    Thanks Fred! however I'm not sure if I can send pm's as it it says they have been disabled. I assume visitor messages are the alternative?

    Awesome, I had a look if I could find a copy in my local library but had no luck. It's a shame that some of the books from this period have not been uploaded online already, surely their copyright's have run out by now. Let us know if you come up with something!

    Hi Red, I've been looking at purchasing CTB Turner's book, 'The Quest for The Bowlers'. I've been told that you possibly used the cover as your avatar recently, so just wanted to ask if you've ever read it before, and if so would you say it's worth it?

    I'll be happy to do so! That's a good spot, I just remembered seeing the cover around here too. I'll pop him a PM and see what I come up with.

    I see, I haven't read any of his works but in that case I'll have a look at both the Rogerson and Thompson books:thumbup1: Edit: Just another question. Has anyone read 'The Quest for The Bowlers' by CTB Turner and if so, is it worth it for 30 quid, being rare and all?

    Awesome, which would you say is better for anecdotes and the like? I'd rather not have to read through a bunch of stats in written form.

    Historical footage: Impressions of some greats

    Not sure if this was posted before, but a very short clip of Ranji and C.B Fry batting in 1901. (Ranji originator of the helicopter shot confirmed?) I've also always wondered if there was any footage of Tom Richardson, and it seems like there was in fact some footage of him bowling. However...

    15th June - 2nd Semifinal - India vs Bangladesh

    On the topic of Bangladesh bowlers, what about Abu Hider/Haider? I remember watching him in one of his first T20I's last year, can't remember against who, but in this one match he was beating the bat and catching the edge a lot but he ended up with no wickets at all. Looking at his recent...

    Bowlers who you like/don't like to watch

    As much as I like Kulasekara, his bowling action bothers me so much. Going through from a strong run up to small little steps before his load up just looks so ungainly, problem is, I do the same thing with my bloody bowling. Herath's action should be considered the perfect left arm spinner's...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2017

    True that, hopefully he doesn't let this affect his future bowling performances. The Shannon Gabriel in this test series is the best Shannon Gabriel I have seen so far, and he still has the potential to be better. It's been a great test series though! West Indies and Pakistan have both been...

    Marshall Vs Ambrose

    Good point, maybe add Courtney Walsh in there too. I'm surprised that Garner's name hardly ever comes up in these polls though.

    Anyone know if there is a UK broadcast of this series?

    Rabada vs Starc

    Come to think of it, has he even been injured since his debut in 2015? though the guy's a machine for the sheer lack of injuries anyway I think Rabada is definitely more dangerous in Tests than ODI's. Starc has improved in the test format though. Currently I think Starc is the better bowler...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Imagine that in an exhibition T20 match :laugh: I don't follow Aussie domestic cricket, but isn't Cummins only JUST returning to first class cricket? it would be a big short term vs long term risk if they brought him in, and he gets injured again.

    The Master Class Collection

    Great idea for a thread! This is a recent bowling Masterclass from Waqar Younis. . It's much better than a previous one that he did. King Curtly also had a really good one on Sky last year, but it's been taken off Youtube. This was posted on this forum last year, I think, but I'll add it here...

    *Official* Bangladesh in New Zealand 2016/2017

    From what I've seen via the Slo-Mo footage of bowlers grips, is that Mustafiz's cutter is pure wrist action. I think what makes it even more effective, is that the normal seam or swing deliveries he bowls use pure wrist action as well. Also for his cutter he seems to release it with a little...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

    I see why it could be the end for Steyn, he hasn't been in the best of form recently + he's broken down quite a few times now mid-tour. I just hope he doesn't rush himself back into the game. It would just be a shame for his career to end like this, even if he has cemented himself as the great...
