Normal modern narrow-fingered grip. I might add it doesn't seem to vary between deliveries either.I don't have footage of Asif bowling it on hand tbh, but I know that Saker and Anderson cited him as one of the people who led them to work on it in 2010.
The Compton-Miller medal in his trophy cabinet says otherwisehe’s really not though lol
should've gone to starceh tbh, and i was calling for starc to be dropped heading into the series as much as i was travThe Compton-Miller medal in his trophy cabinet says otherwise
Anyone who suscribes to the Shane Warne viewpoint on Starc really is a weapons grade numbskull. No single cricketer in all of Australia gets such a disproportionate level of critisism relative to performance, mostly from idiot casuals who neither know nor care about what alternatives are available at the domestic levelshould've gone to starceh tbh, and i was calling for starc to be dropped heading into the series as much as i was trav
Yeah this is probably where I heard it from - he needed to adjust his grip to get control over the slightly tilted seam. Then Broad copied him, then the Australians copied them starting in about 2015, which is why you now hear them all talking about the wobble seamer.Anderson, on the other hand, has a very narrow grip for both the inswinger and the outswinger.
if this were true, then i wouldn't have conceded that starc proved me wrong in the ashes and deserved the compton millerAnyone who suscribes to the Shane Warne viewpoint on Starc really is a weapons grade numbskull.

Honestly, between this and your advocation for Hameed despite his abject failure to perform, it honestly seems like the rationale for rating or not rating players doesn't extend beyond purely emotion driven "I just like/don't like them" type garbage
Head deserved it more IMO. Starc faded as the series went on.if this were true, then i wouldn't have conceded that starc proved me wrong in the ashes and deserved the compton miller
series was already substantively done by the time starc faded though - if we are counting all five tests equally then you can't go past boland imhoHead deserved it more IMO. Starc faded as the series went on.
This is the best rating system actually.it honestly seems like the rationale for rating or not rating players doesn't extend beyond purely emotion driven "I just like/don't like them" type garbage
as if there are other optionsit honestly seems like the rationale for rating or not rating players doesn't extend beyond purely emotion driven "I just like/don't like them" type garbage
Boland only played three games. Head being good isn't, like, a crime against cricket, there was nothing at all wrong with him getting the gong.series was already substantively done by the time starc faded though - if we are counting all five tests equally then you can't go past boland imho
it's a crime against humanityHead being good isn't, like, a crime against cricket
I like Travis Head though.it's a crime against humanity
curiously head only got big big runs in two and did okay in a third soBoland only played three games. Head being good isn't, like, a crime against cricket, there was nothing at all wrong with him getting the gong.
Yeah, two tests is practically nothing. Totally meaningless contribution. Will be forgotten in a weekcuriously head only got big big runs in two and did okay in a third so
of course, it's not as if my post was referencing how many tests he made a big boy contribution in vs how many boland made a big boy contribution in or any thing ehYeah, two tests is practically nothing. Totally meaningless contribution. Will be forgotten in a week
