Great point there Jeesh and it's very true. Rafique obviously had an influence but also it's mainly the nature of wickets that we play on. Diversity of pitches are key here. We can't just have pitches that help the SLA's. We need pitches that help ALL spinners, pacers, and batsmen. The more diversity we have in our pitches, the more diversity we'll have in our bowling attack. A small idea here for the selectors that can help in a big way is to have Gazi in the next team. If he can get that chance ahead of the likes of Saqlain and Arafat, it might make a difference. Gazi will also have to make a difference. If he can become a star, who knows, younger kids might want to become an offspinner rather than an SLA. Nur should be in consideration in a few years as well. If these 2 become class players then it could really help with this problem.
