England's Top Spinners. Swanne - Finger Spinner Tufnell SLA Phil Edmunds - SLA Wilfred Rhodes - SLA Ashley Giles - SLA Headley Verity - SLA John Emburey - FS Fred Titmus - FS Tony Lock - SLA Jim Laker - FS Derek Underwood - SLA Anyone see a pattern emerging? The funny thing is most of them are...

Nah, not my experience, you're pretty unique in that it seems you've found it easy to mix up both wrist spinning and finger spinning and seemingly found it relatively easy. At my club and my previous club, we were filled to the rafters with finger spinners who could bowl straight balls and...

Yeah definitely, again with reference to Philpott you have to have something about you to be a Wrist-Spinner, I can't remember how he phrases it, but there's often something of the 'Outsider' about Wrist-Spinners. Grimmett always saw himself as an outsider, MacGill was always seen as being...

SLA early season and I've so little exercise what with the crappy Easter. Historically it's weak - a skateboard accident back in 1979 left it so that I go over on it quite easily. I think as the season goes on and summer arrives and I get out more, my legs get stronger and I feel more agile. To...

Seems to be when you bowl, the arm comes through and fades away having rotated a full circle and more - more like 540 degrees, instead of pulling up abruptly after you've released the ball.

No just leave him be in T20 cricket and let everyone who plays proper cricket just get on with without all the fuss he creates. Jut pile in the SLA's and laugh your socks off as he struggles to play it.:D

What was that BS?!!! - Just watched a half decent IPL game (No fan really). For once there was none of that crap massacre by bat, with all the crowd wetting their knickers every time someone slogs a 4 or 6 - just bores me to tears. Instead the bowlers dominated and brilliant spell Mishra. The...

Yawn yawn.

It's the only possible explanation, the ditch should have been packed with balls!

Mark Garaway claims and I reckon there is some truth in that the full rotation of the bowling arm helps to generate more over-spin and therefore dip. Probably if combined with a vertical arm or a near vertical arm when attempting to present the seam upright in the style of a classic top-spinner...

I like Pommie Mbangwa and the Aussie bloke that gets really carried away on the ILP commentary, can't remember his name.

I played in a game several years ago which along one of the boundaries ran an over-grown but dry ditch, during the game at least 7 balls were lost in the ditch and only a cursory attempt at finding the balls was made by the home team before they brought another brand new ball. I watched in...

Mate if you could that would be great, but I'm not very technical and knowledgeable when it comes to websites and stuff.

Just get cheap cricket balls then, but they'll damage and rough up really quickly.

I keep hearing this about the channel 9 commentary team, is it really that bad?

Yeah that was my team and a game I was playing in as well! I did write a big reply giving you the actual details of this, but I know our club want to forget it, so deleted it all. The match where the blokes were killed http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/learn/story-of-england/georgians/1780939/

Mate you need to come and play at my club this is infant school stuff compared to what goes on here in Essex in the UK. There was a game here some years ago 3 blokes were killed, or at least two. It was two actually, I just looked it up, one was shot dead, the other was stabbed to death.

Gutted. I reckon they should have gone with Willey - he had an over to come at the end there? Poor old Stokes, I bet he feels he lost them the game there. I had a feeling they might still win, they didn't look fussed at all in the last 5 overs where it looked as though it was slipping away from...

8 off the last Willey over, need 28 off of 12 balls.:eek:
