Leg spin- Pace and pitch type
Hi Guys
Was very interesting listening to Warney commentate on a few of the recent Pakistan test matches over here in UK, especially when Kaneria was bowling.
One piece that interested me was about the pace he would bowl during a test match. He mentioned that on the first or second day when the tracks are not turning as much he would bowl slower in order to get the ball to turn. As the test went on the the wicket would increasingly turn this allowed him to bowl it quicker as the ball would grip more.
Also reading somthing from Terry J, mentioning that the right pace to bowl is the pace which you gain maximum spin. He said Warne found that about 50mph was his ideal pace for spin, and anything over that he would loose spin gradually.
Im trying to find someone who has a speed gun as i would like to know how fast i bowl, even though i got through stages experimenting of bowling it slower and quicker. From what i can see Steve Smith and Kaneria tend to average about 54, where as Warne and Mcgill averaged arounf 50mph.
I had a game on a county ground at the weekend and the deck was so flat and i could hardly get the ball to turn which is pretty frustrating if you are giving it a rip. Looking back i should have maybe tried to bowl a few slow to try get some grip
