Gurinder Sandhu the new Colin "Funky" Miller?

[happy punter]

I was just reading through the match report of Australia A's tour game against India A in Chennai and read that Sandhu picked up a few wickets bowling off spin. If that is something he can develop over time it would add an extra dimension to the Australian attack in the future.

I must admit I didn't even know he could bowl off spin nor have read him doing so in the domestic circuit until now.

He has to get into the Aust XI (in any format) consistently to make use of the extra string to his bow though

i thought it was he changes his hair colour every 3 days and has an earing in the left ear

I do hope that's true. It would be nice to see more players using more than one style of bowling.

Well it's true that he got wickets with his off breaks.

As bowled off breaks in a shield match earlier this year

Am I right that we're touring Bangladesh later this year. Sandhu could be a chance along with a couple of the batsmen who have impressed in the A series

virat kohli and pujara playing for india A, lol

Bit quicker than Miller, I'd have thought. I'd have said the new Bill Johnston, although I guess Johnston was a leftie.

An improved cricketer. Couldn't catch a cold 3 years ago

 

[STFU Donnie]

Does he have two dogs named "Richie" and "Benaud"?

Bruce Yardley was orginally a fast-medium bowler, but he converted to off-spin rather than use both disciplines.

From memory, the pitch was a dust bowl and his wickets weren't particularly impressive. I wouldn't be reading too much into this...

They weren't great wickets in the first innings. But the 4 in the second were much better balls.

Sandhu is the best Aussie bowler in Australia

Sandhu is a gun t20 od player. Hopefully he can develop his off spinners too.

You mean australian of Indian descent right? Is that because he can bowl over 130 kph?

 

[The_Reaper]

Sandhu is the second best fast bowler of all time from Sydney who has Indian ancestry and has represented Australia at international level.

Handy to have over on the sub-continent.
