I had many problems when I was younger with my shoulder. Caused headaches, struggling to move after sleeping and warming up for a bowling session was excruciating. I'm not entirely sure how much grounding comes into it (I spend the majority of time at home barefoot) but I completely agree...

Down the ground, some lovely shots. One or two good looking ones through the covers as well. Your back leg looks to dominate quite a bit at times, especially with the straighter ball. Is that setup part of your club? I'd love that up here in the north! Don't think there is owt. Regarding...

My biggest challenge was building my leg sided shots. They're still poor in parts, as unlike when the ball is in front of me, I don't have a clue on the angle I should be hitting the ball unless its a glance. Playing indoor helped me because as you say, bounce and travel of the ball is a lot...

Excellent news, yeah the googly is a lovely ball to have in the locker, but as a leg spinner it has to be the stronger part of your game. Your most recent videos with you bowling indoors looks great, even without turn you're gunna get batsmen having another look if you put them in the right...

Its hell. Luckily the children make things a little more bearable! So, these leggies. I know we're in the wrong thread. Just had a quick look at your Youtube, actions looking decent! Steady.

I'm doing well, glad to hear you're still at it. I've not played for a couple of seasons due to work commitments unfortunately, I can't find the time at the minute. (Newly qualified teacher 'n all that, far too busy!) Hows the art going? Still spinning those cricket balls? Glad to see...

Would you believe the luck of you posting yesterday and me just happening to wander by today! This was some time ago!

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Good to hear the positives coming from you there, Dave. Its been a long long while since I've visited here, due to a very very dodgy shoulder I've not yet played a game this season, looks like it'll be the final few games just batting for me!

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Hopefully this is the big breakthrough for you, Dave :) Keep it up!

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Dave, your comment on captains being interested in spin is absolutely perfect. As a captain (or used to be before I hit the mens group) I always knew that spin could win me a game. All captains need to know how much of an effect spin has, and unfortunately some captains...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Nice to know you're still working hard Dave! My indoor season has been scuppered due to a fantastically annoying shoulder. Again its causing migranes when its moved, and again it cannot be moved after i've slept. So i've not played any sport in a month, which isn't...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Dave, Its good to hear you're working on your leg-break. Could maybe a few wieghts help you? Make your bowling arm stronger, and hopefully much more flexible to the need of leg-spinning. I'm not sure why you revery back to the googly all the time, but maybe the...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling The thing about the front arm is that it gives both speed and momentum to the leg-spinner. As your front arm is coming down, to allow your bowling are into full motion, its creating a speed balance between arms, generally the quicker (now I'll be careful here as people...

Re: Western Wizards Team Thread I seem to be a Wizard? Cool, we got a licence for magic? Or should I just use my bat to make magic?

Re: Things that annoy you You Liz, are the coach opposite to this! You appear composed and I'm sure closed at times. But when the "book," is open to younger players, many truths, life-tales and importantly cricketing knowledge is shared! :p

Re: Things that annoy you This is a perfect thread for me as I could list thousands of things. I'll read through later on. I hate it when you get some idiotic open age player thinking he's the best coach in the world. Telling you how a perfect straight drive should be played. Yet in game...

Re: New Players Sign Up Thread If we're still able to sign up - Simbazz Pure Bat (RHB) I'm one of the legends over at PlanetCricket ;) Thats about right isn't it Jaz? :p

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling I know Dave is a big fan of this, or atleast found it interesting! When bowling, imagine yourself as a shot-put thrower (You know those athletes who throw a heavy ball right?) and "push," the ball upwards when bowling. You wanna let go and physically feel yourself...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Dave, am I glad to see you've made it over here. How's your winter looking?
