    Steven Smith, video link, general thoughts

    Im sitting on the fence on this one. I think sky has done a great job with the cricket and people forget the money the ecb get from sky which goes into grass roots and coaching (my coaching badge had somthing to do with sky cant remember now). Sky money really helps some of the English countys...

    Yes Jim, make sure you free up plenty of space on your sky+ box for that. Would love to hear some more of Warne commentating to Smith and talking about what they have been working on ect. Good bye decent sleeping pattern

    Remember the start of Warnes career? He was lucky the selectors game him time an he suddenly burst into life. Not saying Smith will be anywhere near Warnes class, but its not a good idea to judge him on one test cap. @Jim , interesting you mention Cremer, was watching him recently and was...

    And another from side on. This was from the Sri Lanka 2020 in which he bowled plenty of long hops, but this ball was pretty spot on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nPrl60VFAg I have a feeling they will give Smith a good run, his batting has is potentialy very useful and people (inc Warnie) seem...

    Hi guys, managed to get a good shot of Smith recently bowling against india: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxnYE0PYnPY General thoughts on Smith? I'v really noticed in the recent games Smith has really slowed his action/run up down compared to when he appeared on the scene, i hear Warne has...

    Another problem :D

    Re: Another problem :D Thanks, i will have a play around with it tomorow. Definatly feels like im spinning forward and somtimes down, i do tend to bowl most of my leggies out of the front of the hand for max side spin so i am quite flat. Iv also been thinking i might be driving the leg...

    Another problem :D

    Another problem :D Hi guys. Id describe my self as being a pretty raw leggie although iv been bowling it since the age of about 12/13 (now 22) because iv never really been coached, iv always just run up and spun it hard with some decent results. Its only really this year that iv been pulling my...

    Re: Videos and Links In my opinion is, in truth if you bowl a leg break (it doesnt even have to turn much, just look on tv) on a perfect length (getting the batsman forward without the ball being full enough to drive) at a good pace, then thats a good enough delivery to ANY batsman. I spent...

    Leg spin- Pace and pitch type

    Re: Leg spin- Pace and pitch type Dave your right about balls. Playing club cricket on a saturday the ball we use has a nice seam and the ball stays firm and offerers decent bouce. Playing for my village club in the sunday village league the balls seem cheaper with the seam less pronounced with...

    Leg spin- Pace and pitch type

    Re: Leg spin- Pace and pitch type Nice going Jim ;). You are certainly right about the bounce on first class wickets, you certainly get rewarded for any overspin, i found that my wrongun (which is mostly overspin with only slight turn atm due to a stiff shoulder) was getting good bounce. Iv...

    Re: Videos and Links Absolutly, Joe Denly is by no means a county spinner he is an opening batsman, much like the way im sure Atherton would bowl an over of leg spin every other game for Lancs (i dont know that stats so i might be wrong), and im sure Joe dosnt claim to be a county bowler, im...

    Leg spin- Pace and pitch type

    Leg spin- Pace and pitch type Hi Guys Was very interesting listening to Warney commentate on a few of the recent Pakistan test matches over here in UK, especially when Kaneria was bowling. One piece that interested me was about the pace he would bowl during a test match. He mentioned that...

    Leg spin- follow through/body rotation

    Re: Leg spin- follow through/body rotation I agree guys, the different leg motions come from the different actions. Not talking large differences of course. I agree with Spiderlounge about the height of the arm, when i experiment with a slightly higher arm the leg does seem to follow through...

    Leg spin- follow through/body rotation

    Leg spin- follow through/body rotation Hi Have been working hard to get a full follow through and body rotation over a braced front leg and it has been going well. Have been looking at a few leggies follow throughs and wanted some opinions. For example, Adil Rachid dosnt drive the leg...

    Leg spin - dragging the ball down short

    Re: Leg spin - dragging the ball down short Thanks for you thoughts, very interesting and helpful. After looking at my action on camera today i made abit of a breakthrough and i also realised that i have been talking some rubbish. The footage showed that my front let was slightly bent at...

    Leg spin - dragging the ball down short

    Re: Leg spin - dragging the ball down short The thing i am confused about is how can you rotate your body through the ball and not bring your chest open at delivery, thus dragging it down. Im not denying that warne and jenner say your need to rotate your body, but looking closely at warne he is...
