You can do both at once. We have the capability.

but me muts weight a lot

I agree with KK. I never got into Cricket starting from school. It's a poor excuse for a sport.

Good news for English cricket!

Adil Rashid has been called up to the England A squad to tour Bangladesh. This 18 year old lad is a Yorkshire leg spinner who broke into the first team towards the end of last season.
I think he could be the answer to our spin problems in this country if his talent is properly nurtured.

Here's his profile:

He can bat a bit too, 114 against India U19 plus 8 for 157 in the same match.
6 wickets on debut against Warwickshire.

He just needs to add a bit more variation to his bowling but there's plaenty of time for that. He's got 2 years ahead of him to perfect a sharp turning perfectly pitched leg spinner, then he can work on variations.

There are a lot of very good young players around at the moment, Bell, Cook, S. Broad, Rashid.

In school cricket was for the fat lads who couldn't play footy.

And talk about boring..............

Rashid is going to be a class player too.

[thesilverfoxlfc]

They are away from home for to long you couldnt but get sick of been away from family and become sick of playing cricket

[kopdan]

Believe that when I see it. They said the same about Ian Salisbury

Totally different class. salisbury had no consistency whatsoever basically because he was a medium pacer who decided late in his development that he was a poor medium pacer who could turn his wrist over. So he took up leg spin.
He was never the real deal.
Rashid RIPS it across the wicket. He has so much potential and in the right hands he will be a world class spinner. The sooner he gets a central contract the better for England. I'm not sure I trust Yorkshire with his development.
You will see it Dan

two words

Chris Schofield

but I will certainly look out for him. Shame he doesnt play for Hampshire really.

[Red Chilli]

It is a shame indeed. Maybe with Warney retiring England should sign him up as a bowling coach

I forcast he will be playing for England before the next Ashes Test

[kopdan]

I doubt Australia would allow it.

[Red Chilli]

I doubt Australia would allow it.

Well they couldn't stop him if he wanted to but there's no money on earth that could tempt Warne to help England IMO

The good thing about Adil being at Yorkshire is he'll get plenty of bowling in. Their squad is decimated for the coming season. Hopefully he'll stay injury free.
