And most of all, I don't think much of it is very good, you go through the stats of delivery taking wickets in the Blast by spinners and it's mostly absolute filth. Take Chris Green as an example, he's clearly got a way, but its an incredibly negative way of doing it...
It worked quite well last season but has failed this time around. Having said that none of the bowlers have been up to much.
