He was not a Bowler.. He was an artist
As a life long English cricket fan I have to say that Shane Warne is the best spin bowler of all time. RIP.
That ball he tossed at Gatting still gives me chills. I swear Gatting thought he had survived a stumping attempt lol. Even at the time it took about 3 replays to truly understand exactly what happened
Warne was definitely the best leg spinner of all time, I think stats speaks for itself that Muttiah Muralitharan was the best spinner of all time 😊
@@neillbarnard1072nah he is no way near Warnie
@shivansh.j dude just look at the stats, it speaks for itself, he took way more wickets than Warne did at a much beter strike rate and a better average, I'm not saying Warne wasn't good he was brilliant and definitely one of the best, and without a doubt the best leg spinner, but not the best spinner overall, that must go to Muttiah Muralitharan
@@shivansh.j Muralitharan, the highest wicket taker of all times, has 800 wickets at an average of 22.72 with an astounding strike rate of 55. Shane Warne got himself 708 wickets at an average of 25.41 at a strike rate of 57.4
I’m 61 years old and no-one made me watch cricket more than Warnie did. He was fascinating to watch, and very successful as a result. And a very sad passing. RIP Warnie.
Couldn't agree more, and I'm a pom.
He was part of an incredibly entertaining and talented Australian squad too, but he was always my favorite as well.
@thatfelladownunder9396 he made me love cricket
We used to chant on the boundary "We wish you were English", I loved Shane Warne, such a brilliant player. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Warne, with a silent "E"....
Everyone called him Warnie
@@thetarotbogan Yes, Shame Warne, or Warnie. Not Shane Warnie.
hey, it's Australian slang - it's not supposed to make sense. @@stediasse
Not if pronounce it the correct German way
@@AkilaJayasekeraWarnie wasn’t German.😂
It kills me to say it as an English man but he was the greatest spin bowler of all time.
Well yeah. Who’s the English alternative? Phil Tufnell? lol
@@bernardbarry447Muttiah Muralitharan prob best spin bowler ever but his comp with Warne for most wickets was legendary and they were best mates to. one IPL the commentator was in the dug out with warne near him. Muttiah came to the outfield and between bowls he and Warne started talking shop. The commentator stopped speaking and just listened and said afterwards it was a rare honor to be that close to two of the best in the world talking spin bowling. And a learning experience.
@@gregorturner9421 Dude can't even say "Warne" he'll break his tongue over "Muralitheran"
@@bernardbarry447 Jim Laker without a doubt. Also one of the best spinners of all time
@@gregorturner9421 When you exclude the mighty Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, Warney had a better strike rate than Murali (51 vs 54). Warney was better
I never get upset when celebrities pass away but when Warnie passed it was a very sad day indeed. R.I.P Shane Warne.
Was like when Steve Irwin died. Fall heart drop
Exactly for me. It was a different feeling…
Miss you Warnie...the greatest spinner ever to touch the ball!
Forever in our hearts 💔
Warne v. Sachin - best duo ever. I am so lucky and privileged to have watched them play live!
Him delivering this tutorial for a few minutes is like Mozart giving you a quick summary of how to write a symphony. He was a one of a kind. As an English cricket fan I dreaded him playing against us. Uniquely brilliant.
Yeah that instruction on how to bowl the flipper, he makes it sound like it's easy. Just click your fingers. Yeah right. I tried that a few times, I could barely get it to land on the pitch, let alone be good enough to deceive a decent batsman. I ended up being able to bowl an okay flipper, but only by cocking my wrist hard at 90 degrees and flicking it with my little finger on the way out and twisting my hand almost upside down. Needless to say I could only do that so many times before my wrist got too painful to do it any more, and it was pretty easy for the batsman to pick it.
To be able to do it that well, with that technique, for that long, Warnie was a genius. No two ways about it. Although it's fair to point out he did end up having surgery on his finger and his shoulder, no doubt from the strain of bowling that lethal flipper. He could never bowl it quite as well after the surgeries.
Shane Warne was a great poker player as well. He bowled like he was playing poker. Messed with batsman's heads by being seemingly predictable and then doing something completely out of left field. He had patience too.
