Weren't there a few sub contintent wrist spinners who bowled at that age? Anybody remember?

I reckon you're thinking of Bob Holland.

No though I know of Holland. Name an Indian spinner who was pretty senior at least. He was famous.
I will check out the two names I remember and their age.

Padmakar Shivalkar?

They're both crocked Sad

from foxsports.com.au

"A groin strain suffered in the outfield means Casson bowled only one over on day one, while McGain's impressive return of three for 51 was soured by a shoulder strain in his right bowling arm.

The pair did not bowl early in the second day. "

He made the age criteria Smile

I must have been thinking Bishen Bedi and he was near that age but left arm orthodox as you know.
McGain's age must not be a worry possibly because of Holland and the huge number of Kerry O'Keefe's currently around.

True. And old, and not the response PB was after.

Aussie A 2/24 already. Hughes out for 1, Voges out for a duck.

Abdul Qadir was the bowler I was thinking of. He is almost 53 and definetly played in 1988 but I can't find his last game so I guess he may have made 34 years as a wrist spinner.

7/111

This is the future.
Sad

At least the future Australian captain is making some runs - currently 35*.

by JKLever Thu 04 Sep 2008, 13:21

113/8

by taipan Thu 04 Sep 2008, 13:22

If it wasn't for their depth, Aus would be in serious trouble here.

by PearlJ Thu 04 Sep 2008, 14:24

Just a temporary glitch I'm sure Cool

George Bailey?! He'll be lucky to play one ODI.

Are Victoria and WA the Aussie forerunners in t20 becoming international by way of the Challenge series.
Is it bye bye ODI in the long term? Obviously they want a game to fit into a three hour or so timeslot like most games.

American Baseball must show close to 70 games a week.

Aus 'A' all out for 116 and after following on, 0/37.

by Chandan Fri 05 Sep 2008, 06:53

Aus A mifgt have got out for 116 but right now they are hammering each and every Indian bowler in the squad. This shows that there was certainly something for the bowler in this pitch on the first two days.

I'm I'm glad that the myth of Chawla and Parmar being good bowlers for longer version is being hammered into pieces.

Goel,

Any idea why Sree didn't play? Is he still not fit enough?

by SG Fri 05 Sep 2008, 07:01

Chawla hasn't done anything earthshattering in ODIs as well.

As for Sree I think he is yet to recover fully.

And hence domestic season will be so very important for each and every hopeful for Aus test series.

by SG Fri 05 Sep 2008, 07:02

I heard that RoI XI for Irani trophy will consist of regular Indian test players except for Delhi players like Sehwag, Ishant and UMB.

by Red Fri 05 Sep 2008, 07:02

Was it wise to enforce the follow-on?

by Chandan Fri 05 Sep 2008, 07:17

If Indian captain would not have done so, the stupid media here might have gone after him that after failing with bat in the 1st innings, he was being selfish to get another opportunity in this match itself.

And you might not know that your bowlers would be hammered after dismissing the opposition for just 116. And if you look at it from India's point of view, this was the only way they could have secured an outright win. So I don't blame the India captain. In fact it is good that these Indian pretenders are being exposed!

by Henry Fri 05 Sep 2008, 07:55

At 109/2 Aus are hardly starting to get away from India. They're effectively -59/2.
