Wrist Spin Bowling

[Virendersingh.berthwal]

Hi Luke,

I saw ur video;looks good.
If u can shoot it from the keeper's end on the 22 yards then it will give a much more clearer picture of ur bowling starting from your run-up,bowling stride and follow thru.

If possible shoot it at the practice nets of 2-3 deliveries.
Shoot it from the keeper's end from shoulder level.

hi dave, looks pretty good would be nice to see one full speed as well though.

I'll get the full speed versions on there, but it was a bit slippery so there's not a lot of oomph in it. Give me a couple of days.

the wrong'un looks gd dave (Y)


Merry xmas Every1!!

The wrong un's the one I can bowl easily. It's the Leg Break I want to be able to do! I'll get some real time one uploaded as well. I can do flatter as well - it's just where this was shot it's a bit slippery so they're fairly slow deliveries. Virender has requested some shots in the nets, when I can get to our net sessions I'll do some there as well - hopefully they'll be better as there'll be some grip.

You doing good Dave. I've seen some of your video's and even though I'm a pace bowler myself I know that you hitting good areas and getting a decent amount of rip on the ball.

Top Bowling, and your wrong'un is just as good.

Cheers you blokes for the comments! Leggie Law your suggestions here -

"may i suggest...

That you stand side on wiv a ball in cocked wrist position towards the stumps. Then go through a routine of non bowling arm towards target whilst bringing ur bowling arm around and ultimately releaseing the ball at about 10-11 o clock this is crucial with you want to bowl a ripping leg break tht you must bowl at 11 o clock.
also as your bowling arm comes round make sure the WHOLE face of the ball is facing the batsmen for a leg break.
I watched ur vid and ur release point is 12 o clock which is the release point for a googly.
Hope this helps

Btw i have my thumb on the ball for a leg break and slider and flipper yet have the thumb off the ball for the googly and top spinner, this finger change sumhow makes me bowl what i want.
as i cant bowl a leg break wiv my thumb off the ball lol"

This is interesting especially the 10 o'clock - 11 o'clock bit - last October when I stopped bowling my wrong uns and started to work on getting the Leg Break back I did notice that when it came together and I was able to get the ball to spin towards slips, but the way I described at the time was that my hand seemed to stay in contact with the ball a lot longer and it was the trailing fingers that imparted the spin at the last moment - which basically equates to what you've said here - the release is quite a bit later - 10/11 o'clock as you've said! The other thing I said was because of this the timing becomes increasingly more critical there's a tendency to do the classic 'Dragging the ball down'. This all makes ver much sense and I look forward to getting in the nets soon and maybe putting some of this into practice - but I'm hoping to improve my batting as well so I'm not sure how much bowling I'll be doing. I'll post videos if I get to work on it.

my cricket coach just told me i will be having training with colin millers former coach

[someblokecalleddave]

Had to look that up to see why you're getting so excited - Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Colin Miller yeah - that sounds like a result mate! Let us know how you get on and what drills he puts you through?

[Paul#10]

ha yeah i will. it should be sweet

[someblokecalleddave]

One of the things you could ask him or someone esle on here could answer for me is this - Have a look at this link first - Cricket Coaching Online - Example Lesson if you get to the page with the video clip options click on the 'Sample lesson' video and watch it. The bloke on the video clip is talking about finger spin rather than wrist spin - but I'm interested in the drill he's talking about the follow through and keeping the leg that comes over and round along the line so that the rotation is 180 degrees. He suggests that you do it along a line on a rugby pitch to learn the drill. The question I want answered is - would this apply to wrist spinners and is something you all do correctly? I've looked at my own video clips

YouTube - Someblokecalleddave front slow motion

And I rotate more than 180 degrees. I've just looked at Gunalf's video - YouTube - me bowling short run and I reckon you've got some work to do on this as well mate!

Whereas my son Joe aged 7 seems to be doing this okay! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=y9zU7W...e=channel_page