It's maybe spin bowling where the mental contest in cricket becomes the most acute - there are so many different ways you can set the field based on if you're going to try to nick an edge, or if you're trying to bait the batter in to a slog on a misjudged ball, if you're trying to just go for the wicket... I wonder if there is a video on YT where you get the live discussion of how to set a field at different points, I feel like that would be fascinating for Americans given that baseball largely uses the same fielding positions
Even as a steadfast England cricket supporter, I have nothing but love and respect for what Shane Warne brought to our beautiful game. The GOAT without any doubt whatsoever. RIP Legend.
“I feel like I could bowl this one…” The flipper 😂 Barely any international leg spinners can bowl the flipper. You couldn’t my friend, but I loved the vid! You were grasping the concepts well.
One of the greatest IMO. Bowling alone legendary but scored useful runs and had a safe pair of hands in the field, you'd want him in your slip cordon. Love and respect from a Pom.
Early in his career Warne had a flipper that was absolutely lethal, for a couple of summers in Australia it seemed like he got someone out almost every time he bowled it. He was so good at it that he even had a fake flipper he would bowl early in the over to make the batsman think he'd survived it only to wheel out the real one and get the lbw dismissal a few balls later. He was mesmerising to watch. After he had finger and shoulder surgery he couldn't bowl that lethal flipper quite the same, but he developed a few other delivery types and continued to take wickets just the same. He was an utter genius, not just as a bowler, but his ability to read the game and act accordingly was uncanny. Even after he retired from playing and became a commentator his cricketing brain was just incredible. The number of times he would predict an outcome only for it to unfold exactly as he said was so commonplace that other commentators and even some of the players began to rely on it. He always knew exactly what to do and when to do it, and he knew they were listening so he would cleverly offer an opinion from the commentary box without making it sound like he was coaching.
We will never see his like again in our lifetime. We miss you Warnie. I hope the pitches are all turners, wherever you are.
One of the most psychologically damaging things to do in any game is what the opponent LEAST wants you to do. In International cricket when Australia were playing, that was to give Warney the ball.
We loved him in England, even when he played against us - in fact at the 2005 ashes I remember the chants "We wish you were English !!". If we got thrashed, we could at least say "Yeah, but Warney was on fire.." and that made it OK, because there was pretty much nothing anyone could do against him when he was in the zone.
The was and will always be the greatest leg spin bowler of all time and one of the greatest cricket brains of all time who could terrify batsmen with a smile. He could be a thug with a bat and yet, no matter which team you supported, he was loved by EVERYONE because of his skill, competitiveness as well as his charisma & sense of humour !!!
Bradman, Sachin, Kallis, Lara, Wasim, Marshall and others will deservedly be in the Hall of Fame as legends, but Warne is the GOAT !
Imran and Sobers were both better than Kallis. Kallis has the numbers but was an attritional cricketer. Sobers and Imran won games because they were players who made the big moments happen.
@@Chapps1941 Feel free to add them to the list of Hall of Famers then. I did say "and others..." because an exhaustive list would take up a lot of room.
If you watch ESPN's Top XIs picked by other cricketers, you'll see Kallis on nearly all of them. He is a great of the game.
There are many other "attritional" players throughout history, many of which were mind numbingly boring to watch. Boycott for one, but he's also a great imo - he knew his job and stuck to it. Chris Tavare on the other hand will always be remembered for holding many records - nearly ALL of which were for slowest scoring... MULTIPLE TIMES !!! Kallis was not boring to watch, so we'll have to agree to disagree on that point.
@@jipster2020 numbers wise he's there but hardly the matchwinner type in the vein of Sobers or Imran
@@Chapps1941 He's won the most MOTM match awards in Test Match history, so he must be quite good.
@@jipster2020 Top 5
Spot on. The trick is the disguise of the different deliveries. Warne was brilliant at making all his different deliveries appear almost exactly the same through the bowling action and release.
I had a net session with Shane. These different deliveries are insanely difficult to pick in person - absolute legend, and greatly missed.
Gotta insert oneself on every and any story everywhere, very amusing to watch mate 🤣
@@wilburgraham6260 I hope one day you get to meet your hero.
@@wilburgraham6260 Always nice to meet a fan
At least that has been established, see ya back at Sky News Aust 😉 🤣
@@wilburgraham6260 Have a good one, legend!
RIP our OZZIE best - Mr Shane Warne, you will never be beaten.
this guy could make a ball do impossible things. One of the most influential bowlers of all time
Warnie was the best bloke in the game not only the best spin bowler of all time but a great bloke to boot absolutely a legend and sorely missed, rip
Miss you legend!! Warnie was a total rockstar, great leader, and complete genius. He should've captained Australia. Love from India!!
