    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    I toured sri lanka last year and found that if you bowl quick through the air it should still spin wheres normally that pace for me wouldn't have spun as much back at home. The other thing is that they all play spin very well and that means they all sweep very well to. So if was going there...

    Leg Spinner And Coach

    From what I have gathered, Max is very knowledgeable about leg spin bowling and is doing very well with his coaching ebooks. Keep up the good work Max.

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    The biggest problem with coming around the wicket is that you will find it difficult to get an LBW, so you have less options of getting wickets.

    I think that you should definitely start over the wicket and then if nothing is happening for you, then you should come around the wicket. In other words, only use around the wicket as a last resort.

    My Leg Spin Video

    Hi GoldenArm, Yes I do have a pretty high arm action, the only reason I haven't decided to change it too much is because I do normally get a lot of turn anyway so I don't think I need to change it because there would probably be advantages of a high arm action if I am getting enough turn.

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    I bowl my slider just out the front of the hand, rolling my palm and fingers under the ball creating underspin just like a normal medium pace delivery but slower. I will try and post a video of it in the coming days.

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    Had my third regular game for the season yesterday. Pretty comprehensive win for us in the end. I came into bat when we were struggling at 5 for 95 with 20 overs left in our innings. I wasn't hitting them that well so just tried to give strike to our number 6 batsman who was on about 30 then and...

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    I think the best thing for you to do tom is to elimanate options through trial and error until you find the right approach for yourself. Because everyone is different and especially with leg spin bowling, there is no one action that works for everyone. I think all u have to do is just bowl heaps...

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    Yesterday I had my first regular game of the season in 2nds. We batted first and managed to only put on 158 before being bowled out. I batted 6 and hit 17. When it came our turn to bowl our openers struggled and they put on about 50 runs in 10 overs for just 1 wicket loss. Me and this other...

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    Yeah that's right, I am only 15 years old and I will play 2nds if I miss out but I still thought it would be a massive achievement to play 1st in year 9. But anyway I guess your right that I will play 2nds and then get a go in firsts next season if I miss out this season.

    Keep Going Out In Slips

    Hi Freddie, I think that one of the reasons you may be getting out in slips is that maybe you might be pushing at the ball a bit and playing in front of yourself. especially if you are an opening batsman where there is a lot of gaps in that cover area to score runs, you may find your self almost...
