I pretty much agree with that idea. If you look at quicks, spinners and even dibbly dobblies the best exponents always have a loose grip, limber wrist and a relaxed natural action.
I agree.
Yeah I'm not sure that it works all the time for everyone, I'm sure there are people that over-rotate and under-rotate and they get on fine and find a method that works for them, but I guess if people are having difficulties and whatever they try - they should at least explore that as an avenue of resolving their issues?
who df did u guys stretch this thread for 130 pages purely talking about wrist spin remarkable, if anyone needs to improve on there wrist spin bowling reading this thread would be very helpful I will recommend this to my friends m8.
This is only a small section of it! I think this threads been restarted twice before having gone on for 100 pages previously! Yeah - please tell as many people as you can, it'll be great to have new input!
Your blokes did well against the Pommies, in the first of the one day matches I saw tonight. I reckon it'll get tougher, but your captains a good player and you've got some really good batsmen as well, it'll be a tough series for us.
trigonometry my friend! the angle made is the 'inverse tan' of the ratio (sideways deviation / distance from pitching)
I've struggled to make a pivot natural.
Exactly, bowl with a 180 degree+ pivot and the Olympics beckon.

Lol wth did the footballers burn it ?Yeah it depends where you live, some places are amazing and other places it's crap, for instance go on Google maps and go to the UK and type in either Fairlop waters or IG6 3HN. Then look at that are in satellite mode, I can't imagine that there's many places like that anywhere in the world except perhaps Australia. I love Fairlop waters, at the weekend on Saturday mid season it is rammed packed with blokes, all sorts of ethnic backgrounds, all sorts or races, all playing cricket it is amazing! Or look at "Rutland Recreation Ground" on Satellite, the red and green bit right next to the big white building next to the cricket pitch are council nets, there's five there I think - all free access. My experience is that up north there's far more in the way of free facilities. Down here in the south they tend to be linked to clubs and therefore locked up and only accessible to club members. If they're open down south they get vandalised. Have a look at a place right near me - type in "Great Berry Open Space" or Forest Glade, Basildon. The field that is oval shaped, adjacent to the Forest Glade road, was designed to be a cricket pitch. The building in the corner with the car park is called the Pavilion. All around the field just off the grass in the bushes is a 18" fence made of chicken wire, designed so that the ball doesn't get lost in the bushes. When the estate was constructed in the 1990's the field was planted and rolled amazingly flat. An all weather artificial wicket was put down, but within a few years, the footballers poured petrol all over the wicket and set it alight and the council dug it up. As far as I know cricket was never played on the field ever apart from an informal match I organised on a wicket I prepared!
Yeah - some clubs have a 1st and 2nd XI or an A & B team at the younger age groups. Not so much down our way, because crickets not that popular in the south unless you're in London, but up north they may have that situation. A couple of years ago our kids leagues had a B team league, because so many kids that year were playing cricket, it's rarity and it didn't work for us as our B Team was a genuine B team and all the other teams made their B teams up with a mixture of B type players and their A teams.
We have U9's, U11's, U13's, U15's and U16's and then our 4th XI teams often have kids all the way down to U13's playing adult cricket in the 4th XI. My son for instance played in my 4th XI team when he was only 12!
The back row here of my 4th XI have a bunch of old geezers including me on the back right and I think I'm the oldest at 54 and then the front row - age-wise you've got left to right.
Tim 15, My older son Ben15, Kieran 15, Mitchell 15, Tom 16 and Joe my younger son 12!
They didn't like the idea of the space being shared with cricket players I guess? I didn't know about the history of the space and when I discovered it, I recognised that it was all laid out like a cricket pitch, the biggest clue was the pub on the corner of the field, it was called 'The Pavillion'. I checked it out and despite never being used for cricket, the section of grass in the centre between the 2 football pitches which I guess may have been laid as a cricket square was still dead flat. So, I started to go over there and practice, putting my stumps up and bowling. I started to attract the attention of some of the locals, an Indian bloke started to join me and then a doctor who was Pakistani, a bunch of 16 year lads and it started to grow.
Yeah most schools have reasonably good sports halls with nets and clubs hire them, but they're hireable by anyone. We go to a community centre sometimes with 3 badminton courts and hire the middle one. The courts are separated from each other by a big curtain. We go early in the morning sometimes and if there's no-one else in there we draw back the curtains and use the whole hall, that costs us £8! But if you want to hire the whole hall for an hour it's £24. You have to use training balls in that one, but the designated cricket nets allow the use of cricket balls, but they're about £80 for an hour.
