use to be a leg spinner and a low order batsman
people love dme bowling leg spin at my club but then i wanted to concentrate on my batting so i stopped bowling leg spin, and then after i went in to bowling fast i like to bowl aggressive so i chose to bowl fast i ahve also become a better batsman over the years |

^ loooooooooool
Im a right arm fast medium. I work up good pace at times, which can trouble most club batsmen and i naturally inswing the ball. I'd say i'm attacking, not necessarily with the fields set but just a wicket taker rather than a run container. I tend to bowl shortish spells 5/6 overs so i try to make an impact rather than just keep it tight. I can be wayward at times but thats the risk the captain takes
Quite a few captains play we as just a batsmen as its my stronger suit. I suppose everyone's got to have a chance, so batting at no. 3/4 limits my bowling opportunities.

I'm a leg spinner. Containing is not my thing, taking wickets is!
I can rip the ball a long way, can bowl the toppy, slider, googly and flipper and I have a fast backspinner as well! It's just bowled like a fast bowler would bowl but with the seam running from left to right! It skids on wickedly that way!

I attempt to bowl legspin, but being a wicket keeper there are very few oppurtunities to bowl (3 overs this season) so my bowling is gradually getting worse and worse.

If you are playing Odi matches well it fine but in test matches you are in trouble.

I am an attacking off-spinner and can get turn and wickets. I am not scared of throwing it up. However, I can bowl to contain runs if the skipper brings me on for that reason.

hey all
im a left arm chinaman bowler, who bowls with a rather unorthodox action as i only use my thumb and index finger. it spins alot, sometimes way too much
my best figures are obviously 7/45, and my strike rates around 19. |

I am a medium bowler
I am more of defensive bowler because I bowl line and length outside offstump and get wickets from fustration. Its quite enjoyable. Since I have the consistency of bowling the same line and length, I consider myself as first-class/test bowler. It's good to keep a mindset of a lot of time to fustrate batsmen.
I've recently had figures of 5-23 off 8, 4-2 off 3, 4-11 off 6, 3-6 off 8. I usually have an economy rate of 3. Don't really know my Strike rate, I think somewhere between 16-18. Average about 15.

I bowl off spin, because whenever I try leg spin, it spins off so I have about 5 different wrong 'un type deliveries!

I am a right handed swing bowler. My weird action helps me swing the ball in all conditions. Perdominantly bowling inswing i have been quite consistant over the 2007 season. I found my bowling stats online
I bowled 53.5 overs 10 maidens 154 runs 12 wicket. 2.86 being my economy 26.95 being by strike rate and 12 .83 being my average. I took 15.79% of the wickets for my team. Nothing to write home about mind you. 53.5 overs were bowled in 12 games
