What type of bowler are you?

Originally posted by fishcake14 There are a lot opf spinners here in Scotland (well, that I've come across) who are taught to be Andy Symonds; bowl spin and pace. It's a reasonable idea but I'd be more inclined to focus one one thing.

Only met 2 other leggies. One bowls pace as well. This lads going to India to train so he's a pure prodigy

dont want to rush him probably, If he gets knocked about then he could lose confidence but he spins it 70 degrees. So far he hasnt bowled me out in nets but he's beaten my bat more than a few times. 

I agree though fishy, I think that he should have been given more games. He never seemed to play badly. Plus the club is so huge. Over 250 members so our first XI is amazing.

and I just had a fake belief that this very thread was about YOU and not HE, it was only after reading the latest stuff that I was able to discover the hidden reality.

I'm a Right Arm Off Spinner. I just recently posted a Off Spin Tutorial and a video link etc. I don't play for a club, but I will be joining soon! I can usually only Bowl Off Breaks and Top Spinners, But I can occaisonly bowl a decent arm ball. I have made a doosra land once,mind you it was 90% illegal, as I completely bent my elbow, and it was quite obvious. But it landed and got some slight turn...I still remeber very clearly. But Im working on a new Grip which I find if you Use your Middle finger and your thumb slightly......If you can get a decent amount of spin with the seam in the correct direction then it can occasionly turn a tad. but the thumb works with a flick action, it works Ok :S, but I still need a decent amount of practise..........lol, I'll probably be 25 or something, still without being able to bowl it. But then again, Dan Cullen for SA Redbacks, he has been said to be able to bowl the Doosra, and he is only 22?????

That's where you get all the kids who have talent and put them in a squad and let them bowl their 4 overs or whatever regardless, even if they go at 30 an over. You keep a kid on with talent for long enough, he'll do something!

It comes down to what the ECB wants out of county cricket, is county cricket there to provide players for England? or are they solely focused on winning matches?

I'm a right arm off-break bowler, I don't turn the ball especially much but I get a bit of turn which goes the right way, but my key is I'm accurate, I try to attack the batsmen and try and trick them into playing big shots and getting their wickets.

I am a right arm leg spin bowler. I was formally a medium pace bowler but decided try something new last year and haven't looked back. I can spin the ball a reasonable amount depends how much work i put on it. Am currently working on the googly.

I bowled 2 overs of leg-spin on our end of season game: "Old Boys Vs Young Old Boys"...

im pretty good at flighting the ball, my mate who i go to nets with twice a week says that i have a habbit of putting the ball in a place that he dosnt know whther to play frount or back foot, thats a good thing i guess...

no bragging there

Originally posted by Pietersen Fan no bragging there   in that case, i can seriously bowl the flipleg glider, it does loop-the loops in the air, then drifts, and skids whist off-leg spinning   n ur too big to be a spinner   so how far can you rip a ball?
