The Funky Solution

[IanW]

This is kind of related to the right-arm spinner question, and to the issue that Bangladesh have a number of not-test-quality right arm bowlers.

Colin 'Funky' Miller turned himself from a not-test-quality right arm fastish bowler into a dual fastish-medium/offspin bowler who played 18 Tests for Australia.

Bangladesh could do a lot worse than see is Tapash Baiysa et al are any good at bowling offspin.

hey i do agree wid u on that....

I think Tapash shld try to be a spinner but also our 5'10" Talha should go for becomin a batsmen as his bowling isnt making him progress well....his bowling sucks..i think it may be bcoz he aint 6 feet and get give much bounces, he gets frustrated...
lets hope he goes for batting...batting would suit him more...

Strictly as myself:

lance you base your talha as a batsmen theory based on what foundation? Has Talha been scoring consistently in the domestic leagues? When playing does he tend to mostly play proper cricketing shots? Does he have a dogged defensive technique that compensates for any lack of stroke-playing ability? Has he demonstrated a very good hand-eye coordination? Let's hear your answer to these questions and then we can debate Talha as a batsmen theory. At least Masree & Tapash have some Test/ODI runs!

Lance,

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You know nothing about cricket.

Harold Larwood was 5'9. He was one of the best fast bowlers ever.

Don't bother using logic with 7 year olds.

You care being sarcastic, Right?
Because it doesn't make any sense to me.

I know Mahmud tried offspin few times in domestic league, with very little success.
