Few cricket coaches in this country know anything about finger spin let alone the mysteries of wrist spin as practised by the likes of Murali and Shane Warne. The touchstone of knowledge is the ability to teach. If the knowledge of spin bowling is absent in our coaches who will impart it to the young?
I cannot agree with the modern tendency to crowd our schools’ cricket fixtures with so much limited over cricket.
Ray White, former UCB president, analyses the reasons why spin bowling is a dying art in South Africa.
