Ok. If I say I believe you will you calm down? How old you are, Chino?

Lol. Of course you did.

Do you mean the posts that were deleted by the mods? If you say so, son.

This poor Chino lad has had his posts removed for trolling. Think of all the time he wasted typing out all that nonsense.

I read the first paragraph, got to the bit where you're so dumb you don't even know what type of spin I bowl, and gave up. I have better things to do than read your childish rants, sorry.

I understand why you want to believe that your style of bowling is the hardest. It helps to massage your ego when your ******** up. If it's so hard, why don't you bowl finger spin? If its so easy, you'll get a tenfer every game, won't you?

A lot of people just unthinkingly repeat the same nonsense over and over again. Doesn't make it true. The idea that one form of bowling is harder than another is logically impossible.

Lol, classic spot of circular reasoning

I know, but Graeme swan is an idiot. He doesn't really have any specialist knowledge here, he is just repeating what he heard elsewhere. I doubt if he is even a qualified coach. If he was agreeing with me I'd be worried.

99% of the time*, moving your feet is simply a means to an end, the end in this case being to get your head and arms into the ideal position to hit the ball. That might be front foot or back foot, straight bat or cross bat, off side or leg side. As a general rule: The slower the bowling, the...

That seems the opposite to the view of most professional commentators, who have pointed out how effective bowlers like Narine, Ashwin, Jadeja, Badree, Shakib, Santner etc are in T20 cricket, despite not really turning the ball a huge amount. Good control, good pace, and mastery of subtle...

And two weren't - Underwood and Kumble - but still got incredible amounts of wickets. Most batsmen find that the more the ball turns, the easier it is to play, because lbw is no longer a threat. The perfect spinners delivery turns 6 inches.

Each pair bats for a set number of overs. So if you are playing 8 aside, then you would have four pairs who each bat for four overs, say, to make a sixteen over game. If you lose a wicket, you lose five runs, but the batsmen just swap ends. Weaker batsmen improve their skills quicker by...

Boundaries in junior cricket are normally well below 45 metres - more like 30 to 35 metres. At the younger level - up to U12s, they play pairs cricket. You find that the more marginal players end up facing more deliveries this way, and improve a lot more over the course of the season as a...

You're improving at a small fraction of the rate one might expect a bowler to improve - as far as it goes, this is your time you're wasting and therefore your business - but just be careful at giving anything that could be construed as advice - you should probably make a signature that appears...

I don't think I've ever been anything other than completely friendly and helpful - and often I get no thanks at all. What do you want us to do? Lie and tell you that you are going to improve using the incorrect practice methods you are currently utilising? Do you not think that would be...

http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/20628966/evolving-nathan-lyon-clears-all-doubts Nice article on Lyon - particularly some of the quotes from Smith about how he is able to vary his bowling in different pitch conditions, using some of the basic spinners' variations, mixing topspin, sidespin...

Because the ground is wet and would ruin cricket balls?

How would a plastic ball reduce shoulder stress? Just because a ball is lighter does not mean the stress on your shoulder is reduced. In fact, switching between balls of different weights, particularly when done at high volumes, is more likely to cause injury. Given that you're not interested...

mmmmm.. What's wrong with cricket balls? Remember the golden rule is to keep practice as close to match conditions as possible. Wherever possible, bowl with real cricket balls, on a real pitch, with a real run-up, against a real batsman. Unless you're planning on playing in some indoor cricket...
