Where's the link mate?

I I think as we saw in the final whitewash tour down under he could still bowl with the bone spurs floating around in there but it was mighty painful bowling that many overs and he'd just lost that extra 10% of venom that he needed to really trouble the top level batsmen. I'd love to have...

@Cleanprophet there you go, its without question his own version of the flipper. It makes me laugh how many people are befuddled when people bowl something like this. I'm on another forum where people had convinced themselves it was just an off spinner that went straight on etc.. and just...

I thought Shaun pollock still looked like he played every week, albeit at a lower level. Akram hasn't lost his swing either has he! You could see Warne and murali were really shadows of their former selves though, even with a bit of practice. The only spinner who looks like he's kept on working...

Good shout, next time we film I'll get him to do that. And try and use a slightly newer ball. Might include a few variations just for fun at the end as well. My flipper has been coming out really nicely of late. Couple of them have actually started to get that nasty drift into the batsman and a...

Could well be, but I think it's also that I'm just thinking quite hard about everything as I'm coming in to bowl and not quite moving with unconscious freedom. Could take me weeks even a couple of months to bowl exactly how I want with freedom and really get through my action completely.

I really can't see the seam at all in the video the ball is just too old and dark. Generally though I have no problem with side spin, I've had captains tell me I spin it too much sideways which always makes me scratch my head. I kind of get what they're saying that if you're moving it more than...

My coach has started filming me during training sessions so I've just edited together a few deliveries on iMovie to see what you guys think. My bowling had got really sloppy the last couple of seasons as my batting overtook it so I'm working on some basics to try and get it back up to scratch...

Yeah the shape on the ball looks great but there's a huge falling away almost into the side netting that's going to make consistency difficult. Think you've pretty much just got to think about pulling that lead arm into the ribcage/left thigh and following through strongly towards the batsman...

Have you got any footage of you going flat out?

Is this you going full out or holding back just for the sake of practice? and Dave what happened to Macca? He was the best person on here by miles, I can't see any posts from him recently.

yeah he was bowling beautifully, I've always been a fan of him he's quite underrated. We're really being spoilt for wrist spin at the moment, Rashid and Yasir, Tahir and Mishra. Its just a shame the aussies and kiwi's didn't pick Ish Sodhi and Fawad Ahmed or we'd have a full house!

I have to confess I actually really like Bob, he's quite a character. I feel the same about Boycs, grumpy old men are just hilarious and I think a lot of Bobs comments are quite tongue in cheek but he's just so dry it's hard to tell when he's doing it. Anyone who used to sneak off at the end of...

I was watching the verdict on sky sports from yesterday and they showed this! He really does look the real deal I think.

Good find, does one exist for the rashid session?! Warne still makes that flipper look so easy . Mushys wasn't bad either! Never saw him bowl that when he was still playing.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan-v-england-2015-16/content/story/935041.html I tweeted at warne to see what it was he told him, not hopeful of a reply but worth a go!! He worked with yasir a day or two beforehand as well. Said he has the best leg break he has ever seen which to be honest I...

Ah that rubbishes that theory then, I'd love to know what the technical stuff was warne said they worked on. I'm convinced his arm is lower in this test and he does seem to be revving it more.

That was like an in ducker! Warnes advice obviously working, his arms definitely got lower since they spoke hasn't it.

Fair enough I always say if it ain't broke don't fix it. get some higher quality vids up so we can have a proper look mate. I'm going to film myself at training tonight if I can too.

Looks pretty good to me! Pace on the ball looks decent too, can't really see very well as you're so far away but you look like another one with quite a high arm. But you have quite a quick arm action and bouncy run up so it complements what you're doing. I'd guess that you struggle to turn it...
