dreadful news! http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/mar/09/imran-tahir-injury-cricket-world-cup

cracking watching Tahir so far. Yesterday he bowled beautifully to the Dutch. Got one chap tied up in knots with just about the perfect wrong un and then he bowled a terrific flipper to trap another LBW. And here I was thinking we'd never see another decent bowler of flippers again! He's not...

glad to see this video has reappeared, great to hear about tactics for once rather than technique.

Brilliant, and terrifyingly accurate.

haha, I thought how bloody long winded my version was! you said the same things as me in half the time! I'm such a waffler:)

generally this is how it begins, you have a go and somehow it seems to work satisfactorily, enough to make you think about taking it up; but this is something of a false dawn. this is the point where you have to make a big commitment. No half hearters ever made it as a leggie because now the...

gotta agree with most of this. the scrambled seam is just unforgivable for even a county level leggie. and the fact he's resorted to using a bloody off break as a variation is the same as admitting his leg breaks not good enough and that he can't master the more difficult variations BUT he did...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX-eknqRhh8&feature=feedu i'm sure you'll all find this fairly fascinating. looks like Rashid has decided that the only variations he needs are the googly and an off break! pretty effective as well, even if he still isn't quite getting it right all the time.

judging from the haircut and the shirt sponsor I would say 2005.

couple of things i've spotted on cricinfo this evening, firstly an interview with Stuey MacGill: http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/497005.html Always interesting to hear from him, even if there's not much of interest in there. Apart from further muddying of the waters of the...

yeah i can't really disagree with that, i need that forgiveness because i can't bat perfectly! even the pros have to give themselves a chance early on. i remember aussie cricketer Rodney Hogg saying that Graeme Pollock used to bat 'like a busted arse' until he hit thirty, then when he started...

Fair play! thats the way to give em some stick back, i am guilty of sledging myself back in my uni days (it was quite vicious cricket with a lot of chat) but i really hate copping it myself and i don't do it anymore unless its good natured or part and parcel of my bowling (i.e enticing someone...

mega lol, baby oil.

Thought I'd post up some pictures of the alternative to the Mongoose, have to say this bat really is a thing of beauty. the pick up is feather light and the size of the thing has to be seen to be believed. its 2.9, 10 grains. the other bats are a Redback Allegiance 2.9 all heartwood 17 grains...

you can always ask! might as well have a chat about it even if you don't focus on it during the bulk of the lesson. i mean how many people do you meet who would a) give a shit and b) actually have something interesting to say about the subject.

sounds fantastic you lucky swine, wish I had a leg spin coach so close. sounds like he really knows what he's on about as well. good to see he's getting you arm lower, you'll be so satisfied when you start seeing it rip consistently. can't wait to see what he has to say about variations in the...

This field looks to me like its set up with the googly and topspinner very much at the forefront of his mind.
