Brexit. Trump and right-wing politics.

I'd stand pretty side-on with my feet parallel to each other. Last night though I had a knock about with my son Joe and he watched what I was doing. He suggested that I brought the bat round in the back-lift so that it was angled more towards fine leg, that worked, all the balls were then...

Have a look at this http://www.wristspinbowling.com/accuracy-drills-spin-bowling.html I bowl really slow so have had to work on my accuracy a lot.

Played every week of the season so far with the exception of a coupe at start of July as I was on holiday. last week went well, a couple of wickets and generally bowled well. Before the holiday I had a good 9th wicket stand with my younger son in a lost cause scenario, both of us scoring PB's...

Hello, it seems that two winters of netting on and off seems to be paying off a little and I'm scoring a handful of runs now and then, but also helping the other better batsman by rotating the strike and not getting out - had some nice last wickets stands in the last two years! Last time I...

Shivam I haven't got a clue how you'd do that - search David Thompson Basildon, Essex, England see what you get. But I'm not a user of social media really, I don't have a mobile phone and only ever access FB via PC and most of the stuff that's posted is Left wing politics or Art, rarely say...

I just wanted to test them out and see if they were any good at all, the one we bought here in the UK was going to be bought anyway and then having bought it I was wondering whether you could buy really thick bats from India and how good they might be and it went from there. We've still got them...

Mate, I'm a teacher and it's the end of the year, I'm shot to pieces with assessment and trying to get kids through their end of year assessments etc. Yeah I'll see what I can do though. Thanks for reading it! I'm working on a straight ball as well - more of a fingery top-spinner, but the last...

Not a lot happening on here anymore eh?

Would you like to expand on this a little?

My younger son can bowl this - he used to bowl leg breaks - was talking to him and he said 'What like this' and then just bowled one as easy as you like. No-where near good enough to bowl in a game, but if he was to ever decide to go back to it (Wrist-spinning) it looks like one he'd get right...

Does it spin and turn off the wicket? Is it fairly accurate - do you take wickets with it? Finally is that your back yard? If it is - very nice!

Menno's a bit of an enigma, he seems to have gone off the radar at the moment, its as though it was never really was his thing and it was just something he knocked up as he knew something about it (He's got some form, so there is come credibility). Weird thing his E-book must come with some...

Tell me about 10 years now and I still serve up a pile of crap in a lot of games. The umpire last week standing at my end when I was bowling said he'd been at it for 30 years and he still couldn't get it right, he didn't get to bowl either when they fielded.:(

There's a bloke in this years IPL that had an action like Adams don't recall his name though.

Yeah I've had this conversation with SLA before, he must live somewhere where the water is very different. In a whole season I might see 2 leg-spin bowlers if I'm lucky, but every team has 1 or perhaps 2 players that will tell you they are finger spinners (Offies) and then there's the occasional...

I had a nightmare game on Saturday http://www.wristspinbowling.com/blog/13th-may-basildon-and-pitsea-v-thundersley-and-hadleigh-4th-xi The umpire at the stumps when bowling was talking to me offering encouragement as it was all falling to pieces. In the conversation he was saying that he'd been...

How's that for non-orthodox run in and follow through!

I read an article in a paper here in the UK about it with the same viewpoint you're extolling - having read it, came away with a different view. Then spoke to women I work with and sit next to - Astra Achong who's distantly related to him she suspects as here Dad's from Trinidad and says his...

Derby v Worcester? He said Slider or Zooter - again in my opinion confirming no-one has a clue what a slider is because it's never been truly established. But to be honest I sound like a broken record on this, so I should just shut up and go back to my website ;)...
