Title: For all the medium pace bowlers out there - which category are you?
Post by: Chalkie on August 04, 2017, 05:16:37 PM: Saw this article on Club medium bowlers today and recognised myself and a few forumites in the different categories.

Which one are you, or should there be other categories to cover your 'special' way of bowling? ;)

If I don't know whether it'll land on the square, whether it'll spin, whether it'll bounce 4 times... then what chance does the batsman have?

If I don't know where it's going the batsman hasn't got any hope! Actually as there's no place to it they have time to pick it, decide where to hit it, adjust accordingly, wind up the back swing then dispatch it, but still... :-[

Post by: Gurujames on August 04, 2017, 07:59:15 PM: I'm a 'net' bowler. I bowl ok when I have the tunnel factor of a net. But when i bowl out in the middle the long hop drag downs and leg stump half volleys come out.

Post by: SOULMAN1012 on August 04, 2017, 09:42:09 PM: Personally Dibbly-Dob probably around 55-60mph at best and let the pitch do the rest, my bowling has had a bit of a come back this season as only had to keep in a couple of occcassions and getting back into the swing of things. Speared on by the memories of my mamouth after tea spell a few years ago now in a CBF game vs Matt at H4L side for the few that can lay claim to the greatest spell of Dibbly- Dob
