Maxwell is an offie, must have been listed wrong

What about Australian leg spinners who played first class overseas. There was a young leg spinner (smith) in Sydney who was in nsw squads and took a lot of wickets. Last I heard he played first class in new Zealand for the volts.

SA played the young legspinner from Cricket Superstar last week, I believe

Cameron Williams?

yeah williams had a tough outing.

1/130 over the two innings of just under 20 overs.

i didn't see him bowl on the shield stream but those that did said he was all over the shop.

out of interest what does the winner of that show get??

A rookie contract...not sure what else, keep missing it!

NSW - Adrian Tucker

A contemporary of Warne's who was touted for big things. Never really met the expectations demanded of him, but also focused more on his career as an equities trader. Made news in 2004 when he played a first-class game after a decade's absence.

Pretty sure the only other headlines Adrian Tucker made was when Tom Moody hit him for 30 off one over in a Shield game.

It's a tough life if you're a leggie and they ain't coming out right.

Anyone mentioned Tim Zoehrer? rated by several judges as the best leggie in the country in the mid-80s.

And a personal favorite - Richie Robinson. Retired from keeping for Victoria and moved to Queensland. Played a bit of district and rolled his arm over a bit. Got so good at the leggies, he was apparently considered for the Queensland side.

Zoehrer the wicket keeper?

Zoehrer the wicket keeper?

That's the one

And this, from the article

He toured England in 1989 and 1993 - when he finished second to 
Shane Warne in the first-class bowling averages 
with 12 wickets at 20.83

Mark Taylor apparently bowled leggies.....

SA: Peter Curtin, Paul Curtin. Peter Clements, Kevin Lewis, Peter Schenscher (left arm wrist). Craig Francis, Michael Bevan left wrist), Evan Arnold, Mark Higgs (left wrist), Adam Zampa, Lloyd Pope, Jason Sangha.

There was a player by the name of Joe Medew-Ewen who played one game for SA several years ago. I'm thinking he may have been a spinner, but no idea which discipline.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Matthew Minagall for SA. Left arm wrist spinner, played a few shield games.

Mark Higgs was left arm orthodox, not a wrist spinner.

Mark Higgs bowled both, orthodox and wrist.

Joe is originally from Port Fairy, bowls leggies

Was Malcom Dollman a leggie?

 

[Mockcockpit]

Giles Bush played 9 games for WA. Listed as George in the Cricinfo scorecards which made me laugh.

David Hourn's nephew used to tread this board regularly.
