Patrick over at the Times didn't seem to know much about the Young and the restless Beau Casson.
Whilst not being an expert on him, I do know a few snippets.
I personally think you should read my rather angry rant about his selection in the first place.
But, this does actually mention a bit more about him.
I'm not an expert On Beau Cassonology, but let me try.
Casson strode on the scene in Western Australia and Brad Hogg was shoved aside. He took wickets in big bags, but at other times struggled on a hostile home pitch at the Waca.
So he did what quite a few good young spinners do, he came to New South Wales, where a baggy green is given in a secret ceremony.
There he did pretty much nothing for a couple of years, as he fought for a spot with MacGill and Hauritz.
Finally NSWales decided that Hauritz was no good and Casson started play to play as a bowling all rounder consistently this season.
The first half of the year he took very few wickets, batted like a cockroach with pads on, and I thought this might be the last we saw of him for a while as a 19 year old leg spinner was being groomed by New South Wales.
Casson obviously noticed as well, and he started taking big bags of wickets again. Then he started making runs.
This cultivated with him slaughtering Victoria with bat and ball in the shield final, the little rat bastard.
He spins it, not Warney or MacGill like, but more than Hogg. He looks like a confidence bowler to me, and has a good googly.
McGain is by far the better bowler right now, but Casson is the better package.www.cricketwithballs.com
