Yeah man. I like your mindset, stay positive, only worry about the things you can control. Sometimes captains can be very frustrating, I get it.

Wow Dave that is a really incredible strike rate. I personally love looking at the strike rate, I think it is the most valuable stat for the impact you have on the game as a leg spinner, however though when playing on synthetic my strike rate generally balloons to around 30, but when playing...

1: my most likely mode of dismissal would probably be an edge to slip trying to drive through the covers, but this is more due to a problem with my batting where I am not as good at driving spin as I struggle to get right to the pitch of it sometimes. 2: my two go to shots are definitely the...

I'd say for that field I'd be trying to operate on middle stump, get the batter trying to work it through the leg side or straight and then nick to slip or miss it and get bowled, with the occasional wide one thrown out there to tempt them into a big cover drive to short cover. Short cover is...

Yeah thanks Dave, appreciate the interest. My bowling in my opinion has never been better, although this hasn't exactly translated to the last couple games, as I have been unfortunately mainly picked as a batter, and on syntho too, so if they do bowl me its as an afterthought, like 2/3 overs...

Thanks man. Yeah games are entirely different to nets, gotta get used to it. I bowled 3 overs in a 40 over game, first over a maiden, landed every ball, then the other batsman was facing me for my other 2 overs and my figures went to 0/19, he just kept hitting me straight down the ground because...

Got my first game tomorrow, however it is on syntho. Will update you guys on how I go. Hoping the changes I made during the masterclass make a difference in games.

Okay so during the spin masterclass my key takeaways were: 1. Alignment is my biggest issue at the moment. Currently my front foot during my bowling stance lands in front of the stumps, meaning it is very far to the right of my left foot placement at the same time. Looks like an exaggerated...

I have been doing this specialist spin bowling course run by my club for the last month or so, got the last session coming up on Tuesday. I'll share my findings after the last session, but I've learnt a lot of interesting stuff for sure that might help you guys as well. I've also found the cure...

100% mate, theres a lot of pressure on performance or else you are immediately dropped down grades. Bad fielding however I feel only gets the teammates angry at you, they don't really talk about that at meetings.

Hmm thats interesting but I'm young so I'm not qualified to talk about this yet haha

Actually the best I've bowled this season, just without luck. Bowled 7 overs (most my captain has bowled me this year) 1/23. Wicket an lbw, a square spinner that just drifted in and didn't turn while he lunged forwards with a forward defence. I was bowling when they hit the winning runs, and so...

Going to the game tonight so I'll see....

Yeah I find I bowl well in the nets but in game its a different story... This makes a lot of sense Dave, I agree it is all mental. I tend to blame myself like you did as well, so I just need to somehow find a way to take the mental pressure I put on myself off... Good points there, will try them...
