Really irritated that it is out of print for guys in the US. Itching to get my hands on it.

Just to answer my own question and perhaps help someone else out - Hard pressed bats for club use - Went with GM Luna ~149$ Bottom heavy. And a GN Predator Rampage ~130$ mid-high swell.

But Jim, a spinner shouldnt be no-balled for a full toss above waist -only for a full toss above shoulder. and in this case, having the short midwicket a little straighter will probably help, if the ball is spinning away, they'll have trouble hitting (flicking, driving) square of wicket on legside.

Congratulations and may you have many more on your way. And you may scoff at slow loopy leg breaks, but I had a discussion with some of our club members and they classified the slow loopy leggie in our team as more dangerous than I am because apparently they feel more confident against him and...

Had a practice match yesterday where the entire club was divided into two teams and played against each other. There was only one keeper available for the match, so I kept wickets for one team. We have a leg spinner(other than myself) in the club and I put him in my team (as he was low on...

I'm sure a few clubs at least would have a common pool of bats which are open to everyone to use. While more serious players do buy their own bats, at university sport, we can't force members to buy their own. So, we are looking at buying at least 2 bats (to add to 3 we have now) for common use...

Such events seem formal and high-brow to me :) Perhaps you could try a fun fair- competition of who hits the stumps maximum times from a given distance? who can tonk the ball farthest? If you can get a speed gun, who bowls fastest etc. That aside, fun games like dunk the clown are also...

Forgive my ignorance - what is siliconlive ?

Ben, I thought of commenting about the music myself, but then let it pass. Thanks for doing it. Best videos are those without any background music. As Dave mentions, we'd like to hear the birds chirping, ball fizzing away (if you've spun it hard enough) etc

Dave, the exercises bit is very helpful- but about collingwood video: I have seen it before (in fact I had sent it to my team mates last year). Unfortunately, it doesn't really explain on how "not to use shoulder".You can follow everything he says and still use only your arms and shoulder to...

Dr.Tran: I've been trying to correct my method of throwing and in fact in the very first session, I told all the members that I will not have any of them throw side-arm or without follow through. That said, throwing with the right technique is so counter-intuitive that I lapse into the bad...

If they are playing everything off the back-foot - and you aren't really bowling short, it means the gaps that you should plug away are midwicket to cover (depending on the line). And typically those are little nudges and pushes that will get them singles. Put in your best fielder at short extra...

I disagree - head over to the ipl and you'll see warne is still the master :p

Forget the doubters spider- keep plugging away. I know all too well how horrible it all felt two seasons ago,(where I even got a wooden spoon award as a shane warne pretender) but that stand start drill from beau casson's video really helped me out. Don't bother about adding pace to your bowling...

Where are you located at? Most of the fundraising events are quite specific to the location. we organize a tennis ball tournament, volunteer in local festivals and the like. Perhaps if you have decent enough players, you can do one-week camp for youngsters too

I have been working on a longer stride in the last two practice sessions we had yesterday and I think that is adding to my pace. But I don't feel that my bowling has caused the rotator cuff problem - I keep going back to that match when I threw a lot of balls in from the boundary and my muscles...

Thanks a lot for the tips Dr.Tran. Thankfully, being a college team, I have inherited a tradition of a lot of banter on field and also a core of 4 players who have played in the last two seasons. A couple of players on the bench last year are expected to step in to the team this year. The...

Dr. Tran - Here are snapshots of my action from last year- Obviously not the best of videos (taken from an iphone) but might serve as a starting point. As you've guessed my bowling stride is very small and I don't really push off my back foot- but if there is anything else you can find out from...

Jim- what you said seems very very relevant to throwing. We need to train a new team this year and for a lot of people the techniques are poor and there is no power in those throws. Liz-If you can let me know some way where we can make everyone use back muscles more, if there are exercises -...

Well, rehab is a bit too much. All I'm doing is some physical therapy. I was told it is one of the cuff muscles that was strained. Last season, in a quarterfinal - I started fielding at the boundary from over 1. Had to fire in at least two throws each over. And finally on one throw I got a run...
