Ripped off bowling actions

[Shady Slim]

Both Zampa and Swepson are Warne impressions, even if less exact.

Warne inadvertently ruined many kids' shoulders and led to thousands of leg spinners who either bowl too slowly, too inaccurately or can't spin the ball. Leg spin is harder to bowl at the right pace with any control, and puts significantly more stress on the body (I have a paper proving the latter somewhere). If you've got Warne's massive fingers, wrists, arms and shoulders, then ambling in and putting in all the effort at the crease is fine. But most of the legions of imitators don't have that, and they need to run in longer and significantly faster.

kinda funny when you consider swepson's whole issue is he sucks he bowls too fast and too flat to let the ball weave

Heh. Obviously I wasn't covering everyone. Too slow, too little spin is what I see in club and junior everywhere.

I do think the Swepson's Warne-esque run still does contribute to his inconsistency. Even when he bowls well he looks very lacking in rhythm.

Vaas copied Wasims move of hiding the ball during delivery.

Vettori and Turnell always seemed similar not sure if it was coincidence.

I think Umar Gul was a McG fan and did the leap-in like his hero.

AVishkar Salvi - Glenn McGrath

Munaf Patel too

Adam Milne and Matt Henry-Shane Bond

Unpopular opinion, but I felt that Bumrah's action is like watching a slingy version of Andy Roberts.

A lot of leggies have success bowling loopy and ripping it at lower levels but have to bowl faster once they hit FC because players know how to use their feet

Was thinking Mushtaq Ahmed looked similar to Abdul Qadir and see he acknowledges he copied him when he started out.

You need to see an optometrist.
