Wow, that is super handy. It's definitely something I will consider getting in the next couple months before the season starts again.

Damn yeah, lucky you got around to fixing those problems haha.

Nice bit of turn on those leggies, and certainly a bit of drift and dip with the offies.

Damn, you got fulltrack AI? Is it worth it you reckon? I'm thinking of getting it too.

Yeah, I'm not sure why there are hardly any good offies in club cricket around Australia - yet there are heaps of leggies, and it is only really the offies who make the domestic and international sides. Yeah true, shouldn't be driving anything shorter than a half volley against a spinner, need...

Yeah exactly. Syntho is horrible to bowl spin on. At my club everyone asks why I am so horrible at playing spin when I am a spinner lol. I can't play any decent spinner, much prefer the fast bowlers. That's probably because I never really get decent spinners to bowl to me in the nets at my club...

I am that player, at least against leg spin (when they aren't bowling half trackers which I can pull). I would basically do exactly as I've described in my previous reply, the one about the leggy setting me up for the slider. Except in your case I would bowl leggies to set him up and then use...

Personally, I would open a tempting, large gap in the leg side for a flick shot (gap should be between mid on and midwicket - closer to midwicket). Then throughout the over, I would start bowling offies wide of off, next ball fifth stump, next ball off stump - hopefully he tries to push it into...

Hey, best thing I can offer you is just to spin it from hand to hand, getting the right seam presentation, then bowling from 15 yards, watching the seam presentation, and then once that's good take it through the proper 22 yards.

Damn, spraining an intercostal muscle is very hard to do. Does it hurt to laugh and cough?

Well written story, I enjoyed that! Really good economy for a leggy, even if the wicket was almost impossible to bat. Not a bad first game then I guess?

Yeah, that would be sufficient. Although once you get good at squats, push ups, since you have no extra weight to use you need to find ways to make it harder. Try tougher variations such as one armed push ups, pistol squats, etc. I would also recommend doing pull ups and chin ups. If you do...

You can develop muscle through bowling but if you at least do a few other exercises you can develop muscles which are neglected during bowling and therefore prevent imbalances and injuries. I've certainly found doing this has increased my pace, spin, even my batting as well. Plus, once you have...

Hmm, I've never thought of it like that. I guess doing that as well may deceive the batsmen in that the arm action is fast but the ball doesn't come out nearly as fast as you would expect from that? Like they say, Warne had an arm action the same speed as Brett Lee... Yeah, I just need to ease...

Yeah, whenever I bowl for the first time in a while my chest gets super sore, my forearms, biceps, the right side of my back, calves, even my neck gets sore. Bowling really is a full body thing - just doesn't include the left side of the upper body much though as I find it is never sore. Bowled...

For sure. Stuff like figuring out if they are reading the spin from the pitch or the hand as well. Yeah, your stock standard bowl should have tons of different variations as you said, faster, slower, overspin, sidespin, flatter, loopier, etc.

Cheers, yeah I do think the hardest thing about the flipper is getting the timing of the “flip” and release at the same time. So yeah, flicking it from hand to hand should be very beneficial.

Yeah true, I have done the skip for a while now.I’ll have to try slowing everything down and maybe adding a hurdle or two in the right place so the skip can be fixed. Definitely gonna persevere with the flipper, I bowled some really promising deliveries with it I just my 2nd session trying it...

Damn, now that is something to think about. Is it possible for a ball with topspin to swing? It must be as I have seen this as well in a few other bowlers. Not myself though.

Yeah, it's hard for offies going over the wicket to get drift especially as the ball has to drift against the angle. Whereas leggies drift from over the wicket goes with the angle and therefore has a bigger effect.
