Andrew - would love see your bowling video mate!

My first over, at least the first 3-4 bowls will be mostly faster ones. They will be fast enough for batsman to just push them around and for me to get warmed up. While this has worked out with 60-70% success, most of the times I have failed is when I have bowled with the wind behind me or on...

Nice one leftie600 :D

Thanks for the link Dave! Good to know your son is feeling better now. I do the warne approach most of the time though must admit when a leggie instead of spinning ends up being a fast straighter one, I call it the Kumble approach :)

Some awesome tips GA! Would love to see a video of your bowling action :)

Good start to the season ... Over - Runs - Wickets 1 - 1 - 1 3 - 17 - 1 2 - 8 - 2 Though I had to reduce my speed quite a bit as the wickets are playing slow and low.

Wonder if that could explain why most of the offies with doubtful actions always wear full sleeves... Just saying ;)

Thanks all for the suggestions! Macca rightly pointed out - the space is restrictive & therefore, the angled run up...Not enough space to run in straight :( As far as flight is concerned, I ge about 8-8.5 feet which I believe is good height considering its about 2-2.5 feet about the eye level of...

This is a video of my bowling action taken from front of and behind the stumps. Since this was taken in the evening, couldn't capture the complete flight, pitch and spin. Will capture that in a morning session sometime. As of now, look forward to your feedback/suggestions on what can be...

Wanted to check on the grip in these images - the first two fingers are not on the seam but way beyond that, specially in the last two pics. Any idea if this is a leg break variation?

Very useful tips from Ashley Mallet on spin bowling - the key to spin bowling is not where the ball lands but how it arrives. http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/543815.html

Since I am not from australia, can't even see the book to decide which chapters or pages. Pdf copy of the whole book will cost about $50 aud - not sure if thats expensive or reasonable.

Is it possible to get a copy of TTB or getting wickets through email. Can't get it online anywhere including abebooks!

For whatever reasons, I started with top spin and added leg break as a variation since the turn is the surprise element. But over a period of time, I am using the big leg breaks more often and using flipper +slider with some degree of success and top spinner as the variation. Just couldn't get...

I had this problem specially against leggies. A few things that helped me improve: 1) Watch the release of the ball - Avoid stepping out to flat deliveries. Also look out for the direction of the seam - a fairly good indicator of the direction of spin 2) Observe the trajectory - does it looks...

I was referring to his bowling arm.

Read in Warne's biography that he broke both his legs when he was kid and use to move around in a wheelchair for a while. He also used to race with his friends/cousins lying on a skateboard and pushing it with his hands. Apparently these activities strengthened his forearms which helped him give...

A quick update - tried the Asics Gel resolution 3 tennis shoes and its great so far (a week) on the cemented surface. Unfortunately, I couldn't get Asics Peake in US.

I had the tape on in the game... the umpire let me use it though I had to put a fresh one in front of him. I have also made a slight variation in my grip with the third finger resting just behind the seam (on the softer leather) instead of on the seam. This has cut down on friction drastically...
