Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Starting my run up with push off from left foot- So, I always counted odd number of steps from the bowling crease to top of run up. I don't understand how it makes a difference. Could you please explain ? I've been playing for years, but have taken up...

Re: Video of me left arm orthodox I think one suggestion would be to try and bowl with a higher arm. Right now, you are bowling with arm level at your shoulder (almost), Try getting it up higher - say 11 o clock at least. And I had a cutout of an old interview of Prasanna (Errapalli)...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) In my last session I bowled with a slightly different wrist flick compared to what I had been doing so far. Until now, my wrist action could be described as being closest to round the loop flick that dave has up on his videos. It almost always resulted in...

Re: Taking Care of your spinning finger I doubt it has to do with lack of veggies in my diet, I'm a vegetarian with a softspot for spinach after all. But, I take your point regards to sugars. Let me cut back on the sugar intake and see how it goes.

Re: Video of me left arm orthodox Dave you got him mixed up with me. I'm the one in Lafayette, Indiana. We have a university team that plays in the local league, but I could answer these questions just as well. In the midwest region we've got two major leagues -http://midwestcricket.org/...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Yeah it happens, when I'm well set, I can see the direction of rotations on the ball and the seam. I have to concentrate very well to do that. It happened today, when I was facing a good offspinner, (although I would say he is a chucker, he's got the most...

Re: Taking Care of your spinning finger Been using manuka honey umf 16 each night for a while now. it isn't as effective for me. And it seems like the callus isn't fully formed yet. I still get cuts at the place where callus meets normal skin on the finger and I don't know if that'll ever...

Re: Hey, Leggies! Pure sidespin although looks great out of the hand, is rarely effective. Most deliveries have some amount of topspin on them. Young spinners are told to have the seam point in the direction of slips or third man, not to point. So that you get some bounce and like you...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Yes seam doesn't matter, but the direction of rotation does. Maximum magnus effect is caused when the axis of rotation is parallel to the wind direction. So when the wind isnt blowing directly into your bowling, you might produce greater drift with a...

Re: Terry Jenner news Jim, I'm not sure if I have understood correctly. Could you please put up a couple of pictures showing the contrast in two grips?

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) GA, I totally understand your frustation at the situation. Last season, we had people turning up without trying in a few matches that really got my goat. But, even then, I wouldn't look at it as "taking one for the team". After all, a few stats aren't going...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Alright, the board is looking a bit deserted, perhaps from all the games you guys are playing which makes my itch to get out there even worse. I had a decent bowl today -bowled for nearly 2 hours and as I was the only bowler I must've got in atleast 16-17...

Re: Taking Care of your spinning finger The skin on my finger has started to tear again. Wondering if anyone has tried products like these : Amazon.com: 100% Active 20+ Sterile Australian Manuka Honey Wound Management: Health & Personal Care Perhaps easier to carry around?

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) I didnt get to go out to the pitch last evening. But, I went to the tennis courts to play a game of tennis. There I realized that a tennis court is an ideal practice setting to learn control over length. So, as soon as the game was over, started bowling...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Indiana, USA.

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) I've got it in the mail today and in spite of being in the middle of a busy day, I rolled my arm over for an over on concrete. First impressions - quite impressive. It bounces nicely, has a pronounced seam so you get good grip on it (although ball is...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Good stuff there. nice to know you had them hopping tied into knots. Stay with it and let us hope you get to bowl with more freedom for your club. I had the first bowl of the season today. Just went out with my captain to the pitch and picked up a...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) I've observed something a little quirky about all the active members on this thread - almost all of us have joined during or after spring/onset of summer 2009. It seems a lucky coincidence. Of course, Dave is the senior here - having joined in 2007

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Your point about slow left armers in general might be right, but then so is the case with leggies these days - rashid(UK) , chawla (IN), Bandara (SL), white (AUS), even mcgain dont spin it a lot. You need to look at the best bowlers over time - bedi, maninder...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Not to sound fretful, but don't you bowl even one full toss (or even a half volley) an over when you are looking to pitch up ? When I bowl to batsmen here, I cannot afford to go without a mid on and mid off or I'd be taken for at least 10 an over easily...
