    Which GM bat

    gm icon ftw! the icon is the buisness, a real gem of a bat. the hero is like every other bat like it, kookaburra ice, hunts county pulse, adidas pellara. they all feel quite heavy, cos the sweetspot is low, and they r awesome on drives, but useless on sweeps n wat not.

    Batting technique

    well, coming to think of it, there nothing wrong with a forward defensive as long as thers a 100% chance u stay in when playing it. so as long as bat and pad are together, as long as the bat faces the ground, your fine

    trigger movements

    right, iv decided to adopt a back and across trigger back foot back and across, front foot pressed forward just before ball is delivered, it should work, because im always look to go on the front foot but if its short i can deal with it in an orthodox fashion.

    spin bowling problems

    hmmm, aparently monty panesar has that, and he uses the flexibility to bowl doosras occasionly for northants, but the umpires would o**** that as chucking i suppose, especialy for england. off spin is easily the easiest skill in cricket, well, finger spin is. thats y so many matsmen take it...

    Playing spin bowling

    any spinnr should know wat to in every situation whether the batsman is left or right handed, so a simple idea is, look up off spin on the internet, look at the line they bowl and apply to left handers. simple. i had the smae problem wen i went chinaman for a while,(im left handed) good...

    All Rounder

    just play the ball as it comes to you, even if there are fielders there, cos the bowler cant get the ball ther every time can he? the more time you spend in the middle, even if its for a lost cause, is valuable, cos i was always ****ting myslef in the middle but now im chilling.

    Playing spin bowling

    as a left arm finger spinner i can say, use the around the wicket and over the wicket as a weapon more than your stock. i do listen to shane warne, he ses if you force the batsman to open himself out, he is more likely to make a mistake because youv upset his rhythm. i generaly go for left arm...

    Slazenger range??

    Slazenger range??

    should do, becos if u talk to any coach, they will say a heavy bat means u need more strength, and if you dont have it, you use more bottom hand in straight bat shots. so it should make a difference. it did with me, i had an old hunts county pulse, it was horrid, and i didnt have any control...
