    How to measure bowling speed

    How to measure bowling speed

    How to measure bowling speed

    learning leg spin in nets on a concrete wicket, plus some other issues.

    hi there, this is my first post on the forum. i am trying to learn the art of leg spin, and am having mixed success. i dont yet play for a team, im nowhere near good enough or confident enough to bowl at real batsmen. instead i bowl at my brother who isnt a good enough batsman to play for a team...
