With the commentators going on and on about the size of monty's hands, I tried to find actual measurements. Here's the only article I found on it http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/columnists/scyldberry/2349654/The-hand-of-Monty.html So, a span of 10 inches thumb to little finger (wide) and a...

Hey guys, I've posted this in highesteem's thread, but posting it here again. Please take a look at this and let me know what improvements can be made. My main issue is control over length. I tend to bowl 1 or 2 waist high fulltosses in a spell and quite a few long hops that spoil the effect...

Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) It's been some time since I've last posted on this forum. At that time, I had problems with blisters on fingers and problems with bowling the legbreak - it used to come out as topspinners a lot of times even when I didn't intend it to. Meanwhile, our keeper...
