I don't worry if I bowl full tosses because I'd rather bowl too full than too short. Shit happens. It's the short ones that sit up and are begging to be smacked that are more of a problem for me, but I think I can iron it out. I don't bowl many full tosses, thankfully. At the end of the day...

Welcome to the forum mate. It's different bowling in the middle than in the nets, but the only way to be prepared is just to practice as much as possible. I don't think there's any magic formula, just gotta try your best when the captain throws you the ball. Personally I try to bowl the...

That's awesome man, well bowled. That's more maidens than I have in total, haha.

Opposite end - Northumberland.

I can get to the nets during the day when the weather is good on the days I'm not walking. I'll also try to keep my fitness up by going on long walks etc. Good luck in your T20.

No, is that live? Go on leggie, grab some wickets.

Yeah, I want to help the team to win games. That's always the best feeling. I want to give more of myself and make myself available for more games, learn more. And learn the batting side, too.

Thanks mate, it means a lot to me.

Well, I won a trophy for my effort. It's nice to have something tangible for those hours in the nets. It has given me a thirst for more, I'll play for the second team next season. But if I don't win more I'll still be happy with this. Over the winter I am working on three things: (1) a...

Not pedantic at all mate. When I'm practicing it hand to hand I think I squeeze it out like how Ritchie Benaud described the apple thing on the train. When I do it hand to hand it has 45 degrees mix of back spin and side spin, maybe more if I go around the loop a bit more. But when I go...

Same here, it's basically my slider and I bowl it with a scrambled seam.

Some of the coaches recommend jumping higher and using a little obstacle to jump over, not to get upward momentum but for forward momentum leading into the delivery stride. I think of it like "climbing" into the delivery.

Nice pace! Yours are much quicker through the air than mine. I use this site to upload the GIFs, once the video is uploaded you can use the sliders to choose the start and end points. https://imgflip.com/gif-maker The maximum file size is 100mb, so to chop the video files up I've been...

Drumroll... flipper!

Didn't get the start of this one

Another leg break.

When I watch myself on video I'm surprised how round arm I am, it feels a lot higher to me. Yeah that delivery was a flatter and quicker one, with about a 45 degree angle on the seam pointing towards slip. Not sure what happened with the bounce, think it was just a bit short and maybe a crappy...

I tried to post a longer video but there are file size limits here. I will try and make a couple more, including one of my flipper, but it's a ballache process! That GIF is pretty representative of my stock ball, although it would usually be a little bit fuller and have more bounce. The camera...

GIF of my leg break

Nice work, Dave. Is that the end of the season?