Doubt we will ever see anyone like Warne again on a cricket pitch. Bloke was one of a kind. Leg spin is a bastard to master, I never could. He made it look so easy and he dominated cricket. The control, mastery and tactics were unbelievable. I never saw Bradman but I got to see Warnie and I’m truly thankful. We lost a true legend way too soon. 😢
I felt your comment in my heart brother. Bless you. This man is sorely missed.
Apart from being supremely skilled at his craft, his presence, showmanship, ability to grab the game at those pivotal moments, and and and 😄 just puts him at the top👌👌( not to mention you always felt he had some runs in him especially when you couldn’t afford it as an opposition!)
Still can't believe he's gone really. True legend of the game and gone way too soon.
Of all the reaction videos of seen from USA blokes on Warne, this is the best. Well done mate.
I had the displeasure of facing Warne in late 2019. What he does out of the hand is phenomenal.
You’ve made a great video here mate. RIP Shane Keith Warne. The greatest of our time.
Warne: Genius.
Shane Warne was once in a century bowler. What made him so dangerous was his consistency and accuracy. He was just about impossible to play as the batsmen could never be sure where the ball would land on the pitch. He could often flight a ball that would change direction three different ways in flight and then turn violently from the pitch. Absolute genius. He put thousands of bums on seats every time he played. The GOAT. I have never seen a competitor like him who would contest every single ball. For all who follow cricket, Shane was simply drop tools, Warnie's bowling - compulsive viewing. RIP SKW. Thanks for the excitement, the entertainment, the stories and the memories.
It was a complete joy to watch Shane bowl. He had the perfect arm action for a leg spinner and it allowed him to put the ball where he wanted. Just great control.
When I got to the SCG museum section I shed a tear and the lady taking us round gave my hand a squeeze… what a legend
I went to the Bradman Museum in Bowral last year, and spent most of my time there looking at the Warne memorabilia. R.I.P. mate.
It is tough to control the leg spin delivery. This is the reason why you would find a very small number of legspinners in any level of the game
I’m from the same state as Warnie (Victoria) and when he passed the whole state when into mourning for a solid month. Very sad day for a true legend of the sport.
Most of the cricketing world was in mourning. He was so far ahead of anyone else like Lionel Messi and Jordan
I felt this one in a way that I very rarely do, even remember clearly where I was when the news broke (in a hotel room in Copenhagen). What a cricketer he was, and what a loss to all of us - there was so much more he had to give. Hope to come out one day for the Ashes, and pay my respects to Warnie then.
It's a cliché, but it's strange how geniuses like Warne die young. They rarely make old bones.
Brilliant cricketer. RIP Warnie
In 1995 I was attempting to backpack through southern China. I got on an overnight bus frome Gunahgzhou to Beihai. During the night the bus blew a tyre and I found myself sitting on the curbside while the driver and a friend changed the tyre with a rock and a basic lever. There were some Pakistani students on the bus and I remember their reaction when I told them (the only people on the bus who spoke English) that I was Australian. They immediately said: "We are very much admiring your Shane Warne." They also asked me: "Are you courting?" which was a question I couldn't answer for obvious cultural reasons. Also, I was at that moment without a girlfriend. As it happened I eventually met my future wife in China. My wife, after coming to Australia, got a job as a dealer at Crown Casino in Melbourne. One of the interesting aspects of that job has been her occaisonal interaction with famous people who she was not aware of before they turned up. These include Tiger Woods (who turned up with a huge entourage), a previous Aussie Prime Minister, Bob Hawke, who she found really charming, rock singer Jimmy Barnes who turned up with his whole family and was equally impressive and Shane Warne. Warnie gambled a lot and lost a lot but was really pleasant unlike some of the rich people she had to deal with in the Mahogany Room. She also told me that he was handsome and not fat (despite everyone else at work saying that he was).
Pure bunkum, but very well put together nonetheless 🤣
Warne was a master of deception and got into batsmens heads, creating doubt. He would set them up with lead up balls to get them confident then slip in the wicket ball. A master of strategy, he beat many mentally before they took the field. He was never afraid of being hit, and no game was unwinnable. Sadly passed before his time, a massive loss to the cricket world, his family and Australia.
Warnie is his nickname! His surname is Warne (pronounced Warn).
