roo boys!

I hate facing spin bowlers :P You would expect that batting at 3, coming in during the second over you wouldn't face a spinner bowling the first ball of the fourth over? You would be wrong :P

I don't face spinners at the beginning of my innings R&B ::) Most of the time...
But because I come forward to play my shots it smothers the spin and it is just like someone is bowling seriously slowly at me.
I must admit though the left arm around bowling across often gets me caught behind :P

I know, I didn't expect to, but I did!

That's the trick of being a left armer ;)

Master Q

If a left arm bowler is bowler across outside off stump, all you do is walk over Off Stump and push it to the leg side. Hard to explain, sort of a jab to Square leg...

roo boys!

What if he can swing it in though? ;)

Master Q

Then... Then You're Screwed  :P

roo boys!

Woohoo! Go me! If only I could swing it out more....but the angle across makes up for that, and helps
take plenty of wickets (including Alex's ;))

You will never get me out.
Seriously though angling across and swinging in to the right hander from a left arm around is...impossible. Good luck getting a tennis ball to swing though ::)

WTH? How am I going to hit a ball wide of off angling away to square leg? Unless he is bowling too straight and I can work it off my pads.
