Yeah I'm no fan of running, when the weather's fine I try and get out every other day and do interval training. I walk 100 steps - sprint 22 over a circuit that takes 18 mins, more for cardiovascular reasons than cricket. My circuit is in stunning woodland and I'm interested in wildlife - but I...

@Fleetwood I was OK on Sunday, a little sore and "Achey" as to be expected. Nothing a bit of Yoga and stretching wouldn't have put right - I reckon I'd have been fine for another 8 overs of bowling. To be honest the outfield helped, the grass was so long there were very few fours and the ball...

Now I'm envious. Is that pretty much unique to WA? Is your climate over that side better than the East coast up around the Gold coast area or similar? I should just go and look at some weather data shouldn't I?

Indoors?

Where are you Doc? I thought you was an Aussie and your season had finished?

Just home from the Saturday game, I haven't got the exact scores yet as they did them one of those bloody tablet things rather than doing it properly. But Ball park I reckon I was 8-1-22-2. Bowled a few Leg-Breaks today and they came out well, one resulted in a catch at square leg. I must have...

Fleetwood are you aware of the potential pitfalls with learning the Wrong-un? I was hoping to play two games this weekend 2 x 40 overs Sat and Sun, but our lot couldn't get 11 so the Sunday game if off. But I guess with 6 teams out on Sunday and it being the first league weekend people are...

Yeah definitely - speared in nice and full aiming around their leg stump. Trying to get my head around visualising being a left-hander... So that's the same as me bowling to a RH. So that's exactly like me bowling a flipper to a RH batter. In which case - full, straight at the stumps unless...

Goes dead on here when the Aussies finish their season!

We've always been pretty much the most active part of the forums, I reckon we'll be going a little longer!

I'm guessing you're all done (Antipodeans)? I've been watching the women's cricket in NZ, that's been good from an England perspective, there's been some good games. I get the impression the games are being played right at the back end of the season over there? We're approach the season - 3...

Yeah I've done that - whatever you do nothing goes right. Brain fug?

Yeah I think forums like this have seen their day... These are the death throes of them we're seeing now. This one only survives because of the effort of the people involved put in and the fact that what we do is pretty niche, there's not that many people out there that do it with this amount of...

It's okay - doesn't make a lot of difference.

Yeah I went through a phase of trying to increase 'Arm speed' but I concluded that was a younger persons approach. I don't think it's something that is advocated, it seems to be that generally people bowl at their optimum arm speed within the limits of your own body, so to consciously push it...

I caught up with the end of the India/Eng test today and Kuldeep Yadav got man of the match. He was then asked about what he'd done to improve so much and I found his answer interesting "I've been working on my length, totally focused on the length and getting that right and compeletly ignoring...

I find it does the batsman all ends up, easy to see when you've got it coming out well.

Someone asked about drift? Man I struggled getting my head around that. It'll be interesting seeing what you come up - I eventually settled on the explanation I came up with that's on here somewhere.

It good to see that someone else at last has latched on to the potential of the flipper! I think you need to read Brian Wilkins chapter on it, in his book "The bowlers art". Plus the three Grimmett books if you can get hold of them. Be good to hear how you get on in your last games. Do you keep...

Yeah just watched it, yeah he seems to have as he says a high in the fingers action which is pretty much the way that I have to bowl my top-spinner, but I've noticed that I've only got to get the wrist presentation slightly wrong and I end up with a nice - big turning leg-break. So with a bit of...
