That's Ali's good for test cricket isn't he? Where are all the critics now? Edited by Stirlingsays (05 Aug 2019 4.19pm)

England needed spin option so they worked on his bowling which became adequate but not great. He lost all form with the bat though and now is a poor spinner who can bat a bit sometimes. We may as well choose an out and out spinner now.

Yep, I thought Ali was going to be a stand in before they went and found the actual best spinner in England....instead England did the 'he's mates with the captain, we won't drop him' routine.

I can't be too detrimental about Ali as I support Worcestershire. I'm just not sure if there are many spinners out there playing the county game. I can't think of any Giles/ Tufnell/ Swann types currently. But I do not necessarily follow much other than Internationals and Worcs.
