Re: Off Spinning Guide
Yeah, but mine doesn't swing enough and almost becomes just a quicker ball. :p
I struggle to get any loop or drift, which are my main deficiencies in becoming anything more than a part-timer. I either dart it in, or use my height to get a lot of bounce.
Re: Competition audit/discussion
There's another decent one I've got. Good stats, realistic scorecards and allows for a detailed rego, but it doesn't give ball-by-ball output, only a final scorecard. If it did give ball-by-ball output it would shit all over CrickSim.
Re: Off Spinning Guide
Give it a whirl, but mine is self taught and I'm only a part-time offspinner so there is probably better way to do it out there. Mine is like a quicker ball-arm ball.
Re: Off Spinning Guide
I'm not sure on how it's supposed to be done, but when I do it I move the ball in my hand so the seam runs straight down like a paceman would have it and then bowl it was the offspiners grip to fool them. That way I'm basically bowling it as a medium pacer but with just...
Re: Finger Spin Bowling.
I hold it like Mendis' carrom ball. My middle finger doesn't 'flick' the ball out as much though. I use the first finger to drag it down the opposite way of a normal off-break. Because the middle finger is behind the ball it is out of the way and allows me to do...
Re: Your favourite XI - not including your country of choice
1. Gautam Gambhir - fantastic opening bat.
2. Alastair Cook - something about him, I love the way he goes about it.
3. Rahul Dravid - as solid as a rock, gun.
4. Kumar Sangakkara - amazing bat, keeper, and tactician.
5. Tillakaratne...
Re: Finger Spin Bowling.
I've been working on mine a lot so far this summer and it's being going fairly well. I'm getting a bit of turn again - although it varies from day to day, and I'm getting my line and length right again - although my line can be shaky. So my stock ball is going well, and...
Re: Finger Spin Bowling.
With the discussion in the Off-Spinning Guide thread I thought this might be due for a recovery. The Australian season is in full swing, so how is everyone going?
Re: Competition audit/discussion
I always thought it was a random number tbh. Never knew this.
But yeah, as Kshitiz said, you NEED multiple simmers. The comp went to shit as soon as Kshitiz left really - not blaming him at all. It was my fault, and it was because I couldn't handle the...
Re: Competition audit/discussion
Missed the poll LJP. You might want to throw that in.
And I'd like to apologise for the way this season turned out. It hasn't been ideal the way it's turned out, but it's been a tough year for me. To those who have hung around thank-you.
