There's a lot to like about Brandon Mavuta; his googly is one of the best I've seen for sure. Rashid Khan and Imran Tahir easily the best in the game right now. For a kid who's learning on the spot I think there's incredibly encouraging signs - don't forget last time we toured Bangladesh we relied on Kamungozi in the leg spin department!

Re: Williams and Mavuta selected for SA T20
I was trying to find some footage, but from what I recall his googly is well disguised out of hand but his arm is a lot more upright. That applies to most leggies but from a couple of stills I’ve seen his is quite pronounced.
This tour will reveal a bit. Again I suspect he lacks quite a lot of control still. But let’s hope he does well, we need a bit of cheer.

Hasn't totally gone to plan today though, those Bangladeshis are a different breed.

Re: Williams and Mavuta selected for SA T20
Not really a massive jump at all..? His google is very hard to pick, and just because he's bowled a few bad balls today doesn't take anything away from how excitingly talented he is. Fickle springs to mind, Conant
Re: Williams and Mavuta selected for SA T20
The guys you mentioned are probably the best Mavuta can try to emulate, although he doesn't have the same action as Imran and Rashid he isn't a classical leg spinner who rips it side ways. Those two guys arn't either but they just bowl on about off stump and rip their goggly a few times an over which has been so successful for them. Mavuta's strength is also his googly so he should concentrate on just bowling that off stump line and throwing the variations in from there.
Way too inconsistent yesterday, but he still got the big wicket of Mushfiqur which is a good sign, he's a wicket taker.
