Surely not having protection on the leg side will mean lot's of runs as soon as you drop off a perfect off stump line. You could only do that with extreme confidence.

:confused:

Nets and cricket clubs everywhere, you'll be right.

I thought you were saying that there is such thing as a slider, but it's just a different name for an orthodox backspinner, in the blog post you linked.

Happened to me as well, just have to work harder through it.

I thought it had a combination of backspin and sidespin, but watching Warne's video I'm unsure.

Funky music.

Always buy a Kookaburra. Got marketed to in the mid 2000's with the power hitters like Hayden and Symonds using Gray-Nicolls, while the players I preferred like Hussey, Ponting and Martyn all used Kookaburra's. The brand loyalty stuck.

What happens when you get a bowl next match and get tonked at 10 an over? Is that where the guilt kicks in?

This has helped me. Realised that it's probably my Shane Watson like front foot lunge that prevents me from getting any power on the ball.

That's the plan, and it's what I've been trying to do for the majority of this season. I feel like if I can click and bowl in a game like I do in the nets once, I'll have the confidence to be right for the future. Sometimes I do have people watching that I can ask advice from, but other times...

In the nets I'm fine, I feel like this only happens in matches, which makes it very hard for me to practise. I think I tighten up or get nervous or something, and I just don't feel like I can release the ball.

What does this refer to, and how is it fixed? Think this might be my issue.

Nope. :)

Really? I thought it was obsession with Alan Border that made him switch it up to be a left hander.

Interesting drill. Don't think I'll be able to find someone willing to help me do this though ;)

So I've been having a lot of trouble with my bowling lately, and I was watching this video again and I think I might have picked up on something. At about the 55 second mark, when Warne brings his shoulder over he kind of bends to the left slightly to allow the shoulder to come through. Is this...

It's a good game, there is a definite learning curve though to learn how to bat and bowl properly.

Does anyone have video/links of terrible leg spin bowling? (long hops, double bouncing, wides)

'A' and a bit of 'D'. At my first training session as an 8 year old I was bowling medium dross and the coach asked me if I bowled anything else. I said a bit of leg spin, he saw me bowl a few and said to stick with that. So yes, I was encouraged to bowl spin from the start. I think I kept...
