it's not our turn

Australia has 4 spinners in its contracted players list and tours of Pakistan and India to come this year.

Lets get to know them.

Stuart “Lord Stuey” MacGill the enfant terrible of the private school leg spinning set.

Currently injured and more interested in filming odd ads about wine, but is married to a hot chick.

Has over 200 wickets, but has bad knees and is late 30’s.

May play again, but it looks doubtful, and even if he does he has worse knees than my grandma, and hers are fake.

Brad “the tongue” Hogg is the part time bowler who accidentally became a test match spinner.

Was once a postman, still bowls like one, and is a very effective weapon in one day cricket, but is just not a test cricketer.

People say he is a nice bloke, but I don’t think that is helping him take wickets in test match cricket.

His bowling average of 50 is not gonna help keep him in the big time.

Dan “sleeves” Cullen took 40 wickets one year for the redbacks.

Since then he would be lucky to have taken 40 combined.

Has played one test against Bangladesh, and has a very annoying habit of scrunching his sleeves up before every fu©king delivery.

Was relegated to 12th man for the redbacks last game.

No where near the level needed to be playing for Australia.

Cullen “the other guy” Bailey is the saviour of leg spinning.

So at the moment he is being crucified by not playing.

Right at the moment he is the highest paid club cricketer in the land.

Hasn’t been picked for first class cricket in 4 months.

Not even his father the preacher can save him now.

Obviously Cricket With Balls Own Nice Bryce McGain is not contracted, because this is his break out year.

But looking at these sorry excuses for spin bowling, he must be the best spinner in Australia right now.

Unless my plan to reanimate the corpse of Tiger Bill O’Reilly has been successful.

McGain has taken 24 wickets at 33.

Hogg 20 wickets at 40.

Cullen 11 wickets at 50.

And Bailey and Stuey aren’t really worth mentioning.

This really is the worst time for spin bowling in Australia since Terry Jenner went to jail for paying off his punting debts with someone else’s cash.

I do think Aaron Heal from wa is a handy bowler, incase the selectors are interested.www.cricketwithballs.com "the hooking & pulling specialists"