Truly a legend Sir Shane Warne❤
Best spin bowler ever. Sat next to his daughter Brooke at the MCG last night watching Collingwood play AFL, right near the Shane Warne stand. What a true blue Aussie he was 😢
Still can't believe he's gone. One of the most interesting cricketing personality on top of one of the greatest bowler.
the greatest cricketer ever imo. obvioulsy batsmen get more credit than bowlers do but if you look at impact on winning teams, no one was better than warne. Yes, Australia was the best team in the world during that entirety with world class players everywhere but warne was the man who stood up in the most iconic australian moments of that era. 1999 wc semi vs SA, It was warne who changed the game. 2005 Ashes, the biggest reason that series is considered to be the greatest series in cricket history, is because warne took 40 wickets and dragged australia back whenever the game was getting away from them. Latter, in the absence of glenn mcgrath as well.
countless other moments like that, the charisma, the talent, the moments.
No One comes close.
Warney is a total hero and an utter legend, one of the very top GOATs of cricket, he even got a hole in 1 on the 16th at f-ing augusta, the guy was simply magic, a classic aussie bloke.
Warnie was amazing. I still miss his deliveries. His contest with Sachin makes me feel nostalgic.
The most important part of spin bowling is learning how to land/bounce the ball in the spot you it. After you learn that, the other areas of spin bowling become useful. Mr Warne spent many, many hours as a teenager trying to do that.
I managed to get Shane Warne's autograph after a day's play in a Notts v Hampshire match at Trent Bridge many years ago. Warne played a few seasons for Hampshire. I saw him live at his best in the 2005 Trent Bridge Ashes test match. He made it difficult for England but the Poms won that match by a narrow margin.
Master Class by the Master
The greatest. There was a buzz around the ground when Warnie started warming up.
South African here. This man is a legend.
He was a legend. Artist. Born Leader. Period. Its Warne without E; with E was his nickname
RIP Warnie from Lancashire England. Accrington Cricket Club's greatest ever player, no doubt. Alongside some other memorable achievements in cricket too.
This wasn’t simply a Master Class Luke, it was the class from the “Master”. Before Warne showed up, cricket was all about fast bowlers, then Shane arrived and changed the game forever. Watching this gave me tingles.
As a lifelong cricket fan from Adelaide (where the tutorial video was shot), I really thoroughly enjoyed your video man. Warney’s last name is pronounced to rhyme with “born”. Keep up the great work mate. RIP The Sheik of Tweak - Shane Keith Warne
Warnie, greatest ever.
Hey man keep uploading. Love this video ❤.
Warney was is will be the greatest spinner of all time❤
The different balls Warne (and leggies) bowl: leg break, top spinner, flipper, wrong'uns/googlies etc, are all perfect examples of what in baseball is called tunnelling: They all look the same, all the way through to your walk back to the pavillion
he was so influential they have named a grandstand at the the MCG (Melbourne) after him in his honour.
RIP Warnie.
Best that ever lived.
With baseball, the ball moves through the air. With cricket, the ball moves through the air and off the pitch. Warne and his longtime coach Terry Jenner were magicians, both very sadly missed.
dude was a magician. an absolute magician. a once in a 100 year player.
Leg spin bowling always existed...one of two varieties of spin bowling...one spins one way...one spins the other..tech ically leg spin is more difficult. When Shane Warne came along he really revitalised interest in the art of leg spin. He dominated the game, helped make Australia a powerhouse. Shane had a knack of landing all variations of deliveries. He would draw players in and use his variation to get them out. Added to his cricket ability he gave a lot to the sport..and to charity...he coached and worked player development. Of course he worked in media...while commentating he knew what was happening and could predict outcomes in what prevailed.a wicked man gone too soon.♥️
You just have to remember the context.
As a batsman you're stood out on the wicket for 2, 3, 4 hours in the sun (hence the nose cream), with a couple of 6'5 blokes chucking it at you at 90+mph. Then every hour or so they bring this guy out and you're trying to watch what he's doing with his fingers, then you survive 30 min's of that and its back to the 90 mile an hour boys for another session. There's a reason it's called a Test....
Definitely. And being a slip fielder hours on end waiting for that ONE ball that will make you a hero catching a ball purely on instinct lol
Learned a lot,great vid
Ahhh many an endless summers afternoon id watch warnie play, and then practice my leggies in the nets or with my brother. I feel like good leg spinner is probably the rarest and most valuable front line bowler. Rest in peace Shane
We will never see anyone like this man on a cricket field again, not in any of our lifetimes anyway. Leg spin is the hardest art in cricket and its not even close, if someone explains to you how good warnie was, its watered down, he was better than anyone can explain! incredible bowler!
