I agree. I struggle to bowl the slider, I normally just try and flick it out the front, normally resulting in a drag down, hence why I don't bowl it. It will be something to work on in the unforseeable future, I need to get release point correct before I develop any new deliveries.

I don't think its that Dave, I just think that my googly is a more effective delivery then my leggie at this current stage, similar to Imran Tahir I guess!

I think you have hit the nail on the head. There are many times that the ball is too full and on the leg side. Such as https://gyazo.com/4c65bfae82a79d5de512b898e9238e14. Maybe the high arm has never been a problem with the drag downs or full tosses. Maybe it has just been how early I have been...

Sounds like you are going well James! I believe if you click more options when writing a post or "upload a file" you may be able to upload a video from there. However, I am unsure as I normally upload onto her from my YouTube channel.

Hi James. That's great advice, I will have to give that ago. I need to work on release point and getting my head over my foot, so I will give that a go. Tom.

Ah okay, Warne is actually taller than me then, I guess he just looks small on the screen! What do you recommend I do? (If you have seen the screenshot) Because I have a high arm and an upright shoulder, how do I get more spin? I get little spin and more overspin on the ball. Do you recommend a...

I don't think I could emulate Warne, because he is quite a small and stocky bloke, I am more like MacGill, average and quite tall. Am I right in thinking that if you have a low shoulder and a high arm, you will not be able to produce a leg break. If you are upright with a slightly lower arm...

Stretched? Hand span is roughly 20.5 cm. Also, back to the shoulder arm situation. I think something like MacGill would work? He doesn't have a high arm nor a low arm, and his shoulder is upright, and he got huge spin on the ball, more than Warne did...

I have quite small hands I think, when I grip the ball, my third finger isn't really bent because it is uncomfortable.

Haha cheers Dave! Thing is that was back when I was 5ft and it was easy to throw the ball up there, because I had to else it wouldn't get to the other end! Since my growth spurt last year I haven't been the same bowler, so I guess I am trying to return to the bowler I once was and also try and...

From What I gather, are you saying that there is no problem with producing leg spinners from a high arm, it is just making sure that I release at the correct time and make sure I drag my fingers over the ball? Have I interpreted that correctly?

There was 40 in Adults and 10 in junior matches. Seasons figures were 159-12-708-50 I took 18 on a Saturday, 22 on a Sunday and 10 in my 3/4 juniour matches. Just had a look on play cricket.

I will have to experiment in off season with high arm or low arm, and if high arm is better, I will practice releasing at the same time and a bit later.

That was from when I was 15, but Its my only one from cricket, I might change it to me bowling from last season.

Adult games Dave. I took 15 wickets this season. I am 17 now, and as soon as you have finished u15 cricket, if you are deemed good enough to play adult cricket, if not, you don't play.

My wrist is very tight and tense

Video should work now! Sorry about that! The weather has been awful recently so hopefully it will brighten up so that I can get down there and practice flicking the wrist and dragging my fingers over the ball simultaneously. I have also just watched the Stuart MacGill video he did, and he said...

I was doing some shopping the other day, and being cricket mad I looked down the aisle and it was clear, so (hopefully no one was looking) I went through my action. There it was, I did it 5 or 6 times, an action where it was repeated and rhythmical, I was taking off on the same foot, had a good...

You're right, these deliveries are all meant to be leg spinners. Coincidentally, I was discussing with my dad yesterday about I think that I am releasing the ball a tad early, and then I come onto this thread and you have said the same thing.

Video is now up!
