The cliché involving a nail and a head is appropriate here. I have a friend with the same "issue". Not a lot else from what I (certainly no quick bowling expert!) can tell!

He had the same sort of action as you, took wickets though! He had the same jump as you, down to a t!

Post by: Mr Cricket on March 27, 2011, 09:19:52 PM: Haha AKA Bobby West! Easty had his ups and downs. quiet lad, very quick across the ground, nicknamed 'the serpent' for the way he seemed to glide and slither around. enjoyed a beer, but only if it was 'real ale'. underrated tail ender who could have batted higher up if we needed. I would describe Easty's bowling action as Varied, sometimes he would run in from 30 yards, other times 10, sometimes his follow through would take him up to the batsman, other times he would not follow though more than a couple of steps, used to give it a bit of a wobble and could nibble it off the seam, bowled the odd no ball but generally was a decent performer when called upon, and who could forget the jump!
