This one is a ripper from yesterdays play http://www.cricket.com.au/news/match-report/new-south-wales-v-queensland-sheffield-shield-day-four/2014-12-12

He is going good and thanks for asking Tony. He will finish high school next year and wants to join the Air Force. He plays Saturday afternoon club cricket with his mates these days and I don't get to see him play much but I can check his stats out online and as of last week he had taken 24...

I agree Chino but I think Cleanprophets use of the word bigot is completely wrong in any way describing the English cricket set-up. I suspect he didn't mean the connotations of that word. In fact the so called "England" team is more likely to be peopled by everyone and anyone but Englishmen so...

Well there you go son, that might be part of your problem. You have stopped grunting. Too bad your mates payed out on it and you stopped.

Hey shahidpak do you grunt aloud as you release the ball? I mean are you putting in a big effort and not just lobbing it up there?

Who said poms couldnt bowl legspin? :) That was really good I reckon.

Maybe it isnt that bad. Your sparring partner might be getting caught off most of those horizontal shots? I am presuming there are no fieldsmen during these sessions? Anyway you must be bowling a trifle too short for the circumstances?

Good bowling young fellow and you seem to have intent and control over your 3 different deliveries.

Well if those Grimmett books you ordered have arrived yet you should look up his advice for legspinners as far as batting goes. Basically dont hang around too long because batting is no good for your bowling! He reckons he would not score anymore than 25 runs and that was it, he would get out...

What a start! That is surely the best early season bowling anyone has ever posted here.

I reckon you went really well considering all that. Those conditions are way colder than a winters day where I live. It must be hard to get the fingers loose enough to bowl when it is like that.

The leg breaks have a bit more energy in the latest clips compared to the earlier ones. Are you running in a bit further and slightly faster? That flipper has a lower trajectory but that could have a bit to do with the shorter length it's a bit hard to pick on that view with no reference...

I hope it wasn't the bloke who runs the tennis court banging his fist on a desk and yelling "There is that damn legspinner digging up my turf again with his infernal flippers, I told him yesterday to clear off and he is back again today!"

And following on from that Grimmett, Benaud and Warne were all world class bowlers before they learnt the flipper. Benaud and Grimmett were test bowlers before they learnt the delivery and Warne was at the cricket academy and was on the verge of test selection. Like when Philpott calls the...

That is all true, but you must have a better screen and resolution than me because I cant see what Darthspins hand is doing from those clips. But if you are picking up that it doesn't look a lot like his normal legbreak and more like an off break action or something else than he needs to do a...

SLOB was set up to find Philpotts backspinning missing link. Not the flipper in all it's variety. If you finger clicked all those deliveries in the clips then, I for one, am impressed. Now we expect you to act responsibly and put them all back in the box till next off season or at least the...

Where did you find that Grimmett suggestion Cleanprophet? I dont think I have ever heard of it before that's all.

You reckon the ball is deep in his hand? I reckon Spin Lizard is right about you needing your eyes checked.

No it's not that simple and anyway if you are one of these blokes about to start a new season best forget about flippers until next winter.

Hang on mate. Didn't you post yesterday there was no point making any judgement on a bowling action unless it was in an actual match situation?
