Hmm, also another tip: try and overcompensate when trying the leg break. So instead of thinking like you are going to bowl one that spins at a 45 degree angle, 50/50 topspin and sidespin, imagine you are trying to bowl one that spins at a 90 degree angle, pure sidespin. Hopefully that should get...

For the videos, I would try getting one from the angle from behind the stumps, one from behind your bowling action (umpires view basically), and maybe one from side on. That should be sufficient.

That's very good especially for a young bowler.

Wow, thats a great spell. How does she usually get her wickets?

Yeah, must say there's hardly anything of substance about flippers, if it wasn't for yours and Warne's videos I'd have no clue how to bowl them. Do the topspinning flippers come out very slow and loopy?

Wow, those are some pretty good stats, shows that the flipper only approach can work. Very interesting to see.

I actually feel the only thing that makes it harder for me is the accuracy, I'm a little less accurate to lefties which is only natural. But the thing is if I get it right I find it easier to get them out because if they miss, I hit, whereas if a righthander misses a legbreak it will most likely...

Wow Dave, well done! Clutch bowling performance - I called it, knew you'd get a five fa soon enough! It looked like you were bowling mostly flippers, right? Most of your wickets were bowled too so that's pretty good.

Yeah, I'm actually hoping England win this one so it can be 2-2 going to the final test.

Yep, it's been a great series so far, I've loved it. Surely England can't come back from 2-0 down haha.

Nice, hopefully you can bag a couple fifers!

Sorry to hear that man. Legspinners are always getting the most hate when things go wrong for them to be honest. It's a tough job.

Yeah true, that's when you can actually get the cool wickets like edging to slip and stuff instead of just getting catches at long on.

I play U18s and have been lucky that around 80% of catches off my bowling are taken, its a pretty high standard of cricket.

Well yeah I've actually found that the white ball drifts and dips more for some reason but doesn't turn as much? Maybe it's just easier to see drift and dip with the white ball? Maybe the white ball is softer and on the hard, syntho pitches it can't grip as much? But out of all these theories I...

Damn, if only your team took more catches, you would have taken bags of wickets in virtually every game!

Yeah, I find most batsmen don't watch the hand much and just play off the surface so the googly could be a great weapon. Also, do your googlies turn more than your leggies by any chance? PS: On a related note, Rehan Ahmed is in the English test squad, and he has a googly that turns more than...

Yeah, I try and do hand to hand practice once every two days or so, as I get better at it I've found the flipper comes out with more backspin revs, at least hand to hand. Also, when I do bowl the flipper though, it has around 80% backspin and 20% offspin, as it is really hard to get your hand in...

Yeah true, thanks for the reminder. Usually I like to stick to bowling 2 or 3 leggies for every variation I bowl, so I might bowl 2-3 leggies and then throw in one googly/flipper depending on what I'm working on. I think that's the sweetspot, as you do need to accumulate enough frequent volume...

Sounds like you did alright apart from a couple bad balls. I reckon I probably need a lucky charm too haha like you. On a side note, I've realised that my googlies come out much loopier and slower than my leggies? Any advice to get them a touch flatter and faster, has anyone else dealt with...
