You guys think Beau Casson has a future?

Question

FOR THOSE WHO DON"T KNOW WHO HE IS:

he is the replacement spinner for Stuart MacGill, and is said to be the spin future for Australia. I personally think he isn't going to be able to have a chance, but I want to know what you guys think.

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

If he can get to the new standard that Shane Warne set for wrist-spinners (no bad balls EVER), then he'll make it. Otherwise he'll be unfairly compared to Warne and he won't get over that.

People forget that before Warne, wrist-spinners used to go at 4-6 runs per over on good pitches (a major reason that wrist-spin declined outside of the sub-continent). Stuart McGill has often been unfairly criticised for just that, and Casson is likely to suffer the same fate. I don't think that the Aussies have a good enough specialist spinner to play at the moment; they'd be better off with four specialist seamers and Symonds & Clarke taking care of the spin bowling when needed.

Answer 3

The India tour could either make him or break him. His temperament will be on test.

Answer 4

havent  seen him bowl yet, but if he has been selected to replace McGill then I think he must have something going for him

Answer 5

Don't see why not.They all had to start somewhere.
