In a prudent mood, Pakistan’s Sohail Tanvir decided to defect from the dark side and become a spinner.Usually, as an “alright” left-arm fast-medium pacer, he opens the bowling and concedes lots of runs. But as a spinner, he’s dynamite. (Unfortunately, he didn’t bowl Chinamen, otherwise I would have given birth on the spot.)
Briefing escaping ennui at work, I have analysed his bowling stats:
Bowling boring fast: 21-3-99-1
Bowling amazing spin: 3-0-19-0
If they are not incredible figures, I don’t know what are. Just look at his mighty success as a twirler. This is proof that all bowlers should specialise in spin immediately.
Sadly, for the cricket community, Sohail turned back to the dark side to take the new ball as a quick. Frankly, he got battered once when he attempted pace once again. A lesson to us all.
