Laaloo Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Mushtaq Ahmed is one of my favorites , I can also imitate Wasim Akram (al though Im right handed :P). I bet no one can copy Paul Adams I tried to copy him, believe me I tried. Just couldnt do it. Link to comment
flamy Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 I mimed Paul Adams right-handed. But the balls were always pitchin too short. I tried brett lee yesterday. I do not get any thrust at all. The ball is slower than when I bowl spin. Also, I can't do malinga or shaun tait without chucking. I need to trains myself to SLING! Link to comment
Sachinism Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Malinga is the hardest, I end up bowling the ball to square leg haha (left arm bowler) Link to comment
Kartikey Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I used to swing the ball 2-3 years ago, didnt really follow anyone's action. Even though i swung the ball, i was really really erratic. And now because Ive hardly played in the last 2 years, Ive lost my swing and I'm nothing. :((:(( I kinda feel like I'm Irfan Pathan. Link to comment
Kartikey Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I've tried and copied Brett Lee, although I do seem to spray the ball down leg quite a lot. Link to comment
f.b.m Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I can imitate Malinga although I can only bowl full swinging deliveries with that action. Link to comment
Kartikey Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I tried bowling like Malinga in the nets, but it hit the top of the bar. Link to comment
Shane Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Myself, a gritty batsman, a safe slipper, a *****y bowler i really miss playing cricket Link to comment
SachDan Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Haven't played 'serious' cricket for the last 3-4 years...was more at ease with a bat in hand..always tried to copy 'God' when at the crease. bowling style, had an unusual liking for Rawl Lewis of WI,that leg spinner who more often than not used to bowl around the wicket in ODI's...no wonder my bowling figures were similar to that of his :(( Link to comment

SachDan Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 The Black Warne? :omg: :hysterical: This Rawl Lewis holds one of the worst bowling average in test cricket! Link to comment
Texy Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 i had action last night ;) just with my brian lara in'tl cricket 2007 :( Link to comment
h4te Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Zak's action FTW! Have been using it for a couple of years + some weird 3 finger grip. I get ridiculous movement off the pitch with decent pace and accuracy. Batting wise, i don't want to talk about it. Let's just say, i bat #13 in a team of 11.................. i had action last night ;) where you the pitcher or the catcher? loll no i play on concrete so it gets cut and opens up :giggle: i hate tape ball for this reason (esp on concrete). i used to play with a team that did this...and the tape would rip after each over. annoying....+ swings too much.
