DEVENDRA SET TO WORK ON GOOGLIES - ESPN

Devendra Bishoo is the Man of the Series. He says: "Very happy, especially after the poor show in England. This second Test the pitch was slower than the earlier one. When ball got older, it got further slow. Got tough, and not spinning as much either. I'm working a lot on my variations, my googlies, more now. Pretty happy with the series and looking forward to New Zealand."

Correct, but still he is aware and has admitted to others' concerns and observations......

That's all I ask of you.

Success does not come easy. And as the great jazz pianist Bill Evans would say: "I believe in things that are developed through hard work..."

No one said it would be easy...but you can't throw your hands in the air and surrender meekly without trying.

Btw, congrats on your recent achievements.

De Courtesy.

Lance Gibbs say he wanted to be a leg spinner but could not bowl the googly so he settled to be an off spinner

In there is any truth to the above, at least Lance had the awareness that if he had to become a leg spinner of class he would need a googly as part of his arsenal.

I'm not sure a googly is absolutely necessary to be an effective leg spinner. Shane Warne took a whole lot of wickets in Test cricket without bothering too many batsmen with the googly.

Bring back Rawle e made them bawl googly and all
