Nice one Dave, 7 overs! Youll have to take plenty of confidence out of that

Definately do a tour of Lords. Its a great experience,seeing the Long room the away change rooms and players balcony and loads more and its surprisingly cheap.

Why do (insert hated football team) fans stink. So blind people can hate them too!

Your action looks very easy and natural though. I think you get side on ok I couldnt pick what you meant by that.

When I bowl I consiously use my leading arm to really pull my body forward to get over the front leg. Starting with the arm high and getting it to draw the biggest radius I can with it, then as the arm comes down and starts to go backwards I get it to pull against the braced front leg and then...

Hi TCS Good to see you back here. Hows cricket going in the U S of A? I find myself lapsing into the same problem as you now and again. I have a weak back leg as high esteem has pointed out with you too. I really struggle with it but I have found I can get some compensation with a really strong...

Yep

Ok so up front this isnt a leg spin video, but its not every day you can claim to be a better batsman than an ex England captain. Huh!!! Whats he on about?? Well I came across this video completely by chance the other day about Goldsborough CC in Yorkshire who were bowled out by Dishforth for 5...

Thanks to Doctortrans tips this is what I have put together, even though at times I didnt understand some things the more I practised and thought about them things started to fall into place.

Ive obviously neglected the front arm and braced front leg for this. I see the front arm as an extra lever to help the power go up the right side of the body and the braced front leg as the anchor to pull against and over. It took me a long time to work out that I was really only bowling with my...

From here the power starts. The toes start pushing up, the ankle, then the knee straightens then the hips start to open up, the torso and upper body open up in response to the hips, the shoulder rotates then the arm goes with it, until finally the cocked wrist straightens and this whole train of...

Shrek I noticed a little pause too and I find that when I "pause" on my back leg landing I get better rhythm. Ive thought about this a lot and I see it this way. The pause isnt actually a pause, just a slight delaying of the action so everything works in coordination. I think of the bowling...

Haha yeah I remember hearing about the drought earlier in the year!! Watching wimbledon and the one dayers in London you wouldnt know its been such a bad summer. I'll be up in the Yorkshire Dales, eee by gum! I'll possibly be down in London on a course for a while though. Hey if I was captain...

Whats going on over there in pommyland Dave. My old team has had 7 of 11 saturday games washed out this season. I got my Visa finally so we are heading over there at the end of August, might even get a couple of games in if Im lucky!!
