I'm a slow left arm spinner. Having played club cricket for three years and having over-shadowed coaches teaching colts; I think accuracy is more important than how much turn you get as a spin bowler. I can't turn the ball because I bowl with an arm ball grip but it lets me land the ball on the...

Hey guys, I've uploaded a slow mo of my action. Any tips on making it better would really be appreciated thanks.

Left arm spin in a nutshell.

It will take time before they start scoring consistently mate. Also, our bowling isn't that great. Chameera hasn't got great control. T-Kaushal just debuted. Kula will probably get dropped. Lakmal is injury prone. Malinga...well less said the better.

Hi guys, Nice to see some leggies perfecting the art. It's so hard trying to focus on accuracy with this kind of bowling.
