ME: I am 13 I live in NW England and I love cricket. I plan on joining my local adult team next season if all goes well.
BOWLING: I Bowl right arm-offspin and can get a lot of turn on the ball. I can also bowl a little bit of leg-spin but find it hard to get the same quntity of turn. My leg-spinners aren't exactly deseptive however and are certainly not doosra's. I also can use the arm ball to quite good effect. - Basically can anyone tell me how to make my Arm ball and Leg-spinner more effective and also is there any great advantage of coming Round the wicket to a left hander?
BATTING: Can play shots well but tend to step away from my stumps to much when facing fast bowlers. I think its because I'm scared of getting hit at a high speed. Can anyone help?
Also if you have any general coments/tips I'd be greatful!
Cheers!
Lets see......
Firstly for a 13 year old, you know your game very well!!!
Don't get mixed up with off spin and the leggies....
by what you have written, I would rather have you bowl off spin. The trick of bowling the arm bowl well is not just 'bowling' it well but also in how you prepare for it with your previous deliveries. I would usually like to get the batsman pushing to my deliveries before I bowl my arm ball, this gives me a better shot at getting him bowled or caught at forward short leg.
As for bowling round the wicket to lefties is concerned, I do it more to increase my chances with the LBW decision.
Batting will come. Don't worry. If u think the faster bowlers have you pulling back, wear enough protection so that u feel confident. Also, practice a lot in the nets.
