Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Played my first final today. We bowled first (in very overcast condition). I came on after 20 overs, and had them in all sorts of trouble. they were a couple of sloggers, but they couldnt get bat on any of my balls. i had 0/3 after 5 overs. i eventually...

The mental side of batting This is what i struggle with. the mental side of batting. I have the technique, the bowlers never worry me. I score at a decent pace. But i always lose my concentration. How do you combat losing concentration when batting? I regularly get out to soft shots. I dont...

Re: World Test Team Of The Decade 1. Hayden 2. Sehwag 3. Ponting 4. Tendulkar 5. lara 6. Kallis 7. Gilchrist 8. Flintoff 9. Warne 10. Murali 11. McGrath Middle order picks itself, the openers and pace attack a lot harder. Was between Dravid (normally not an opener but where...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) It was more skiddy, it just turned a lot. I did the ball 3-4 times and it did the same thing every time. Spin a lot and stay low. And my ball is wrecked, it is really worn, so maybe the rough surface is gripping.

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) yea i did that the next day when we bowled and i got 5 overs 0/12 when i deserved at least 3/12

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) hey guys, just a quick few questions and an update on my progress. First the questions. When bowling the topspinner should the seam be upright or scrambled? and also back to the thread (wrist spin bowling part 2), it was mentioned that to get one that...

Is it right? Should i have to change my batting style for the team even though i am the teams best batsmen and the way that i used to go was very successful? I used to be a grafter of runs, even though i have most of the shots, i didnt score very quickly, but i rarely got out. We got a new...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) Yea i think my wrist position changes when i bowl the flighted one. I dont change the seam position often, and the revs on the ball are more top spin then side spin i think. in regards to hitting the stumps every delivery, i definately dont try to do...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) I dont give my big leg-break much flight, as i just rip it. The problem is that the big leg break turns right past off stump, on a good length. When i bowl the top spinner, i get too much bounce and i dont have a reliable small leg-break at them moment. So i...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) Thanks for the tips. Now that i have some more information, i have decided to not bowl the flipper. I will instead work on bowling the delivery jim talked about, changing the grip. My legspin in coming on quite nicely, as i took a wicket in the 2nd XI team at...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) I have a leg break which a constantly work on, but which spins too much, and my smaller leg break bounces too much. my top spinner bounces too much as well. So i cannot hit the stumps (which is the most common form of dismissal at my level) or get an lbw. I...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) Hey guys, i have been trying for about a month now (patience i know), and i cant even get close to bowling a flipper. any advice would be appreciated, i may be doing everything wrong so probably best to start from the start.

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) Do you think that it would be an advantage or a disadvantage for a big leg-break to be my stock ball?? it is definately the ball i have the most control over, and the one i get the most out of.

Re: Choosing the Right Shot for Right Ball Well, the most important thing about this is that you are not playing at balls that you shouldnt, and you are hitting balls that should be hit. it should be obvious which ones to hit (half volleys, full tosses half-trackers). The ones to defend should...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) hey all, i just thought i would update my progress. I got phillpots book, which is very helpful. i am now achieving body drive, and a lot of revs on the ball consequently. Just a question, i was thinking abotu what would be more useful as a stock ball. The big...
