    Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three)

    Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) our books always have wickets-runs so you have "4 for 10" meaning 4 wickets for 10 runs. But then the other way round for score. wierd

    Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three)

    Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Keep plugging away and show them your making the effort. I got 6 overs at the weekend for work team, going 6-1-0-16 (the correct format being overs - maidens - wickets - runs ;))

    Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three)

    Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Indeed it would probably be effective to make the batsman put all the power in! I was having run up problems at the weekend. I found the solution to be 2 quick steps followed by 3 longer strides which got me my optimal velocity and rhythm. As long sa your...

    Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three)

    Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) You surely wont be able to get the length at all right though, with no runup you have no natural rhythm so I estimate you'll be a few yards short and wont achieve any accuracy at all :\

    The Sidearm

    Re: The Sidearm This looks quite good actually, the question is, how do you turn up to nets with it without looking a bit silly for the first time ?:p I wonder though, do you think it could be used as a tool for practising throws? Eg to strengthen muscles and get them used to the right action?

    Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three)

    Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Hmm, I volunteered to do some at my club, but they said they dont really need anyone, as they essentially have all evenings covered :( The milton ground is a nice square, when it gets a nice little water on a few days up to the weekend, it is perfect , hard...

    Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three)

    Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Interesting, I find it to be the other way round here, although, most of the kids are kids of fathers in the team too. They have been brought up to put the effort in and they are far and away the best fielders in the club. My suggestion for bowling on...

    Re: Picking Spin We aren't going to tell you how to pick us :p Nah in aall seriousness, the stuff above is all good.; If you have an old head in the team who has played all these teams before he might be able to help you pick each bowler before you bat . Eg this weekend just past we played...

    kahuna 800 vs ignition 1000

    Re: kahuna 800 vs ignition 1000 Essentially here, you have posted a one line, badly punctuated question, with little or no input from yourself and are essentially demanding everyone else to do the research on it. Assuming these are bats, then the simple answer is whichever you feel more...

    Lower Back Pain

    Re: Lower Back Pain If its pure strength then liz has a good post In terms of aerobic excercise for back I would say rowing (in a good technique is 90% legs 5% core 5% arms) also what about cycling in terms of muscle flexibility ? Liz, perhaps you can clarify me here? I am a keen cyclist so...

    Is he too young???

    Re: Is he too young??? Some good advice above. The multi sports thing is great advice too. Especially for cricket, you have so many different areas of the body that work out. My personal thoughts (Disclaimer : I am not a coach !) would be maybe try and do some running or rowing or something...
