Good stuff Faisal, glad it helped. I am a big believer of bowling wicket to wicket.

I think when you get the umpire to stand back and bowl really close to the stumps, don’t worry about hitting the wickets with your trailing foot, the umpire automatically starts to think LBW before you even hit the pads.

I suppose temptation is to bowl “too straight” to top order batsmen. When the batsman’s very good they will love that.

I find it hard to bowl balls that go away from left handers, I don’t really have enough pace and if its not swinging and on a length outside off stump it usually ends up at the boundary!
