I'm yet to actually take a wicket (I have been very unfortunate not to) but my best is a leg break that beat the batsman but almost shaved the stumps, millimetres from bowling him XD]]> Sat, 01 Dec 2007 15:32:41 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=165882#165882 Your best bowl : inswinging yorkers are my favorite... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=161008#161008 Author: inswinger

inswinging yorkers are my favorite bal to bowl. prety much every time it gets the wicket. especially on the days im really swinging it.
they are extreemly hard to keep out especially when bowled at the right times.

also. for STNOOR
the taped up tennis ball will always swing double as much as a normal ball. i feel bowling with that makes me thing swing is too easy so i stuck to bowling the normal ball and im swinging it like a beast. just experiment and exagerate with grips and you may find some more swing comes your way

That's well known and not well liked by batsman but it does help immensly and is a good way of practicing against swing bowlers. Inswinging yorkers are tough, you really have to be concentrating and with those balls you never know how fart he ball can swing back in.]]> Fri, 19 Oct 2007 13:44:50 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=160960#160960 Your best bowl : That's good practice for... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=160902#160902 Author: spin wizard

That's good practice for the batsman. When I'm at home, me and my brother usually tape up a tennis ball - sometimes one side so it acts as reverse swing and other times, we put tape as a seam so the ball will swing conventionally if you get the seam position correct! Turns out I got very good at the balls going away from me but I hate those bloody inswinging yorkers!]]> Fri, 19 Oct 2007 00:02:31 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=160902#160902 Your best bowl : Originally posted by top-of-off My... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=160879#160879 Author: STNOOR

Next ball started outside leg by a few feet and swung back so he just played a normal leg glance. Third time lucky, I thought and my god it was. It started out a foot outside leg and swung SOO far, I couldn't believe it. He played for the backward defensive stroke covering all but a smidgeon of the bail. Yes, thats right, I whiskered the bail and it fell off the stump. He didn't even know he'd been bowled. It was a wonderful feeling, despite the cheating nature of it.
   I usually open the bowling for my club and I bowl it about 65 mph which gives the ball a chance to swing as I'm not particularly fast. I will never forget that ball till the day I die.

   Oh and I once set the bowling machine to a 95mph inswinging yorker starting out on off and moving to leg. Gave my mate a fright, I'll tell you, considering he plays in our 3rd XI. Wink


ahhh hehe a little cheating doesn't hurt anybody . I did the same stuff, but in my case i was fair. we play with tennis ball, so i taped one side of the ball and left the other one and man i got a hat trick and 2 more wicket in that over , that guy don't know how to swing the ball but he was using the same ball as me so i was fair Big%20smile. He didn't knew why i have tapped the ball on one side and left the other hehe, he insisted on completely covering it but if i had done it, how would i have got hat trick Wink.

Haven't swung the ball as much as that day, the ball was just inswinging and after pitching, it kept going between his bat and legs and hitting stumps, what a feeling damn, it felt so great Big%20smile.

I wish i can swing like that without cheating Cry

My best bowl was during a match against a team around the middle of the table we had took  a few wickets but then a batter came in who defended nearly everything we sent up against him and he made some steady runs we dropped about two chances on him i was put on too bowl on my second over i sent thebowl just about 2 inches away from off stump as he played it it cut in and sent the stump flying.xD I smiled a lot after that.]]> Mon, 06 Aug 2007 17:00:53 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=149089#149089 Your best bowl : Mine is one I will remember for... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=148790#148790 Author: ketz

Mine is one I will remember for ever. It was on a turning track and I was bowling to a left hander who was on about 76. They had a 3 wickets left and needed 28 off 5 overs and we all knew this guy could get them over the line. I come in to bowl my off spin and flight the ball right on leg stick. He plays for the turn with his bat on middle. The ball zips past the edge and knocks the off-stick half way up.

First our bowlers we're getting a bit of a slapping away bowling tat balls. I they needed about 20 with about 8 overs left with about 5 wickets remaining. I get brought on (I'm usually first change bowler) and I'm quite decent at bowling at the death (I can get some swing at the end) and the two bats at the other end are well in.

First ball I bowl was left it was quite a good leave because the ball wasn't too far away from the stumps it swung in.

Second ball I've bowled it a bit fuller and he's in two minds to leave or play it at it, in the end it swung late and just play an in between shot it hit his pad, all the team went up (I'm very loud on the field) and he gave it, it was plum though

my second wicket I manage to pitch it on off stump on a good length and it seemed away caught the edge and  my mate Matty the keeper took it nice and easy

The other bowler I think it was my mate Chris on at the other end, he was getting a bit of tanking so I had to bowl even more tighter. I was very fired up, I like to compare myself to an Allan Donald with my attitude and fireyness. I was at that time probably the quickest bowler in our side this when I was about 14-15 I could bowl about 60 mph and get it swing, and I sometimes got abit too fired up.

At this time I had my tail up and I run in for my third over and I was fire up I bowled a good length ball and it was swing into him it just zipped past his edge (leftie) then I bowled a very good bouncer that he had to duck out of the way of, then after that I got him with a yorker that swung into him. then we only needed to wickets to win I finish the rest of my over with a single and dot balls

last over I bowled it was the second from last over and mt last over I tie this kid up with a few good length balls then I bowled him with an off cutter that cam right back into him. was a beautiful ball. They still had a guy who was on 50 so he tried to keep him off of the strike cus he was gonna give us a canning. So we tried to give the tailender the strike but putting the field back abit they needed 6 to win off of the last over, they didn't take the single.

Last over they knocked them off, the tailender edged it to 3rd man and he got the kid who was past his 50. They knocked them off in the last over. I felt so disapointed though :-(

I ended up with my figures being 4/7 which is one of the best spells I've ever bowled. I've got 5 fors before but I mean I gave my heart and soul for the team, but ehhh it happens was a great game though really tense. Cus they're a posh club and we're a bunch of riff raffs, scrubbers, working class lads and they're a bunch of snobs. We always wanna stuff the snobs cus they always look down on us, and we nearly did it aswell :-(

Would have to be a two wicket in two ball over. I got one batsmen playing and missing at every ball, and the fifth one was a perfect yorker bowled.

The second was caught and bowled.

Probably the quickest i have ever bowled, i have a very slingy action.

Sometimes if you bowl cross seam the ball will spit off a length or even fuller if it lands right, which can have surprising results as the batsman suddenly has a ball rearing toward his throat as he expects to drive it.]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2007 21:47:23 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=128033#128033 Your best bowl : so has anyone else got a good... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=128028#128028 Author: 70_degree_spin

Bowled one that pitched maybe 6 inches outside off stump, cut back in with extra bounce and hit the splice of the batsman's bat and he edged it to our 2nd slip.]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2007 10:59:59 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=126528#126528 Your best bowl : it was in a friendly match,... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=126481#126481 Author: SEHWAG NO.1

My best one was probably a little match we played last summer in the local park. I was bowling to my friend, who's just one of those batsmen you hate with a passion because it seems no matter what you do you just can't get them out.
Anyway, in the last over I'd bowled to him he'd hit me for 18 (3 sixes and 3 dots) so I knew that he'd come charging down the wicket to reach the flight.
As I finished my run up he started to advance so I bowled him a topspin bouncer and he was left in no mans land when the keeper whipped the bails off.
It didn't matter in the way that proper matches do but it was a personal victory.

Probably an inswinging yorker which broke the middle stump. Then I repeated it next over, same result - wicket.]]> Mon, 16 Apr 2007 22:31:23 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3499&PID=126468#126468
