Simon Harmer backs 'absolute genius' Carl Crowe to strengthen England's spin bowling

South Africa secured a commanding 176-run triumph over Australia at Newlands, propelled by an outstanding ten-wicket match haul from off-spinner Simon Harmer that lifted the Proteas to the summit of the ICC Test standings. During a recent podcast appearance, Harmer turned his attention to England's cricketing setup, praising Carl Crowe as a master of spin mechanics while criticizing the English county system for overlooking specialist coaching.

Harmer argued that fast-bowling coaches frequently oversee young slow bowlers domestically, creating a disconnect that hinders athletes like Jack Leach, Dom Bess, Shoaib Bashir, and Jack Carson when they transition away from national team supervision.
