a good future prospect). Batty and Swann are also mentioned and there's a promising talent at Durham, Scotty Borthwick. Spooky how similar his action is to Shane Warne. Same run up, took 3 wickets on debut in the Twenty20 and is only 18!
I dream of the day, of watching England with a wrist spinner and a finger spinner tearing apart the opposition and perhaps I won't have to dream for too long.
Will we soon see the day, when the ECB have the guts to give Monty a spinning partner? Someone who is first and foremost a spinner who enters the team whether their batting is good enough or not.
Do you think any of the players mentioned (or any others) are actually good enough to play in Tests? Not necessarily right now, but some time in the near future.
All comments are welcome :)
