Re: Help with Leg Spin?? Thanks MB and barney, from the above link they say you have to be have some ECB qualification and log in to purchase, I will drop them an e mail though to try to purchase the spin one if it is worth it. Thanks again

Re: Help with Leg Spin?? Barney did they post wings to fly to Australia as to purchase it it seems you have to be some sort of ECB coach. Also my country Malta is not listed in the drop down list of countries, i know i could e mail them but was just wondering if you can get them without being a...

what bat do you use? I have a CA 10,000 plus and a GM duellist both about 2lb8oz. Still find them a bit heavy for cross batted shots. They are as good as new, am in my sides batting mainly for moral support as our format is mainly 20/20. Not even a crack on them :laugh:

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Lucky to have such a beautiful place to practice. Problem is you will need a dog to fetch the balls like clarrie grimmet used to do way back in the 30s. Some things never change in this old game. Unfortunately the place where i practice very erratically has been dug up to...

Re: What is the most physically demanding sport? Aerobically and anaerobically i think cross country skiing is the toughest. A stage at the tour de France in the alps or Pyrenees is not for the faint hearted

Re: Fractures I ask because the first time i fielding i was talking to one of the experienced players who is a pathologist(yikes). He is a very good offspin bowler full of guile. He told me he does not have one bone in his hand that was not broken. Scary... well he cuts up bodies i told myself...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Thanks again . Any DVD you can recommend i can get thatdoes not require me to have the suppleness of nadia comaneci? Thank you in advance

Fractures I was wondering due to limited playing experience how common are finger fractures while fielding, fielding to your bowling and batting. Would not really like to have one especially with a dislocation with all the ligaments , tendons, vessels and nerves around them

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Thanks liz but my missus thinks that the best one on one therapy and general core strengthening is easily achieved by cleaning the floor and the odd plate :laugh: The reason i was obsessed with this backspiner is that i had thought the big leg break was the one spun from...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Some residual numbness occasionally and not related to any particular activity. Self diagnosed it as am a geratrician. Spondylosis free back looked spotless on mri (except for two prolapses C5 and C6) and thankfully no surgery required. Had a chat with a few colleagues of...
