Did Lillee's action get more aesthetically pleasing as he got older and bowled slower? It looks a bit rushed with less of a jump in the early 70s.

Love Patto's action

Warne had pretty much the perfect action for leg-breaks and Courtney had a wonderful, rangy, loose-limbed elegance about him.

wellAlbidarned · 17-01-2013, 11:15 PM

Warne's action was beautiful but I definitely wouldn't say it's the model leg-break action for kids. Relies on sheer power through the shoulder and wrist, MacGill utilised run-up speed much better.

Regardless,
Warne
Patto
Walsh
Hooper

Yeah 1.5 each is fine and makes sense. I wasn't sure that's what you were implying. It's still allocating 10 points across 4 players, so all good.

Yep, I'll take some of this too.
