Is Twenty20 cricket a boon for spin bowlers?

December 18th, 2006

As Sri Lanka take on New Zealand in the Twenty20 international match on Friday, we come back to the age old question-Should spin bowlers be selected for limited overs cricket?

In the good old days when one day international cricket matches began,spinners were generally not selected or relegated to a supporting role.

 Nowadays,in limited overs cricket internationals, spinners very often form the basis of the  bowling attack and Twenty20 cricket internationals are no exception.

In fact, very often, spinners bowl the last few overs in Twenty 20 international cricket matches and this trend is expected to continue in this golden era of spin bowlers with the variety of Shane Warne, Muralitharan,Daniel Vettori and Anil Kumble
