This is something to avoid mate, don't be trying to work on multiple things at once picking yourself apart like this. You'll go loopy. Focus on the positives and quietly and assiduously work on one thing at a time. Mostly everything looks in good order with your bowling, keep your run up to...

I would not advocate different arm heights with your different deliveries, you'll find the wrong un is actually quite easy to delivery from a rounder arm and you'll get it to spin more in fact. When you want to bowl a googly just drop that left shoulder a little and bob's your uncle. It will...

Dave has got it exactly right here mate, you just need to feel like you're almost bowling a malinga style delivery your arm is so horizontal then when you watch the film back you'll be surprised how much higher it still was than you thought it could possibly be. Try going for a feeling of your...

Hi Tom, it's been ages since I've been on here but I've started taking my bowling a bit more seriously again and started coming back on the forum. Your bowling looks very decent indeed, lots of promise, but the one thing that stands out for me is that you have a very high arm and I think this...

Last time I saw rashid bowl it was in the BBl a good while ago and his bowling looked okay but it was a very much back to basics approach, no variation other than a very flat front of the hand/off break sort of thing. Clearly designed just for 20/20 to keep things tight and simple. He was ruined...

Alright chaps nice to be back! Looks like there's a few new people on here these days, Dave what's happening over at spin bowling boards? There's a load of kitchen sales threads?! I think it's pretty clear borthwick ain't gonna cut the mustard sadly. Lovely to see some leg breaks being bowled...

What spamming is this Dave? sorry I'm a bit behind here obviously! I quite like the idea of moving on somewhere else, a forum purely for spin bowling would be great but obviously that needs to be maintained and all that jazz, I'd do it myself if i had any clue where to begin. If you look at how...

I think that's a pretty harsh statement from them, especially considering they're not the best judges of spin bowling in the world. Tahir tries to make the most of what he's got, he took a pretty crucial wicket to dismiss Bairstow, one that conceivably could have saved the game and the series...

Another leg spinner whose star has waned, why can't we get any who stick around for a while!

cool, be interesting to see what he comes back with. He strikes me as just the kind of bloke who might write a book one day in the grand old tradition of the more erudite leg spinners. A la Grum, Warwick Armstrong, Tiger O'Reilly, Benaud, Philpott. Its high time one of the more recent generation...

Here's a video I found of Bryce McGain, Shame he didn't get a longer run in the Test side. I thought the Aussie boards treatment of the bloke was pretty shocking to be honest.

do elaborate Dave! what did you ask him/he have to say??

Don't know if you guys have seen this one before, lot of stuff you've not doubt seen before but all put together into a package with some talking heads. I personally can never get enough so I found it a good way to spend an hour! also today I had Stuey Macgill start following me on youtube, how...

Same thing occurred to me, even though its a freak accident I wondered whether Tahir might be thinking to himself "If I just hadn't bowled that bosie..." Terrible thing to happen, but I'm amazed he wasn't wearing a helmet which may have prevented this happening. But then again its such a freak...

I can't see this video, can anyone else?

don't lose heart Dave, you're only ever one session away from finding some form. I just try to forget bad practice sessions these days, i don't worry about how much i was turning it or anything like that; whereas i used to linger on them horribly. the more I agonised the worse i bowled the next...

Do have a lot of time for these videos; shame he doesn't mention the arm very much. these kids arms are so high, too high in fact. if you look at the Warne delivery at the end of that video that gets the bat behind his pads, he demonstrates what for me is the perfect arm position, allows for...

the the arm ball is a very definite delivery bowled in a very specific way, just watch that cloverdale video and they show you exactly how to do it. its all about the angle of the seam.

Just catching up on the cricket highlights from today's play and watching them analyse Graeme Swann's bowling. They're focusing on the ball he bowled to Darren Bravo which was a right beauty, a near perfect example of a classic arm ball. Yet they are calling it a slider. Why are they doing...

I bowled an OBS by accident yesterday evening, went for a big square turner and it just went straight on and even came in a bit like a googly. the batsman is a guy who knows my bowling really well cause I've bowled at him so much, he looks for my pinky sticking up, and he looked up at me and...
