Thread: IPL spinners graphic on wrist spinners. RTs appreciated!
Features Bishnoi, Hasaranga, Chahar, Chahal, Rashid, Kuldeep M Ashwin and Gopal. Googly splits vs LHBs & RHBs, lengths and much more.
Bishnoi's wide release point makes his googly more potent. It's skiddy & low.
2) RCB's Hasaranga has the lowest release height among spinners in IPL 2021. No wonder he gets his googly to hit the stumps more often than anyone in the circuit. He uses his googly a lot to RHBs.
3) While Punjab's Rahul Chahar can deliver back of the hand leg break and googly, his length control still leaves a lot to be desired. Also, he doesn't use his googly nearly as much as the rest.
Yorker success : Based on % of yorkers nailed when attempted. Dial is based on league average.
Slower ball effectiveness: Based on RPO, speed differential, deviation and judgement
Slower ball variety: Ability to bowl different slower balls.
Thread: Ellyse Perry and Mitchell Johnson exhibit one of the biggest bowling arm delay / lag in the game. See how far below the horizontal their arms are at front foot contact. This enables them to accelerate their arm faster than most, generating pace. But, how do they do it?
The key to this is creating a momentary pause in the movement of the bowling arm or creating a longer path. Perry as captured holds the gather position or hardly moves her bowling arm from the jump to just before front foot contact. This creates the lag in the bowling arm.
Mitchell Johnson employs a similar pause. He pauses his bowling hand right at the bottom of the downswing as captured here. The pause again like in Perry's case allows him to delay the bowling arm. Brett Lee later in his career employed this pause in his action too.
I’ll be posting notes on a few bowlers for each team in the #CWC22. Starting with NZ’s new ball pair, Lea Tahuhu and Jess Kerr. As noted by @nassercricket on air, Tahahu is more round arm whereas Kerr is almost beyond perpendicular. #NZvWI
🧵on how Chameera remodeled his action. @irbishi mentioned how his action has gotten stronger.

Right -Remodeled (now)
At front foot contact, front & back foot are cross aligned in his old action. But they are much more in line towards the batter. What changed?
Look at how his bowling arm separates after the gather / loading. In his old action, the bowling arm goes away from his body and then he pulls it back in the direction of mid-on.
But, it is much closer to the body and is pulled straight down in his new action. So, what?
Well, every action has an opposite reaction. As a reaction to the direction of inward pull of the bowling arm in his old action, the back foot goes further outward inducing a significant cross-alignment in his feet.
With a more compact gather, feet are well aligned in new action
