Holly Colvin 101, like Monty, only better

England have a better spinner than Monty.  Bowling averages[b][/b]MatInnsBallsRunsWktsBBIBBMAveEconSR4w5w10[b]Tests[/b]36480241103/424/7824.103.0148.0000[b]ODIs[/b]27251350768384/204/2020.213.4135.5100[b]T20Is[/b]661209172/172/1713.004.5517.1000
And she is white. 

Obviously the fact she is white, and she is a she, rules out 

Adil Rashid, in at least one way.


Holly Colvin is her name, and she is also a left arm orthodox bowler.


She is about 2 foot tall, and her nickname is Monkey.


All good things.


From a spinners view, she has great flight, very good control, and she clearly tries to bowl more than one kind of delivery for 60 overs straight.


She does get a bit of spin, and she is a wicket taking machine at one day level.


Her bowling is very much in the old school finger spinner way, of bowling very slow, and let the drift and flight tempt the batswoman to a slow death.


Also she wears a similar head band to Nathan Bracken.


That is true, and not a piss take.


Yes I was watching women’s cricket.


First time ever.


And I enjoyed it.

India has a top class batswoman (I did notice they called them batters a lot) called Mithali Raj.


She is pure class, not like Partiv Patel.


A lazy and shocking runner between wickets, but boy can she wield the bat.


Dare I say it, very stylish in the Greg Chappell mode.


Women’s cricket isn’t bad at all.


True story.
