Can you clarify something, i'm a bit confused (easily done).

If I select one spinner as a frontline bowler, am I still then allowed all rounders who are spinners as well? Or is it solely the one?

Cheers

EDIT ignore this I think i've just answered my own question - obviously the extra bowler from the all rounders negates the 'one spinner from four frontline' option. D'uh!!

well, an all rounder counts as 1 batsman & 1 bowler, so takes up 1 of your quote of a minimum of 5 batsmen(max of 6) and minimum of 4 bowlers(max of 5).

Basically the only time you can't have a spinner all rounder is if you only pick 3 other bowlers and 1 of them is a spinner. If the all rounder is counting as a 5th bowler, he can be a spinner, but if he's the 4th bowler he can only be a spinner if the other 3 bowlers are seamers.

You can of course have a seam all rounder in a 5 man bowling attack and have 2 out and out spinners.

Hope that helps.

Well the season finally gets under way in 2 hours! Todays games are:

Hampshire v Durham, The Rose Bowl, 11:00
Lancashire v Sussex, Liverpool, 11:00
Worcestershire v Yorkshire, New Road, 11:00

Hampshire Durham should be a belter, Lancahire will probably draw and I'd expect a comfortable Yorkshire win.

This could be another great season for Rashid, 2 wickets in the first morning in April! Admittedly Worcestershire aren't really up to much.

6fer in the 1st innings alone.

Just been watching some of that Youtube footage of him for the South Australia Redbacks.

Admittedly, I thought Samaras was world class when I saw Youtube footage of him but this kid looks very impressive.
