He was a very good leggie in his younger days. His back put paid to his bowling career, alas.Atherton?
What school was that AHT - did he go Failsworth?He was a very good leggie in his younger days. His back put paid to his bowling career, alas.
He went to the same school as me. A bit older though. He came back to open a new sports hall, named after him, and bored us to tears with his speech.

Not much, but he doesn’t have a “magic“ ball as of yet.
He’s got a decent average against the fodder he plays against in the County Championship. Look how good most of those batsmen are when they reach test cricket.
Parkinson is currently overhyped as he hasn’t been tried yet.
Remember Simon Kerrigan?
2 spinners in the Caribbean? :-0all am saying is let see what he can do with a good run in the test squad like leach has had ?
why leach ever got pick for the tour of the west indies after the ashes was a shocker. he was 100% in the cull after the bashing in the ashes did nothing to earn his place on this tour ?
the only thing that changed was adding another batsman for a bowler ? then stokes saying he was only going to bat so why pick bairstow ? parky could have come in with leach or for leach
2 spinners in the Caribbean? :-0
If Parky wasn’t a Lanky, I don’t think the clamour on here would be as strong.
If Parkinson is our best spinner, we have shit spinners.looking at the last 2 test in the west indies and the wicket being dead from the start. 2 spinners would have done a better job ?
can i say that am not a big lanky fan. i hated Neil fairbrother what a twat he was and never bothered with them after that.
am going on what i watched over the last 2 or 3 seasons with games on tv and highlights on youtube he looks the part. yes his batting and fielding needs work but so do most spin bowlers
If Parkinson is our best spinner, we have shit spinners.
He is an option we can use. Not should. However inept you think Root and the other selectors are, they see these players in the nets.he is a option we should use and see if he can handle it over picking leach every time
not saying he will be the new warnie ? but even he had to play at the bottom first at Lancashire league cricket

We watch highlight reels on YouTube.
