Playing at CIDERABAD helps the current spinners produce, and obviously provides an incentive for their academy to focus on future prospects.
Not sure how much credit they get for Bashir who only signed there at 18 or 19, and was in the Test side about a year later?
Vaughan is obviously a...
No surprise. He's a VERY good County player, in all aspects of the game. That's not enough though - if he were perhaps 6'8" and had mastered the reverse scoop, then he'd be worthy of a recall.

They’ll probably still go on to win this match comfortably - but it’s such poor cricket. Take that attitude in a couple of sessions in Australia and that’s the Ashes gone.
Anderson apparently had to be cast aside whilst...
