Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) For me it's just practice, to bowl the ball slower but still to give it a real rip is tricky, because its so easy to drag it down or bowl a full toss. It's well worth the bothering with though, because they're difficult to play as they just drop shorter than...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Got to say I think you're being a bit harsh on Rashid! First this seam position thing- Murali bowls every single delivery with a scrambled seam, and his deliveries turn very consistently and he can turn the ball miles! So as long as there's side spin on the ball...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Yeah I can imagine it looks strange coming out, would definately confuse the batsmen. I don't think i would be able to bowl it well. My arms pretty low so i can get a lot of side spin, but can't get my wrist round far enough for a googly, and it sounds like you'd have to...

Re: New Video Of Action I agree with Liz, I definately didn't mean for you to copy Holding or marshall's actions, I just wanted to show how big the step they take after delivery. If you look at any modern international bowler, they all have a big exit stride as well. This might help you...

Re: New Video Of Action Looks like you've got a very nice whip-like action, and the pace looks good as well. You could work on your first stride after you release the ball. You seem to slow down quite a bit once you've released the ball, and the stride you take with your right leg just...

High density foam batting pads Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy some new batting pads (as it's the end of season here and there are some bargains around!) I like these high density foam pads, but was wondering if they last as long as traditional pads? I'm happy to pay a bit more for them...
