This episode is about English spinners. Since Graeme Swann retired, England have tried 12 spinners. Many are batsmen who bowl a bit. Recently Geoffrey Bunting wrote a piece about English spin, the treatment of Jack Leach, and the reality of how little England seems to understand about nurturing the craft. We talk Samit Patel, Dom Bess, Moeen Ali, Gareth Batty and the “learn to bat” advice.
