So with Lyon playing for Australia and if we didn't have Botha playing 4 Day Cricket what would be our next best Spin options or would we need to look interstate?

Don't really need to look interstate as he is already here but Darren Berry should be calling/emailing Pakistan's greatest Leg Spinner Abdul Qadir begging him to allow his son Usman take up Australian Citizenship and play for the Redbacks whilst he serves his qualification period to play for Australia.

why cant young qadir play when johan can?


Only 19 and already has 29 2 day wickets with 2 games to go before xmas. A much more financially sound proposition for Usman IMO as he can make a comfortable living from cricket here in Australia.....
