David Parsons Spin Quotations

Our focus has been on the 33 per cent but we ignore the 67 per cent at our peril. I don't see why we can't be as effective as finger-spin bowlers or as wrist-spinners. There is a place for the finger-spinner who can spin the ball prodigiously. We need to think of ourselves as attacking spin bowlers.

It's not quite a forgotten craft but it's the area of the game where we have been most reluctant to get involved, in terms of the specialist help the fast bowlers have received. I have got to convey a basic message about the mindset of a spin bowler, engender an interest in spin bowling and a culture that allows it to flourish. I'm not sure that exists at the moment.
