If you practice on a tennis court, how do you improve it's bounce? It has pretty good bounce, maybe a bit high, and lots of turn, but the bounce distance is messed up. The ball doesn't travel far enough! That's not really what I want to fix, my problem is backspin. Backspin on a tennis court...

My computer keeps giving me email alerts when someone replied to something I said on Bigcricket. I click on the "stop watching thread" button but still get email alerts all the time! How can I stop getting email alerts?

Which two types of bowlers, in your opinion, are the most effective when used in tandem? The best combination I can possibly think of is a right arm leg spinner and a left arm chinaman bowling together:D They turn the ball in opposite directions, bowl from different angles, are both attacking...

Hello pace/seam/swing bowlers:) Left arm chinaman here, are there any of you that use the back of the hand slower ball as a permanent variation? If you do, does your's dip noticeably? I'm thinking of using the back of the hand slower ball as a replacement for the top spinner, but I need your...

We have all been hit for a huge six. Not the kind of six that just clears the fielder on the boundary. No, not that kind. The kind that seems to go further and further, never stopping, until it lands way outside the stadium, into trees or houses or parking areas. That one hit can deflate your...

Are any of you regularly using the karate chop slider and having some success with it? I abandoned it a while ago in favor of the 45 degree backspinning leg break. It still seems like a good delivery to have though. What are your thoughts on it? A few photos of me bowling one. [left arm...

As a number 11 batsman I'm always told to block the ball and get singles so the better batsman can get on strike.
