Chase is playing on home turf he should be familiar with the conditions on day 5.

Don't you see Pakistan employing their wrist spinners/long hop bowlers to good effect? And they are less experienced than BiSHoo at that venue.

If we had a wrist spinner we could have used him too.

A finger spinning leggie. Get it right.

But this thread is not about Bishoo. Do not restrict it to Bishoo lest I be accused of picking on him.

Dude you sure about that????

This is the firt time it has been mentioned that a leg spinner is a finger spinner.

You try bowling a leg break with your fingers, without employing your wrist?

Check the difference where Yasir places the ball in his hands, and where it leaves at the point of delivery and the use of the wrists when the ball leaves the hand and compare it with Bishoo...and this is what prevents Bishoo from having variety...in particular bowling the googly... the lack of wrist spin.

The wrist work with the ball coming over the wrist is what produces the googly. Bishoo has a very stiff wrist at the point of delivery. The ball never comes over the wrists. It's mainly side spin. His bowling arm if you notice will naturally be lower. Shah will get further to the top. It makes a huge difference.

It's the wrist spin which gets the ball to move in the opposite direction...producing the googly.

Yasir Shah is a wrist Spinner with plenty variety using his wrists to full effect and Bishoo is more dependent on side spin. Bishoo did not learn the art legspin in his younger days and it will be very difficult to do so now. He is an ordinary legbreak bowler fullstop.

This is the first time it has been mentioned that a leg spinner is a finger spinner.

Bishoo is a finger spinning legbreak bowler and that's why he releases the ball further away from his body. There is hardly wrist spin and the ball will hardly move in the opposite direction. It's mainly side spin. Bishoo's midlle, fourth and pinky fingers do most of the work. Shah's index, middle finger and wrist on the other hand do most of the work.

When Shah bowled from around the wicket today it was mainly side spin. He was trying to turn the ball big with little or no variation to his bowling thru the use of the rough where the balls grips more and exaggerates the spin.

Batsmen look for these subtleties in wrist action to decide which ball is coming. Bowlers who can disguise their actions as a result of wrist spin are more difficult to pick.

This guy professes to be a cricket afficionado and is equating finger spin with legbreak bowling. How d fcuk can one bowl legbreak by finger spin and not employ one's wrist? It defies the laws of physics.

Spuds where are you iyah, please school this dude. lol

Male menopause is called andropause.


Andropause, or male menopause, is the term commonly used by many physicians to refer to hormonal changes that occur in men as a result of aging.
