Sounds similar to the kind of things I do. Should be okay. It's just getting the hours in and slowly working it out for yourself what works for you.

Something I'm going to aim to do at the start of the over is bowl 2 or 3 balls at Mid-off/Mid on or whoever is nearest before the start of the over, but I have to say I kind of feel like everyone's standing around thinking... 'C'mon on get on with you pillock'! Perhaps try that?

Dave I'd say leave the Googly for another year... 2020 maybe and work on your Leg-break. A few questions... (1) What surface are you bowling on? (2) what sort of a ball? (3) Are you spinning it hard - and how do you know you are?

Ah I missed the 'entirely' part! Spain? Is that a purpose made facility?

Jesus that's early, fields round where I live and the paddock I practice in is soaked at moment. What was the outfield like?

Snow and cold weather. http://theoldwristspinner.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/the-paddock-2nd-of-march-2018.html

People driving to work or anywhere using their bloody phones.

People who let their dogs crap on cricket grounds and other areas used for sports and leisure and just leave it there.

Yeah I like his vids and he answers all your questions, he's a good bloke.

As above - bowling machine great for working on specific things because of the consistency. Nets better in a way because of the lack of consistency - but still nothing like the real deal.

That's exactly what I do, much rather face the ferocity of fresh bowlers - it's potentially nearer the experience I have to face when going out into the middle at no.10 or 11.

Just watching the Women's test matches on BT's youtube channel - very commendable - full match coverage, just have to have a news black-out so I don't know what's happening for about 24 hours. Anyway, that aside, the commentary team are saying that 2 day cricket in Australia is dying away is...

Mate 80 over innings, some of us here in the UK dream of being able to play that kind of game, year on year, it seems there's pressure on our traditional 50 overs games to be reduced increasingly, last year it was 45 overs, this year they're talking about 40 overs, it's absolute nonsense-...

Damn! I keep trying to change those links below my posts to link to my new blog www.wristspinbowling.blogspot.co.uk and it keeps reverting to the website. The new blog has the facility to comment which is nice, currently under construction at the minute e.g. transferring the 'Best of's' from the...

Yeah definitely and get yourself into a team - sign up for our team if you're prepared to travel that distance, we don't have subs so it's a pay as you play arrangement - from what I saw when we met you'd do okay.

Yeah usually end up practicing on tarmac.

Over winter when I practice I use Hockey balls - same weight, same size. Use them a few times and they roughen up and you can get some grip on them. Oh yeah and the bounce is similar to a cricket ball.

The change of bat position in the back-lift seems to be working. I batted at No.07 last Saturday after a middle-order collapse. Both the bowlers were slow/medium but accurate and varying speed, length - you miss they hit and the 3 previous batsmen all went cheaply. Amongst the 1st couple of...

I'm no massive fan of the Royal family, but they bring in the tourists, they're important for marketing Great Britain PLC, their the patrons of loads of good stuff and when the s**t hits the fan and the country needs to come together and cast aside politics, they have the ability to unify people...
