Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Meh. My CPU went down. Sorry I didn't answer earlier. How did I sort it out? Good question. I'm not sure I'm doing anything differently. I know I just spun it hand-to-hand for two days, and then went and bowled at my tree. Nothing but the leg-break. Palm perpindicular to...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling ^_^ Yay! I got my leg break straightened out. And by straightened out, I mean it's breaking again. Of course, I can't throw a wrong 'un or topspinner anymore, but that'll come back, right? :cool:

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Wicket = set of three stumps and two bails... right? It's also the term used to say a batsman is out. His wicket is taken, right? :confused: Anyway, the flipper is like a leg break, but it straightens and stays low upon pitching, right? That's what I get when I try...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling OK... I don't bowl it that often, I don't think. I generally bowl 6 balls in a pattern: Leg Break, Topspinner, Leg Break, Leg Break, Wrong 'Un, Leg Break. And then repeat. I know it's not 7 leg breaks to a wrong 'un, but it can't be messing me up that badly, can it...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling :o I've got a problem... I have come to the conclusion that I can bowl a better wrong 'un than leg break. That doesn't seem right. My leg break is almost straight, and low... Almost like a flipper. My wrong 'un moves more than three feet. Is there anything seriously wrong...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling There's also lots cricketers shouldn't learn. For instance, in baseball, it's often seen as the pitcher's (~=bowler's) job to get the batsman out. In cricket, that's not the case. the bowler isn't supposed to bowl a batsman every delivery. He's often playing the ball...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling I think Dave was right the first time. Swing is when the ball moves thanks to the motion of the air over the rough side with respect to its motion over the shiny side. Drift is due to the spin of the ball. Fast bowlers swing; spin bowlers drift. ... I think... but...

Hiya! ^_^ Hey everybody. Hmm... Introduce myself... Well, I'm an American (unfortunately), who fell in love with cricket at a Kentucky Derby party when he was 13. I've tried to teach myself the game since. I think I have a basic grasp on the rules and such - but I'm really going to be doing...
