The use of the wrist is why leg spinners generally get more revs than finger spinners. So you need to use your wrist. Right now you largely are a finger spinner - add the wrist in and you will feel like a new bowler once you get to landing them right. But stick with it, this is certainly one of...

3. To an extent, your accuracy will be fixed by practice. I reckon with a flawed action a lot of practice will get you landing 4-5/6 balls on a towel area which is dangerous for the batsmen. However, If you really want to be pinpoint accurate without losing spin, yes you will have to fix up some...

One thing that may decrease accuracy in the short term (or it may even help, idk) but will help in the long term will also provide an immediate positive effect on the revolutions you are getting. I noticed your wrist is not 'cocked' but rather in alignment with your forearm. When you are...

I would say flipper around the wicket to the lefties for the angle in?

True mate, I'm injured so I can't bowl or bat for a couple more months anyway... Really a bummer.

Yeah for sure, can be frustrating. Just one of those days.

Yeah its much better.

Ahh yep, can imagine it now. Sounds difficult.

How do you bowl this ball so it has flying saucer, e.g. horizontal spin?

Wow, really in depth analysis there, where'd you learn all this by the way? Physics class haha?

A new page should be started soon anyhow so a couple more messages and you should be good

Lol oops, my bad :grimace:

Yeah will start practicing again in a month. Don't really need to worry about weather closing in in Australia lol. Yes, I have ordered the wilkins book and am excited to read it, Grimmett books seem a bit harder to get. Here's my stats for the year, under season 1. Not the ideal year with the...

Wow, a flipper googly... Never really realised there could be such a thing. I agree it would be hard to pick, hardest part however would be getting enough spin, accuracy and pace with it...

Slight offspin on warne's flipper

Wow, 4 is an insane average lol, luckily its at your home ground and not somewhere else

Ahh yeah fair enough, that makes sense. I personally struggle against really good left handed batsmen that can pick my wrongun, otherwise I usually feel in the nets I am on top. Luckily I don't just have batsmen mindlessly slogging me, usually they try and play properly. However in game when I...

Do you have any batsmen to bowl to that make you struggle and get you out of your comfort zone? Also how can they play you easier if you know how to get out the sloggers? Shouldn't they be struggling then?

Nice, I might try that too today. The umpire on my game last weekend said he could see I was getting some drift too, and there was no wind around, so I was pretty surprised when he said that. It's always so cool to hear and see that you are making the ball drift and dip, way better than turn.

Yep, after one or two more seasons I should be able to see clearer patterns come through as I take more wickets.
