I was coming round wicket pitching on 5th stump still hitting middle middle and leg so had to work out a new way as the kind of players I play against work out a way to play against spin quickly so need to be on your toes

Thanks for the replya guys! Guess after reading through those articles and after your advice, il look to not try and bowl the 'perfect delivery' and to work on my control first off, also feel that my run needs improvement so will also work on that.

If you can, get a little bit of coaching, I've had a few sessions and it has really helped to understand the mechanics of it.
I'm now getting consistent drift! bounce and turn in the nets, and cannot wait for the season to start :)
The biggest change was my run up, it is now very very straight, rather than 45degrees, this means I have to pivot up and over rather than round, it has worked for me.

Good luck with it.
