will trying 2 keep my arm as high and straight as possible make me chuck ??
wot is an arm ball ?? is it the one that doesn't spin ?? how do u bowl it

 

[KennyD]

^no, no keeping your arm high and straight is good, allows you to get that curl away from the batsmen.

My lil joke of dont throw the ball is in reference to a highly controversial yet sucessful off spinner in the world, who many believe that he does not legally deliver the ball.

I guess it just wasnt obvious enough...I'll try harder next time, i promise.

If your arm is dead straight all the way around the delivery, it can't be a chuck. The most common chuck in someone trying to bowl offies is when they straighten at the top of the action, but that is hugely, blatantly obvious and you'll feel it yourself - it's nowt to worry about. Just ignore Kenny, he's got a questionable sense of humour.

The arm ball is one that goes the other way to the standard off break, because it's delivered like an outswinger. Even if it doesn't move away, the fact that you haven't imparted as many revs on the ball will mean it won't turn and should skid through on damp NZ wickets. I'll see if I can get hold of some photos/diagrams of grip/release.

...with more than 15 degrees of flex.

When bowling the arm ball you could try this: aim the seam towards the slips as opposed to your normal delivery where it is pointed in the direction of the batsman.

victorian premier cricket, vtca is just like a suburban competition
