Well yes. But unless you can change the English climate quicker than waiting for Global Warming to do the job , you'd have to persuade the money men to get the CC back into the right part of the summer instead of giving way to the fast food of the limited over stuff... They've made changes designed to help the spinner ...the four day game instead of three ; and recently this change to the traditional toss at the start. But it really isn't quite as simple as we might wish. There are reasons why certain types of player tend to develop in some countries more than others ; and overcoming them is not something that can be easily addressed by artificial tinkering with the rules .
This post. Id have to assume the point about not playing in hotter and drier portions of the summer was in reference to pitches being generally more helpful for spinners, and the overall point about countries capacity to produce spinners being better than England's due to pitches/conditions. I answererd asking if Mason Crane is playing on pitches so unhelpful, then why is Liam Dawson taking wickets at 26, and him costing another 20 runs on the same pitches. One cannot say Mason is playing in such unhelpful or impossible situations to develop if he isnt even producing results anywhere near as successful as others in the exact same situations.
Rich then responded quite aggressively about me misquoting him. I simply said the original post I reacted to was posted by yourself.
I didnt actually quote you. So I couldnt have misquoted you.
Either way, I think if you trace the point back, I wouldnt have misquoted or misunderstood the point you were making.
