Did you see the display? The full repertoire,flippers, nuff googlies, flight, big leg breaks etc...etc..
In reply to Raggs
Still got licked in test cricket.
Having variations is not a guarantee to success.

In reply to Raggs
is there a more skilled leggie than Tahir today?
In reply to cricketmygame
Yasir Shah is IMO the most skilled leggie in the world. I also think that if a leggie relies more on his googly, he is more suited to limited overs cricket. This is why you can see that Tahir, Badree, etc are all effective in LO cricket. Tahir has gotten licks in test cricket. The other leggie that debuted also relies more on his googly than Yasir, he got licked in the tests, but was successful in the LO matches.
Yasir Shah does bowl his googly, but he doesn't overdo it at all. Most of his wickets come from clever changes of pace, flight, etc. Bishoo is inferior to Yasir in this regard too, but the way people harp that bowling a googly will instantly make Bishoo successful is hogwash IMO.
Bishoo is short and he doesn't have the jump right before delivery to be able to land it consistently..That's why you will see the short balls or half volleys..Stuart MacGill struggled with it..
Bishoo lacks the shoulder power of Warne.
There are a few areas he can work on..
Someone like Mushtaq Ahmed can help him..Bishoo has to take that initiative.
In reply to Khaga
Also little to no run up, so he uses more shoulder, and as you said he lacks the shoulder power of Warne.
Most leggies in international cricket come off some sort of run - Badree, Tahir, Yasir, Mishra, et al.
In reply to CricketLuva4
You should watch Qadir's runup..there are YouTube clips..Mushtaq Ahmed had similar runup and extra rotation of the arm to impart the momentum..Leg spin is not easy..

100%

Badree is a flat rass boring "limited overs" Trini joker..lets not contaminate the list of leggies with his name..

Kumble was tall and had good runup..that made him accurate with his line..Chandrasekhar had a good run up too and the deformity in the arm (due to Polio) made it more exciting.
It's fair to say Bishoo has somewhat stagnated.It's unfortunate because of the ignorant WI climate is always out to get spinners out of the system quickly..Fluke test wins like yesterday's will only strengthen the bias..
In reply to Khaga
Bishoo is Bishoo. He is not a world beater and probably won't ever be. He is still arguably our best spinner available.
Kumble's height and high arm action also allowed him to generate good bounce, a serious threat. Bishoo is very round arm, negating bounce but giving him some skiddyness (not as effective of a weapon IMO).
Tahir is one of the better leggies around today
In reply to Raggs
Yes I. Excellent.
Rums and rumout saw this I hope and can now compare and contrast..
Gafo big up a fariner but lambast your own. Typican Wondian mentality.
Buddy of mine from GT Venkersammy (spelling) bowled serious leg breaks.
and Raggs has no fcuking clue about leg spin or spin..
In reply to Khaga
Do who tink Raggs does not understand poetry or does not know the fabric called silk?
This place have lots of leg spinning experts: finger and wrist: I wonder if anyone of these experts ever tried their craft?????
