    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    nah the lad who kept that game only tends to keep on friendlies, slip on the other hand i've played with for years and probably knows my bowling as well as anyone, the first team saturday keeper is great though really fast hands.

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    nah it wasn't a typo basically had the perfect pitch you could ask for as a leggie for the 5 for 2 (5 overs-3 maidens-2 runs-5 wickets) , hard , dry and the equivalent of a fourth day pitch in wear. The season has been a mixed bag though as i've also gone for 110 runs in 10 overs of bowling at...

    nice to see you playing again Dave, a nice solid start to the season. Welcome 10anOver, its always horrible in these cold wet conditions for us Leggies.

    how to get extra spin?

    as Dave said the little skip as he describes it does limit the momentum you carry to and through the crease as your effectively just got the energy of a single step which won't get the ball down the other end as efficiently as you could(unless your built like warne). Other than that your action...

    how to get extra spin?

    first of all stick with your method, i grip the ball a similar way there is no problem with your grip if you are bowling well and turning the ball. Its hard to tell without a video what is wrong regards pace and flight of the ball, most likely if your getting that amount of turn and not getting...

    Doosra Variations?

    carrom ball is just as effective as a doosra mate and you don't have to change your action to bowl it take a look at mendis to see how it is done

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    his lost spin maybe due less pivot or could be if he's just learning making him bowl with a straight approach eh maybe more front on which will make him bowl topspinners instead of legbreaks. Alot of professional leggies do approach from slighty angled run upn, tahir does and warne did to a...

    Help For Batting Timing

    simple things the professionals use to help their timing, throwdowns being the easiest, the england team i know even practice just having the coach drop a cricket ball in front of the batsman and have him hit it to practice the timing of their drives.

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    yeah the pitches have been a bit slow had to bowl a bit flatter and faster and aim for the stumps a bit more with a few more googlies. May have to try and get a new video of my action if we get a few dry days slightly more round arm and fair bit quicker than i was. Main problem is 2 or 3 of...

    Wrist Spin Bowling (part Five)

    The weather here in the UK at the moment is still terrible and its exactly halfway through the season right now, my club has been fairly lucky in terms of games not being abandoned as we have played 8 of our 10 league games though they have all been on soaking wet pitches and we have had rain...

    The Knuckle Ball

    it won't actually do anything with a cricket ball though, if you do release it right with a cricket ball it will come out with no spin. The seam is straight on a cricket ball on a baseball(or tennis ball) the seam is not straight this is the reason that the knuckleball moves- due to the curved...

    Advanced Tactics

    all valid tactics so far, the simplest are generally the best varying pace, flight and using the crease. Varying release position, like bowling a delivery with lower arm so it skids a bit more also is a good tactic.

    Stuart Macgill

    looks like he wasn't picked up by anyone in the IPL auction, don't know if he still can be don't know how that works. Looks like he's pulled out of the bangladesh premier league too due to "irregularities" in the auction.
