Hey Mate, I saw that you had a session with Ray Bright. I have had a few sessions with him a couple of seasons ago and would like a few more for the coming seasons. Do I just ring the cricket centre to get in touch with him or do I need his personal details? Thanks, Paul

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Just by watching from side-on he is slower then Steve Smith and gives the ball more air, he spins it a little more then Smith but is probably a bit more inaccurate. One difference is that where Smith's bad ball is usually a half-tracker when Boyce bowled a...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) I went to the MCG today to watch a bit of the Sheffield Shield final between Victoria and Queensland. Queensland have a young (20 years) leg-spinner by the name of Cameron Boyce and he picked up 2 wickets today, he is a little bit slower through the air then...

Re: NMCA Juniors 09/10 We got 142, Rivergum got 142. They go through because they are higher on the ladder.

Re: NMCA Juniors 09/10 Excellent point there Breeno, must not get complacent.

Re: Ricky Ponting So you think that someone who averages 55 with the bat doesn't value his wicket?

Re: NMCA Juniors 09/10 Calm down Daniel. I reckon 4s would be around the same standard as A Grade now that Rosebank and Camrea have left.

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) Steve Smith is one bloody good bowler, our young spinners look good (Holland, Smith). We just have to develop them. I also like the leggie from Queensland Dan Doran, bowls the odd bad ball but he really spins it.

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) What do you mean by my arm beating the ball? I will have another video of my bowling up by tonight so you guys can have a look at my action.

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) I have recently been having the problem of overpitching a lot of deliveries and was trying a method where I really try and load up on the back foot in the delivery stride when I am getting my front-arm up. Then pushing up and onto my front leg and I am still...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) I have recently video-taped my bowling from side on and found that my front knee bends in the delivery instead of being braced. If I fix it and start bowling with a braced straight knee, what kind of benefits will I get?

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) This has nothing to do with leg-spin. But do any of the English guys on this thread know a Lancashire fast-bowler Oliver Newby? Because he will be playing at my club this summer in Australia and is arriving in about a month.

Re: my leg spin bowling - slow motion video analysis I think that your action looks sound, apart from your front arm. You need to get much more out of it and also have it pointing up to the sky then pulling down, now just twisting off to the side.

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling Well this is how it works in Victoria, not sure how in other states. If you are a decent player you will play in under 14s, 16s or 18s for your region. You will play in a two week carnival against all of the other regions (metro and country) and from this they pick the...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling This post is not about leg-spin bowling. But I was wondering how the County selection works in England. Because I have heard that it is very much a lot different to state cricket in Australia