We used to chant at Shane Warne "We wish you were English". He was the best spin bowler. 👍🏻
Pure genious, this man rejuvinated the vanishing art of leg spin.
Yeah did. I used to throw a bit of leg spin before he came along. Players would almost look at you like you were just the water boy lol
In the worlds before Warne primal chaos reigned!
The nature of Warnie was... irrepressible!
🎶🎵Born from a KEG on a mountaintop...🎶🎵🤣👍🏏🇦🇺
"Cricket sought order, but the Flipper can only stump only when our Warnie has bowled."
I’ve bowled leg spin since I started playing cricket aged 14, I’m 32 now. Honestly he makes this looks so much easier than it really is. I still deliver some absolutely buffet bowling.
The best part of watching the master is the reaction of the batsmen. Either completely clueless about what just happened, or furious that they fell for the same trick yet again.
Shane Warne was capable of spinning the ball a huge amount , he was also very accurate !
By far the best leg spinner ever !
Said by an Englishman !
"I wish l had a ball" great preparation there Mr. However appreciation of the skill, very good.
Leg spin bowling is by far the hardest type of bowling to control consistently. There are a range of things that made Shane Warne different from other spin bowlers. There were only a rare few leg spinners that became test players compared to other types of bowling before his arrival. It is very difficult to bowl but as a batsman, it is very difficult to face a good leg spin bowler. Shane Warne changed the game for millions of cricket fans because he reintroduced leg spin to many who had never seen it or seen very little.
If you practice spinning a table tennis ball you will notice that it spins one way on the way up and the opposite way on the way down. This principle was exploited to great effect by Warne and was his most dangerous and unplayable set of traits. He spun the ball so vigorously and with such control that he would effectively drag the batsman away from the stumps, reaching for the ball because the top spin made it drop faster than expected and side spin made the drift towards the leg side as the ball approached the bounce.
We saw him bamboozle the best batsmen in the world for hours at a time while they were unable to score and unable to get themselves out. He also played on teams that were possibly the greatest teams of all time.
We have seen a resurgence in popularity of leg spin bowling since Warne played and most teams have at least one in their squad. It adds to the variety and entertainment for the viewers as he did with his infectious character and enthusiasm for the game.
Thank you for a great reaction, it's interesting how non cricket fans react to the best that ever was, hopefully better to come.
What i loved about Warne wasn’t just the turn, the accuracy, the flair etc it was the intelligence. My god. The guy was ALWAYS thinking about what the batter was trying to do, wanted to do, wanted not to do and he just used all that data to trap them. Like a hunter. Was so insane. I remember he bowled a slow bouncer at Peitersen once just to mess with his rhythm. Legend.
Luke, i love your channel. One of my favorite channels on RUclips. I would love to see you react to your own favorite soccer player's story from your own nation. Love from Norway
He's fans was loving and endearing, thus is why he was the best....
When it comes to Australian Sport, Warnie Transcended the sport. I’m a Football/Soccer Guy but when Warnie was at the Crease you’d be on the edge of your seat preparing for an Incoming Wicket.
It was magic to watch him bowl. Ut wasn't just the wickets. It was the sledging, the way he drew people in, spinning all different styles with no sign of it in the hand position to give it away.
Warne v Peterson made me fall in love with cricket. I will say there is no one like Warne anymore.
Warne was an all time spin genius.
Things to take note of: every ground the game is played on has different conditions that would effect how much the ball would spin and bounce. Warne probably developed a 10-12 variations of deliveries to make it nightmare to bat against. He was also very accurate in where he pitched the ball, pinning a batter down for long periods and could bowl a long time without a break. Legspin is pretty bad for the shoulder and wrist but Warne had a stocky build with fat fingers allowing his to spin the ball more than others. He loved trash talking his opponents and often would tell opposition that they were his bunny (aka bitch) to psych them out.
He is the GOAT
I used to play cricket for my school, (because I was the only one who could do leg spin) I learned how to because Shane Warne was my favourite player
The flipper is actually more difficult to bowl because your fingers, wrist and arm are trained to bowling overwrist deliveries. It literally goes against all muscle memory and your brain must force something different.
