Is Agar the next big thing?
« on: July 15, 2013, 12:59:19 PM »
I know it's very early to tell but is Agar going to be the next big thing in Aussie cricket? .. He does have a special aura about him I think

Looked freakily calm throughout the whole game.

He'll be in the side a while I think. I reckon he could go the whole Ashes (in England and Aus) over the next year.

Not sure for how long after, I get the feeling Aus are still searching for the next Shane Warne.

First and foremost he's a bowler so if he doesn't perform with the ball the he won't play. Countless people have entered international cricket and set the world alight only to disappear within a few years.

He definitely has some potential but needs to improve his bowling. I know there were comments about a slight cut / injury to his finger but he's not had the worst debut!

What I would say is that if he wants to get more turn he will have to have a chat about how he holds the ball with swannie (perhaps after Jan next year!)

He has a wonderful eye for a ball and a good range of shots.

There is a whole lot of Ben Holioake about him. I hope his will be a much happier story.

His batting in the first innings reminded me a lot of KP when he first broke into the England side, he could be the next big thing, but with the Aussies selection policy for spinners he might not get an extended run in the side

What do you think is the issue with his grip, I was away for a couple of days and missed both England innings?

He doesnt bowl it with a conventional spinners grip, the ball comes out with a scrambled seam, I'm surprised he's got to test match level without anybody noticing.

Looks like to me his arm isn't vertical on release and the ball comes out on it's belly, like a cross seam. Great for getting bounce but not so great for side spin. Rumour had it he was struggling with spinning finger injury and the finger was tapped up. As a consequence he wasn't gripping it correctly to minimise finger contact with the seam.
