Amit Jaggernauth can bowl off spin.
To say he is 12,000 times more talented than Rawl Lewis, is unfair, and probably true.
He bowls off spin the way it used to be bowled, with flight, and a straightish arm.
He owns a doosra, which is pretty cool.
I wish I had one, I'd keep it in a jar.
Plus he has a name made for newspapers, and more importantly, blogs.
His first class record is better than any of his younger Windian peers.
And last but not least, he does spin the ball.
Being that West Indians don't want a spinner in their side, he may not last.
But he reminds me off Pat Symcox or Tim May in the way he attacks with big loopy off spinners, rather than darts.
If he was a basketball player they'd say, the boy has serious ups.
If he was a jazz musician they'd say look how high he is.
If he was a bird, he could fly away, like a bird.
King Probot M Hussey was struggling with him for a while, before he edged one to a skipping Dwayne Bravo at slip.
They have already told him to be patient, and at times he got picked off bowling the quicker ones, but I like him.
By the end of this tour he may end up in the players we like section.
Which, as all international players know, is the pinnacle of world cricket.
I will be watching him, and his potential Ben Affleck bouffant, quite closely in this series.www.cricketwithballs.com
Now with new proper english lady blogger.
