Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) As a leggie who has recently got over(touching wood) this plague I can attest that it is no fun at all. I might've tried bowling a googly all of 10-12 times in the last one month of practice and I'm not really bothered that googly has lost the amount of turn...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) I kept wickets for my team for more than half the matches last year with regular keeper injured. But this year, I told my team up front -there is no way I'll keep. "Play me as a batsman, give me a bowl or not , but there is no way I'll keep" mainly because...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Great going jim! I do agree with macca that true leggies should be able to get it to spin on any surface. But, did you observe if the nip off the wicket decreased when you bowled on that flat wicket ? In the sense, nowadays in international cricket...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Damn! I messed up my chance again. In swinging conditions, we went from 19/3 to 163/10 in 35 overs, aided in part by my seeing off the new ball at one drop but getting out to a legside nick to keeper. With the opponents going easy at 117/5, we needed...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Didnt get a bowl *again*. We batted first and I bat one drop taking the team from 9-1 to 115/3 before I got out trying to force the pace off an off-spinner - caught at mid-off trying to hit against the wind - made a decent 41 and we ended up on a total of...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Brilliant session last evening, easily the best I've bowled so far. Without the batsman in the frame, just used chalk to draw on the concrete pitch a rough patch of the good length area between off stump and 10inches outside leg stump. Decided that I was only...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) If by overspin and topspin we mean the same thing, we should expect it to bounce up, not stay low and shoot through like a flipper does.

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Didn't get a bowl today either. Shot them out for 139 with our off spinners taking 7 between them. And then it was our turn to face the music. Started off decently, then wickets tumbled 30/2, 38/3, 38/4, But another bloke and I held things up very well...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Bad game for me personally today, Rain kept threatening all day long and I didn't get a bowl even after our one and a half offies had the other batsmen tying themselves in knots - and we shot them out for 130 off 30 overs. Went in to bat at one drop with...

Re: Question on Wides That's exactly the point an admin made earlier- for all practical purposes, the offstump and legstump shall be denoted by the stance taken at the start of bowler's runup. Whatever may be the favoured side(even if he is an LHB originally but has taken a stance as...

Re: The Off-Spinning Flipper Revisiting this, I wonder if it is apt to call it a flipper in the first place? There is hardly any backspin on it. All of the spin on it (whatever be the method used to impart it ) is in the sideways direction similar to a fastish off break. I also believe that...

Re: Hey, Leggies! Dave, look on the left hand side below the last post in the thread- you should see a post reply button. Use that to get reply to thread. You wont be able to post the images etc if you hit quick reply.

Re: Question on Wides Err no, If you are left handed and have initially take a right handed stance, why will the bowler bowl down the legside (for RHB) in the first place? that will be quite stupid (and negative) won't it ? Bowl it wider on the offside for RHB, as soon as he switches it...

Re: Video of me left arm orthodox No, the reference is ground. Wherever your head may be, get the reference from ground. 12o clock is perpendicular to the ground- what you are bowling is between 9 and 10 almost parallel to ground.

Re: Need professional coaching advice? The pitchvision articles on spotting weaknesses in technique etc are really good. Problem is that I can't find them again - there are no archives no direct links , The only way I can find them is by going to comments on the how to spin better post...
