Or if not those, Stuart Meaker, Tymal Mills or Jamie Overton

Meaker could be worth a look at.

Mills is no more than another Tino Best at this stage. Fast but no control.

Overton looks a decent prospect.

Yeah we had the luxury of Steyn, philander and Morkel plus Kallis and a spinner.

But there are a couple of very promising young spinners coming through. Maybe 18-24 months away from international cricket.

Which very promising spinners are coming through?

There were also a couple of chaps called Donald and Pollock as well mate.Not wanting to forget those 2.

If Meaker had a brain cell...

I think Topley should be seriously considered.

Firdose Moonda put forward Leie and Harmer in a review of the two tests yesterday.

Borthwick figures are hindered by playing at Durham, hardly a ground for a budding leg spinner to play at. I wouldn't read much into them.

Saw an interesting article in the telegraph from the guy who did the 2006/7 review. He didnt think it required a review this time around and in a nutshell he said it was a mistake to play back to back series and it could of only benefited Australia with the second series at home. He also felt england peaked 2 years ago and the english summer series had taken too much out of them.

I heard Keshav Maharaj is a prospect too.

My worry with Borthwick is Cook (and English captains in general) not having a Bally clue on how to skipper leg spin. What's the point in playing one and instantly setting defensive fields and getting twitchy if, as is their nature, they get tap?

Sounds to me like someone grasping at straws using any excuse necessary to justify losing. Instead of just admitting this time around Australia were the better team

Cook doesn't have a clue how to skipper a marbles match at the moment

Cripes, given the trolling on here sometimes I wouldn't have thought that was hardly the biggest deviation from the discussion.

Sometimes I do wonder.

Well, they do come in different colours...

[uknsaunders]

Don't think he wasn't saying Australia weren't the better team, but merely highlighting the same kind of panic wasn't needed as in 06/07. Then again he might be covering his own are lol

I think that is the problem petehosk unfortunately there aren't many English spinners we can talk about mate at the current time mate.
