Bashir learning the Test tricks

GOOD START: SPINNER NOT GETTING AHEAD OF HIMSELF

- 

Shoaib Bashir may already be a Test-match winning bowler but the 20-year-old off-spinner insists he's still learning "the tricks of the trade".

The towering Bashir ripped through the West Indies in the second Test at Trent Bridge, taking 5-41 on Sunday's fourth day as the tourists lost all 10 of their second-innings wickets in 23 overs, with England winning by 241 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Bashir had only made six firstclass appearances when he was catapulted into the Test side during a tour of India earlier this year and he responded with two five-wicket hauls on pitches renowned for aiding spinners.
