The Independent's Stephen Brenkley interviews Scott Borthwick, England's latest attempt at finding their own Shane Warne.
"I played club cricket with my dad and I was never big enough to bowl fast so I just thought I'd try to spin it. I suppose I could have bowled finger spin, but it was just watching Shane Warne on television, and trying to spin it like him. I grew through the ranks at Durham, joined the academy and it's gone from there."
