Well I knew what I meant. It seems the selectors knew what I meant too.

Spinning has adverse effects in footballing terms at least.

In reply to King Cricket. It'll work in South Africa though!

In reply to King Cricket. Does that not only happen in the southern hemisphere, Aditya? The next Ashes tour isn't for ages.

In reply to King Cricket. The secret is to spin the other way and it sorts itself out.

In reply to Ged Ladd. High likelihood of falling in the immediate aftermath of the spinning too.

In reply to Ged Ladd. I am not at all sure constantly spinning on the field would be a way to have years of top performance left in you, Ged. That extra exercise shaves off a few years.

All the evidence, in my view, points towards a drop in confidence and thus an evaporation of form, both with bat and ball.

Moenn’s only 32 years old – a spinning all-rounder could have years of top performance left in him, if he still has the spirit to fight to recover his form and place.

He should rebuild his confidence by playing out the remainder of the season for Worcestershire, not England. If that goes well, he should tour South Africa for England this winter.

In reply to Mike. We love an ambiguous headline.
