Those posts were way back mate and I did make the u19 side. St. Vincent is in the stanford tournament indeed and I'll see what I can do this year in the national 2020 competition. If that goes well, who knows, I might be in the training squad.

Yes, without accuracy, spin is useless, as I have found out the hard way!

Also with the shine to the leg side that would make it drift back into left handers and you have to have a perfect seam position and give the ball more air as well.

The only method of getting the ball to drift is by applying a lot of spin to it. You can't technically teach how to get 'drift,' it only happens for the above reason.

I might need the good luck Bobbi cause I haven't practiced for a month odd now and the trails might be next week or the week after. The lads won last year while I was home as a reserve! Anyways guys, St. Vincent is a country located in the Windies just like Jamaica or Guyana etc. You have to play for your country before you can represent the Windies. That's why people from overseas can't play in the Windies domestic league!! |

Because sometmes you forget specific details and write what you know you mean. Unfrtunately it can be misinterpreted by others. Either that or you are trying to sound good. I am guilty of both as is everyone else. Good luck with the trials Spin Wiz, I played in the Gillette Cup U/19 here in Australia. We made it through the the semi's of our state try outs but failed dismally once the comp started hottin up. |

Judge the player not by their stats, but by their opposition.

Trials start in April and the tournament is in June or July. I go trials, if I play well, I get pick! Simple as that. The good thing is, there is a guy who is on the board who first saw me and got me to train and he and I are real close so that's a plus.

Shows your lack of knowledge in understanding posts! If you looked at the post I made, it was all about telling a lad how to bowl a delivery.
So I'm guessing W.G is the great W. Grace then! Atleast my username ain't lame like yours. Shows your thinking doesn't go far does it......

No lad, mis understanding! I am an expert with these meaning "knowing how to bowl them!" Why do you think I posted "cause I bowl them all." If I meant a meastro bowler, I would have just said, "I'm an expert leg spinner." Knowing how to bowl deliveries and bowling them is 2 different thing. The former I am good at and the latter, not great!

You know the old saying, "a liar has no memory." Go back some pages in some of these spin thread and you will see.
I never did claim to be amazing! Find the post where I said that and I will bow down to you as master. And you're dead right, I am not that brilliant! Atleast I have the guts to say it!
