I didn't realise another game was on last night. I see Sri Lanka once again set a lackluster target.

A good distraction after a disappointing loss.

Our 'A's pipped at the post by the Lankans. Head with a typical Head ton will now play in the first four day match rather than an ODI for the top side. Head's forte is clearly white ball. Odd logic from the CA selector on tour.

I wonder if the St George Illawarra selection committee is mentoring the cricket selectors? A selection policy that reinforces players weaknesses while denying them their strengths.Our As pipped at the post by the Lankans.

The way the NRL season is going, this may turn out to be the most popular thread.

Well guys the first of the red ball matches for this tour is on today with an unofficial Test between Aussie A and Sri Lanka A starting at 2 pm AEST. Interesting to see the selectors X1 now ranks have been depleted with the losses of Cameron Green and Scott Boland. I expect the Lankans will be breathing easier given our mostly spin attack.
A probable X1.

To be honest, I don't really share your enthusiasm for Test Cricket. Please keep us updated. I probably won't seek out the info myself. having said that, I thought spinners were supposed to all the rage on wickets in the Subcontinent. Why would Sri Lanka be breathing easier?

Are there any part-time spinners in the team? Of that team I only know:
- Travis Head
- Matt Renshaw
- Marcus Harris

Kuhnemann and Murphy are specialist spinners.

Either of them leg spinners?

What's the difference between off-spinners and leg-spinners? Is it just that they spin the ball in the opposite direction?

I hoped
RedVHeartbeat would take that one but as he let it go through to the keeper, let me try.Spin it the other way and hsve more tricks up their sleeves than leg spinners.
Don't quote me on that. I might be wrong.

What "tricks"?I hoped

Remiss of me not to reply earlier. Pleased there is some interest now so I will reply sooner from now on.I hoped

Actually
Morgan it is the leg spinners that have all the tricks. Off sinners only spin it the one way.. into the stumps. whereas leg spinners spin it both ways.. that is, away from the stumps and into the stumps.The latter delivery is called a wrong one or wrong'n as it spins in the opposite direction to the stock leg spinner. You have heard of Shane Warne no doubt.. he was the master of leg spin.. also bowled variations such as the flipper and toppie.

That's interesting. No wonder they are in such demand. I know you aren't addressing me but of course I've heard of Shane Warne. Hasn't everyone?Remiss of me that I did not reply earlier. Pleased there is some interest now so I will reply sooner from now on.

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know about spinning both ways and thought the wrong n was when they put top spin on the ball so it skids through faster.Remiss of me that I did not reply earlier. Pleased there is some interest now so I will reply sooner from now on.

That is the flipper. Not top spin but back spin. Warne was a master at that delivery. Top spinner does not spin and bounces more. Warne almost destroyed careers with his confusing and clever variations.
