Good research, I've just written a fun reply to this - it's taken me hours actually, but it's thrown up an unanswered question. We all know (Hopefully) that Warne's 'Sliders' were actually Big Leg-Breaks that just came out wrong and didn't turn. But, is there any evidence - maybe during his work...

In other news... For years I've been aware that my club has had a select few playing indoors cricket. I've over-heard whispered conversations about it and it's never been spoken about openly and it's seemed that there was a small group of established players that kept it among themselves and it...

Fantastic series with Pakistan, so much spin! Peter Philpott would have approved. Great seeing England being thrashed by spin - utterly clueless. Back to the drawing board with Bazball? Looks like the next test with NZ might be a challenge with Santner taking so many wickets, it be hilarious if...

Yeah you're right, can't say that I've heard anyone on commentary saying Benuad style "He's got him with the Flipper". What variation are you referring to - just the out of the front of the hand straight ball that doesn't spin or rolling the fingers down the back as a seam bowler does? I know...

Poonam Yadav allegedly does for India. Probably the only one in the world it seems?

Anyone out there know anyone who plays international level who bowls Flippers. Not commentator Flippers, where the clueless F***s saying "he's got him with the Flipper" just cos it skids in low, but bowlers who openly say they bowl it as part of their armoury - I'm primarily looking for female...

What's the matter with that, sound pretty good, unless of course you were trying to bowl leg-side in which case don't mention it at the time, just roll with it.

Jeez, that sounds serious.

Yeah I love it playing and watching. In the league we used to play in 50 overs and timed games were the format, meant on occasions I'd bowl 14 overs. Had a game where one bloke bowled all the overs from one end. Crap these days with the Mickey mouse short game (40 over) we're limited to 8 overs...

What surgery you had Leggy?

Aussies - Your season started yet? Our last game was yesterday 28th Sept, but was called off as the Grounds staff wanting to get going with the autumn maintenance. I reckon that's BS and they couldn't get a team out.

You more of a T20 man Richie? Why do you find the 50 overs a tedious format? I'm loving the current series with your lot here in the UK. Watching live right now and it looks like the Aussies are on for the win, Smith just survived an LBW shout from a Potts ball.

Loads of places play T10 games - currently in Italy (Rome) there's a series being played. Bob Woolmer predicted new formats in his last book, saying that because of the sedentary lives we live, something would give, he thought it might be the length of the wicket being reduced

Far too much of it to keep track of unless of course you look at all the data on the Hundred website. None of the Aussie women I've seen have been outstanding (I only watch the women's games). I'm primarily only interested in bowling. Alannah King and Amanda J Wellington have bowled OK...

The Maddy Villiers catch in the women's Hundred yesterday for the Oval Invincibles?

Richie, I'm pretty unique in the fact that I write on any forums, when I mention it to anyone they look at me as though I'm some kind of a nutter, no-one I've spoke to has ever shown any inclination to do similar. The only people I know that do anything similar is my older son, who when he does...

Is that with your club or informal cricket between mates?

@Bobble_Fell_Off So just a quick idea. Like you I used to have a bucket of balls and would bowl all 25 or so at one set of stumps, collect them all up and bowl the other direction. Then I realised that I was only noticing that clusters of x numbers of balls during the 25 that were any good and...

Where are you Doc? How are you able to play during the 'Winter'? I thought you was an Aussie?
