Hi Charlie

I don’t have a problem with it! You probably need to check with the umpires if you are concerned.

Cheers

No worries, mate, it sounds like you are getting advice but not the advice you want! You live and die by your results and as such need to be prepared to back your own skills and ideas rather than those of others against the batsman. That said if I was your captain I would want you bowling to get batsmen out rather than bowling to prevent them getting on top of you! Doing things your own way may be the best way to go as very recently Cricket Australia banned the Doosra, so you’ll be lucky to find any help with that one. My advise if to back yourself, evaluate the results and if they are good keep going and if not assess what you need to change and go again. Good luck.

thanks mark… my stock ball is an off spinning delivery with alot of over spin bowled off 1 finger in order to disguise the doosra… i have the offspinning ball where it needs to be most of the time with the varients there about 75% of the time, i just work on the theory that a batsman cant get on top of you if your bowling 7 different balls few times rather than 1 ball many times. having said that how many spinners bowl a different nut every ball in world cricket… i play A grade in east gippsland victoria and being a country league its hard to find anyone who can give me advise on variations, everybody i speak to suggests the stock ball i was just kind of hoping that you would be able to suggest something or someone
