Everyone at my club wants me to bowl it cos I'm apparently good at it but I get demoralised when it doesn't 'come out right' if you know what I mean.

I have no problems turning it, or getting drift etc. I just can't really get the length right :P

I don't (I think) bowl out of the back of my hand, I hold it with Warne's two up two down grip, then give it a good rip.

I bowl off spin out the front of my hand and even the same out the back of my hand, to very opposite methods to bowl and dissapointigly with the same outcome!

I can bowl every single type of spin delivery but the odd thing is that most of them get played the same way, smashed out the ground.

I don't just have to bowl spin for that to happen!
