Do any of you have training sessions where you just forget how to bowl spin. I went to the nets with someone yesterday and was just bowling straight breaks with no top spin or turn. Just could not get it right. Felt weird bowling too. Was bowling my meds nicely though lol.

Yup, great variation. Even Nathan Lyon who notoriously has no variations learnt it at some point in his career and uses it effectively now.

It’s way easier to do as an offie, but from my experience trying to do it as a leggy you kind of need to open your hand up and go around the back of the ball. Really hard to do though. Also my Tapatalk works now

Physics ATAR and dash of boredom

Alright so here it is: So as the air hits the rotating ball, the side rotating with the flow (bottom) allows the air to quickly pass over the ball and because of physics, fast air has a lower pressure. The airflow that hits the side rotating against the airflow slows it down and causes it...

Idk whats doing it, but everything loads fine up until that message and then it gives me some kind of string error. Its working on my browser so idk lol.

I think something in Leggy88’s last post has broken my Tapatalk app whenever I try to open this thread. It might be the image. Also I got busy so I haven’t done it yet haha. I’ll do it this afternoon.

It’s very hard to explain in words without making a 3000 word essay and I’m a little busy for an hour or so, but I’ll make you some nice drawings to explain how I *hypothesise* with a large amount of certainty how drift and its interactions work.

Although I’m convinced I had a short period where my seam position on my stock ball was so good that it started swinging against the direction of drift.

Drift is only caused by side spin (Magnus effect), so if you have a ball spinning from leg -> off like a leg break, changing the amount of top or back spin should theoretically only maybe reduce drift slightly. Although a top spinning ball that dips may make it drift later (I’ll explain if you...

Nah bro you’re way better than the bloke I was protecting today [emoji28]

Can I get a fucken bat when I’m not chasing 70+ runs with the worst tailenders you’ve ever seen in your life. I was doing well to keep him off strike by hitting singles at the end of overs, but I don’t have the power to keep the strike rate up at the same time. Ended up edging one to the keeper...

Good thing I’m playing a Sunday match with Chinaman, the other team for my C grade match just forfeited.

Hahaha, so I’m back from injury and into C grade again. I just thought of something and had a look and some stats. Out of my bowling average of 24.8 this season, I average 4 at our home ground’s east oval and 54 everywhere else [emoji88] That 54 includes my 3-17 when I played for Chinaman...

Nope, it’s played like a traditional 1 day game.