I'm blowed if I know how he bowled it. I could never get the hang of it. Only a few of recent times have mastered it: Warne, Trevor Hohns, Jim Higgs, Benaud...Qadir maybe? I think I saw Swepson bowl some and the commentators didn't pick them at all.
@@gettinhungrig8806 Like Beethoven on piano, Warnie could just do it for some reason.
He will never be forgotten.
The greatest cricketer ever. Bradman wasn't a team man, Warne was. Warne was the master of stealth. Many bats were clueless to his magic.
Sobers, Marshall and Gilly are almost in the same stratosphere
"You've gotta have an appreciation for what we're watching here"
Yes. We've been privileged to watch the two best spinners of all time. Murali's record will probably never be broken, but Shane was the entertainer. And I know which one I'd watch all over again.
Bowled, Warney
He is a legend rest in peace Shane Warne
Warnie had HUGE hands too, thus his total mastery of leg spin…
This is why bowling in cricket is far superior Vs... throwing in base ball = the bounce has soooo many variations
Then wait till they start finding the craps and the nice dirt patches 😂
You mentioned studying the bowler you are facing so you can pick the delivery…complicate that by teams using 4 to 6 (or more) bowlers in an innings. Every 6 deliveries the bowlers change, and the bowling end swaps!
the trick is to be able to release the ball in slightly different ways so the batter can't 'read' your hand action. Warnie was particularly good at this. The 'wrongun' is an example of this.
Nice to see Americans appreciate the best of cricket
Awesome loved it warne tge best spinner ever😊
Aussie legend!
Good job.. very respectful
God bless the goat a absolute fucking legend 💯👌🏽
No novice or beginner really feels like they can bowl the flipper, it's a really difficult delivery to implement, especially consistently. And it requires enough back spin to stay down. As Warne said, you need to work on the other deliveries first, namely your leg break. Leg spin is a discipline that takes a lot of practise and training, which is actually quite hard on the body. Take it from me, I know.
The other reason why the flipper takes real time and discipline is because you don't want to show it too often. Stuff one up and you missed an opportunity, and the batsman got a look at it. Warnie wasn't just an incredible bowler, he was a remarkable strategist with a great cricket brain with a ton of patience. It's often about setting the batsman up, playing the long game, especially one who can play spin. This includes mind games and trickery.
One of the Greatest ❤️
Shane was the best because of his Cricket brain and the size of his hands, he could torque the ball in the most deadliest way. Every legendary batsman of the modern era has fallen. Best Spin Bowler in the history of this Sport
Bowling in Cricket regardless of the style is just a piece of art. It's the most beautiful & unique part of the game with no proper equivalent in any other game.
Btw this is just what a Leg Spinner does, there are also Off Spinners. Then there are Seamers who could be Fast Bowlers or Medium Pacers, they Bowl Out Swings, In Swings, Reverse Swing (which isn't easy to explain but you can watch videos on that too like what's the science behind Reverse Swing), Bouncers, Yorkers, etc. There's just nothing like Cricket Bowling.
Strange no mention of his passing in this video. But one can barely realise the crazy amount of practice that went into the making of Shane Warne. He was just getting a good start as a commentator and he was very entertaining and very knowledgeable. So this is the area that we shall be missing him most.
Apart front the flipper, which you have to pick from the hand As a batsman it’s all in your eyes.. some can pick it out of the hand others can pick in the air.. the real genius of Shane Warne was is astonishing accurate and even if you could pick the spin it was how much it was going to spin because of his amazing wrist strength
Leg spin is a lot harder to bowl than off spin in my experience - Warne and Rashid Khan, who you reacted to before, are two bowlers with lots of variations of deliveries that they can bowl consistently but are hard to read coming out of the hand. Most spin bowlers don't have as much variation of different deliveries - they just vary the pace, the length of delivery (where it bounces) or the height of the ball in its flight but with the same type of spin on the ball. I second the request of another commenter for a reaction to swing bowling, and the best in the business at that is James 'Jimmy' Anderson
Yes indeed. There's just so much that can go wrong that doing it for any length of time at the highest level is incredible.
Spinning the ball with the variations like they do is hard enough, but that's just the basics. Spinning it like that and landing it where you want almost all the time seems ridiculous. One bad ball an over which lets the pressure off negates all the spin in the world.
Whenever I tried it, it always came out as a googly/wrong 'un. It turned more than my off spinners did, but you'd never know which county it was going to land in!
