Wrist spinners have proven very effective all summer. You pick the best people for the job, regardless of age. Have seen alot of him in the big bash very impressive.

However, i dont think we will be effective in the T20 WC later this year, only because it is on the dust pans in SL. Pakistan will win that tournament. They have 2 of the best 3 T20 bowlers in the world in Afrid andHafeez. They also have Ajmal who gives left handers absolute fits...If they arent going to fix the results they should win it......

Legend Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 87422 Location: United States	#9 Posted: 1/23/2012 5:47:14 AM I just went through the past 3 years Big Bash performances by Bailey and he has scored ONE half century during that span!!! And this for a guy who sans this season has been consistently batting at 3 or 4 for Tassie Is this some kind of joke?

Very good selection, has been the standout spinner of this Big Bash this season and all this when playing half his games on the least conjuicive pitch for spin in the country.

NZ are possibly the worst of all the Test playing nations. I would play Hogg (or another quality wrist spinner with a decent googly) every single time in a game vs NZ.
