Ah Ha, that's why I get alot of bounce everytime the batsman plays and misses the bowl bounces over the wicket it annoys me cause it's impossible for me to bowl someone out with the amount of bounce I get.


Well in this situation you either need to bowl the ball slightly fuller so it hits the stumps or get a straight one that stays down.

basicaly turning it more than 90 degrees anticlockwise from where it pitches, practically impossible, and has never been done, also if you did this youd no ball every time

You would have to get massive backspin and side spin and bowl a pathethetically slow looping ball for that to ever work, not to mention how easy it would be to hit.

How is it a no-ball I mean it bounces near the edge so its like |_| and im coming around the wicket and I get it to bounce right in that right corner near the edge just a bit back and spins into the stumps.

how can you not be good at them all? i would get in my club team with off spin, leg spin or swing bowling. u cant do it, so u may think no one can do it but i sure there are a lot of bowlers who can happily switch between bowling styles.

I Would consider my self as a aggressive bowler becuase i always attack the batsman and try different things but i can also be a defensive bowler alway bowling line and lenght and if the batsman trys 2 play a nifty shot it will be hard for him :)

I am a predictable good bowler, that is how I would call my self. I gey nice shape away from right hander and in for lefties, but that is just about it. I can bring the ball bakc into the right hander and or leave the leftie. So it makes it easy for batsman to know whats gonna happen next. I do seriously have a good line and leng, with reasonable rise. So if a batsman settles in they know what to do off me. I depend on my ball pitching ouside leg stump going on to off for which i can never get an LBW decesion for or pitch it in between middle and off stump going away I bacome too predictable if I do not get wkts early on, how do I being it backinto right hander. I am a left amr over type of a bowler.

I am an inconsistent medium pacer (so I'm told) but then I have only just started learning Big%20smile

Apparently I have got the bowl to swing a bit in the air, the only problem is I didn't see it and I have no idea (if indeed it did) how... Wink

You just have to watch out for the occasional beamer!!!

I am a medium pacer, good at slower balls and can cut it aswell. Very accurate until recent, i just can't seem to make everything work. Confused

I am a leg spinner. I would say that i am pretty reliable. But, at the level i play for mens (the umpires are batsmen waiting to come in or have already gotten out) i get a lot of appeals turned down :( - which results in a low number of wickets. As i am only 14 i get attacked by the batsman, and as i expect good things my head goes down. Also the bad fielders at my level results in hardly any wickets aswell. I come on 1st change and once i came on in the 5th over of a 40 over match! Smile

Tried to bowl off-spin but couldn't turn the bowl. Now trying my hand at medium-slow pace. At beginners stage though.

A 70mph or so medium pacer. Usual ball is an inswinger, but I can get it to go away as well. Always had a problem with accuracy, but I feel I've finally fixed that. Good enough to be a change bowler at the club level I have been playing at. Certainly better than several I've faced!
 
I used to be able to bowl a bit of leg spin but I seem to have lost the knack, and my off-spinners don't spin... I do however bowl quite a good cross-seam cutter which almost has a spinner action, only at about 65mph instead of 40...
I swing both ways - but only when I'm bowling!

i'm an attacking leg spin bowler i get a lot of turn
especially with my googlies. But as i play with men who
don't really know how to bat and try and slog every ball
i get whacked a lot but i do usually get a few wickets.
