Fast Bowling

Big Swervin' Mervyn (Hughes) will be down at my club next Wednesday to work with all the fast bowlers. Will be looking forward to some tips regarding not just my cricket but fibre in a balanced diet with All-Bran!

Well. My coach somehow thought I wasn't enough of a bowler to be analysed by big Merv... but he had a lot of interesting advice and everyone was genuinely happy with his presence.

I had a chat to him about the specialist bowler having a place still in modern cricket; as we see a tendancy, especially in U/19 teams, to pick all-rounders. He said, in summary "If you're good enough at what you do (obviously McGrath was the example), then there's always going to be a place for you. Whether that be for your country, your state, or your local club."
