I dunno are we talking legspin or jazz ballet ?

God you armstrong flickers are smug. Just 'cause you have every concievable delivery at your fingertips due to your confounded grip no need to rub our noses in it.

Deny that you finger flicking freak from the shaky isles

Well there has been plenty of doubt about such a ball expressed here lately. leftie600 said it was impossible (except for him off course because he is one of those sly kiwi iverson merchants) and SLA hasn't seen one and he has viewed the slo mo footage of every legbreak bowled in 20 years of...

Shouldn't you back in wrongun school mate. That Jenner backspin demo was just him having a joke. At that stage Terry was being paid big bucks by the English to coach legspin and being paid secret bucks by the Aussies to spread as much disinformation as possible. That is how you ended up with...

You have to laugh when he says the hardest thing about trying to bowl it is actually being able to bowl it. Cleanprophet found that out the other day.

Here are these clowns at pitch vision again. This guy thinks he is bowling a zooter backspinner or something or other and it is just a legspinner with backspin. I really think someone is going to hurt themselves trying to perform Philpotts backspinning circus ball. Dont try this at home kids...

Yeah it's all just nonsense, those tricky, flicky, clicky victorians invented everything bowlable, and the guys like Bosanquet, Grimmett and Iverson who worked out how to do it overarm at the elite level by their own experimentation are just cock and bull stories made up to sell copies of...

I think if you look at demo richie does here of the doug ring ball , it is not the philpott/jenner/simpson mythical backspinner. Just the old fashioned straightone or what we call a slider these days. Philpott must have went round the loop in his head as well as his wrist because if you read...

I love taiaha. I dont know if you know the Jack Iverson story but it has to be one of the, if not the most incredible stories in the history of the game. Funny how Iverson, Dooland and Pepper developed their mystery balls during their service in world war two. Doug Ring reckoned he developed...

No you didn't, you just thought you did. Don't be disappointed though apparently some of the greatest legspinners in history have been as self delusional at some stage. A biomechanic and slomo will set you straight, they are always correct. One thing you should learn from this non existent...

Yeah but Philpott, Jenner and Simpson had long careers as coaches as well. They coached national teams and individual players for years. Philpott was brought into the England rooms by Atherton to demystify Warne and one of the deliveries he told them that a legspinner has in his arsenal is this...

Incredible isn't it? All these test match legspinners like Simpson, Philpott and Jenner can't be trusted. A twelve year old can see through their backspinning topsinner rubbish.

Make up your mind mate, yesterday you reckoned it was impossible to bowl now you reckon you are on the verge of being able to bowl it yourself!

I cant believe I was taken in by the backspinner hoax for so long and now have to recant and admit there is no such thing. I mean have you ever tried bowling one? Even the concept has your head spinning before the first attempt. I just hope it wasn't me old mate someblokecalledave who put it on...

Just don't call them Armstrong/ Iverson deliveries, I just got wind some pommy invented them before the first Captain Cook ( don't mention the second captain cook) came to both our shores.

No it's not from Philpott, though Philpott saw a big future in the Iverson style after Gleeson and reckoned another Iverson style test spinner would come along again one day. It's an Armstrong/Iverson/Gleeson Aussie invention way before the carrom ball got named.

Did you know Grimmett reckoned he invented an Iverson style technique in NZ 30 years before Jack Iverson?

Someone better get on to those clowns at pitchvision and shut this down before someone seriously injures themselves attempting the impossible. http://www.pitchvision.com/how-to-bowl-a-slider They have fallen victim to the benaud/philpott/jenner backspinner hoax. What a joke, they cant even...
