Re: Are you a seam/swing bowler? I need your feedback In preference order... 1. What bowling action I can feel comfortable with bowling with for the rest of my career - I am always altering it to try to improve it and would like to stop having to do that. 2. How to, as a left arm over...

Re: Rotar cuff exercises First lot of exercises today. 2:00-2:02 hurt like hell, but the rest were okay.

Re: Rotar cuff exercises Okay, three weeks to fix my shoulder. I'll probably be doing some throwing just to see how the progress is. As you know, that is what I mainly use my right arm for, the rest is left arm. Wish me luck...

Re: Rotar cuff exercises Unfortunately, my resistance band is a very simple straight piece of elastic, it does not tie around anything to any success and so those exercises are not possible. Do you have suggestions of exercises or combination of exercises with the dumbells and my resistance...

Re: Rotar cuff exercises Apologies, but I don't think this deserves a separate thread... As some of you know, I have a problem with my right shoulder. I 'did it in' so to speak, a couple years ago and occasionally 'do it in' again while batting, by simply swinging too hard. The pain feels...

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Quadruple post, lol... Had a small bowl in the garden, trying to increase the arm pull (distance between arms at or just after backfoot contact) and it came out quite well, will give it a try at nets tomorrow.

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Had a net session on Wednesday and it went okay but not too good. The bowling was okay but the ball wasn't coming out of my hand right for the beginning of the session and I wasn't getting much bounce. My natural length at the session was too short too and I didn't...

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Had a net session on Sunday afternoon, went pretty poorly but not too bad. I was pretty stiff throughout the session but started consciously trying to complete the action toward the end and it really helped. I was bowling slow, short and getting no bounce beforehand...

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Had a nice 15 minute (approx.) boxing stint just now. It worked quite simply: put a song on, on my Ipod shuffle, box at high intensity until the end of the song, switch stance and repeat until the end of the fourth song. Really felt like a good workout and good to see...

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Nokia N79. It was through a window too, he was actually sitting inside.

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Yes absolutely, tbh, this was just my brother testing out his camera phone - not bad is it?

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Probably will be Saturday, but okay.

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Request to have this moved to Boundary Chat... Did 10 mins of boxing yesterday - first session in a while. Just did the left handed stance, probably should have done both arms and my left lat is rather sore today, but I'll even it up with a right handed session...

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Got a video of me throwing a short distance throw, will have more later, was just my brother testing out his camera phone and I'll get some long distance throws probably by the weekend. YouTube - 17022009006

Re: Topspinner The only idea I can have for an off spinner to bowl a top spinner is to (assuming you are right handed) have your hand on the right hand side of the ball and try to release it with a seam pointing towards the batsman.

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Had a session yesterday, was a bit sore from Sunday but a few deliveries and the soreness went away, which was quite helpful. I bowled at a decent pace, quicker than this time last year, but nothing to write home about. I bowled quite a bit short as I wasn't getting...

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Indeed, I'll start work on the rotator cuff on Thursday. I have some nets tomorrow and want to rest up for them (still a bit sore from nets on Sunday - especially the left shoulder, which is the bulk of my pace) but after these nets I have half term which is a good...

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Tbh, this issue is that there really is generally no pain - the issue is intermittant weakness or pain when I really 'do it in'. I can't tell them exactly where it hurts, so it is hard to get specifics to my physio - who I haven't seen in a while btw.

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 Yes. Extremely unusual, I know but I simply cannot throw with my left arm, no matter how much practice I put in.

Re: FBI Pre Season 2008/9 That PM was fascinating, thanks for that. The physio could not help with the shoulder injury as there appeared to be nothing wrong to her and so she could not fully understand the problem. Basically, the injury first happened when I was batting in the nets last...
