I went down to watch today. Apparently it was a mix up/mistake that I didn't get picked, he thought I hadn't replied to the text when I had. Someone else was injured, so I went home and got my gear and ended up being sub fielder for us when we were fielding. We batted first, put on 193 and...

Took me a minute to get that but I'm there, haha.

We will be rooting for you, man. It's great to have this place to share ideas and support each other.

Breakdown of my figures. Dismissals all seasons

Very nice, mate. Your club sounds a bit more extensive and competitive than mine. Mind you, we have some good players. There is a young batsman in the first team with an average of 85 for the season, he is an opener or a number 3 and has destroyed nearly everyone he has faced with a load of...

Good luck with your game Dave, hope you get to set some field settings you want and hatch a plan. Yeah I'm happy with my figures, and looking forward to hammering the nets over winter.

I haven't been picked this week. There's a ringer in the team and a couple of first teamers who don't usually play, so I guess the oppo are quite strong. Not sure if I've been dropped or not. So that's my season over. I was used sparingly, but enjoyed it in the main. Overs 26.2 Maidens 0...

Thanks for this, I've watch it in full. Your action looks nice and rhythmical there despite the low ebb. It's funny how bowling wrist spin is such a psychological battle at times, and other times when bowling well feels almost effortless. I would love to reach that rhythmical/effortless state...

If it was someone I thought would struggle I'd bring them in. You can usually tell quite quickly.

My match today was cancelled because of lack of players available on our team, that's fine by me as I keep my average intact. There's just one match left next week.

Assuming a competent batsman I'd have them deep as it's not a strategy I've tried before.

Yeah I've seen loads of your videos mate and have seen you pop up in the comments section on YouTube.

Would be great too see your bowling, mate. I'll make some vids, too.

One thing I might do is to ask the captain to field at slip, he's a top fielder and some chances have gone begging in that area. I want someone ninja in there. How I think about fielding is I basically want the best catchers in areas where chances are created, that's behind the wicket, cover...

To be honest I never really think about the field that deeply but for going around the wicket I would want extra protection on the offside, I would have a long off and then bring him in shorter if I thought I was winning the battle and I'd have a deep square leg for the bad balls that drop short...

Yes Dave, I am a right arm bowler. I had trouble against a lefty but he failed to put away the bad balls, I got lucky and I finished with figures of 10 runs for 2 wickets in that game. I went over the wicket and was satisfied to contain him to not scoring because I had two wickets under my belt...

For sure, it's all about the revs :-)

I'm also 5'10" and I'd say I bowl around 40-45mph.

Do you find you have to sort of step across yourself to get that braced action with the extra oomph on the delivery? That's what it feels like to me. With the front foot pointing towards fine leg.

I don't worry about bracing it but sometimes I think I get my alignment wrong and the footwork I think is really important to get in the right position. I am trying to get mine relaxed and repeatable, then explode and rotate as the bowling arm comes over.
