Just bowl until you think you´ve bowled enough and then bowl some more.

Your action is quite all right, although you seem to take a massive step sideways away from your target right before your delivery stride. It isn't necessarily wrong and you don't have to change it, but if you do it'd probably increase your accuracy and make your delivery angle more attacking...

Thank you so much for the advice and videos, and about the ripping it square part , I was probably a bit overwhelmed by a guy I saw at practice, who's in the Dutch U19 national team, ripping them square and getting consistent drift drop and bounce which made every delivery unplayable for even...

http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/8863735/shane-warne-spin-masterclass Might only work in the UK, otherwise download Hula unblocker (for google chrome), but here's Shane Warne's masterclass that was aired during the Ashes series in England. There are some great tips on how to bowl on...

Thanks for the advice and the video, I found it very helpful. The thing is though, to bowl a ripping off break I still need to be able to bowl a topspinner and work from there, because of the angle you create by bowling round the wicket and the fact that right now I'm bowling what are essentialy...

You're right about the SLC and SLA thing. The reasons why I stopped bowling wrist-spin are first of all the short season in the Netherlands. Because of the divisional structure, and the short summer when I also have my main vacation I'm lucky if I play more than 10 matches. The second reason is...

Since I temporarily left the forum I've switched from bowling SLC to SLA. If you look at my figures, it went rather well, picking up 12 wickets at 21.00 in matches that we mostly lost quite badly, however if you purely look at the way I bowled, it went terrible. Although I was quite consistent...

As long as you have the ability to land your leg- and topspinner where you want you can be very dangerous as a leggie so you don't necessarily need a wrong 'un even though it will generate a couple of extra wickets. What worked for me last season was bowling an off-spinner in stead of a wrong...

For all the chinaman bowlers out there, a vid of 21 year old Michael Rippon (SA) bowling for Sussex. Hopefully a good prospect. Not the greatest action, but possibly still helpful.

Thanks for the kind words and I'll work on it.

Still, he's the second best South African test spinner according to the stats.

Our coach recently posted a vid of our team bowling and batting. What do you guys think of my action? I'm the chinaman bowler from 1:44 till 2:05 and 2:17. Thanks for your advice! Please mute the vid, because the music is a bit annoying.

Ouch, what happened to your son? Hope he'll recover soon!

Thanks for your advice everyone! I asked my coach the same question and he said that I should look at the weather conditions at the start of the match, since I'm able to bowl both. Since I enjoy spinning the most right now I'll probably continue with spin bowling.

Experiment during practice. Keep your wrist cocked for a bit longer or wait a bit longer with releasing.
