"The bird trying to fly" bowling action was the best

Some interesting bowling actions:

There are a few variations on the Paul Adams actions. Is there a name for this style ?

Some of the others are just funny run ups

Froggy Thomson, the Australian opening bowler, should be in there, a good view of him bowling the first ball in this video

Nice. First time I'd ever seen Froggy bowl. Swings his arms as much as he swings the ball!

This might be a bit left field (isn't everything in this thread left field?) but the memory people have for cricket is astonishing on this site. In the best Australian captain thread for example, OverratedSanity recalled Ricky Ponting putting Cameron White on to bowl in a 2008 series which turned out to be a very bad decision. OS especially seems to have an astounding memory of matches, whereas I can barely recall the England vs India series. Is it normal for people to good memories in relation to cricket, or is it unusual?

I can only recall world cups with that much detail though I didn't pay that much attention to detail until recently

 

[cnerd123]

OS always has freakishly good memory. Even when it comes to CW memes and ****. I suspect he probably just remembers bits and pieces like the rest of us, but unlike us he does the hard work of looking up the details before he posts. But who knows, maybe he really is just one of those weirdos who can draw a whole map from memory.

 

[cnerd123]

Although TBF that Ponting not wanting to get hit with a slow over rate suspension and bowling rubbish part timers instead of Watson who was reversing it loads is something i recall too.

Yeah I have shockingly bad memory when it comes to this. Sometimes I pretend I've remembered something off hand when I've actually googled it.

I've got a pretty good memory about matches I've watched and players stats generally, I'd say.

Shame it's such a bloody useless thing to have a good memory for.

Was getting all excited before I realized that Dwayne Leverock didnt play in the 1983 world cup...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I guess I can get the role of Faoud Bacchus

For some reason I have a great memory for matches from my first 5-6 years of following cricket, but since then I really don't remember much. Not sure if this is normal or not.
