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 !

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

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.
@woopimagpie3 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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).

Sadly passed before his time, a massive loss to the cricket world, his family and Australia.

Latter, in the absence of glenn mcgrath as well. countless other moments like that, the charisma, the talent, the moments. No One comes close.

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.

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.♥️

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.

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.

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!

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.

good on ya mate top observations nice appreciation
@ianmontgomery75343 ай бұрын
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.

"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

Fair play to you for looking into this wonderful game. If you’re ever thinking of coming to England in the summer time let me know. I’d watch a game with you and talk you through it

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.

This is why bowling in cricket is far superior Vs... throwing in base ball = the bounce has soooo many variations

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.

With most cricket deliveries, there is usually not enough time for a batsman (I'll use male gender throughout, because I'm male, but obviously the same applies in women's cricket) to identify the delivery, choose a shot and execute the shot, after the ball has been released, even with spin, so most of the time, a batsman needs to have commenced his shot before the ball is released. He definitely doesn't have enough time after the ball has bounced. This then limits what shots he can play when he actually identifies what the delivery is, if he ever does. Different shots require different footwork, body positions and bat swings. If the batsman realises the type of shot he has commenced is not suitable for the incoming delivery, he can try to change his shot to a different, more suitable type or if that's not possible, either put up a defence, or if he thinks it's safe to do so, let the ball go through to the keeper without playing a shot. The bowler, on the other hand, has time to modify the delivery he is bowling when he sees what the batsman is starting to do, so a bowler can alter the speed, line, length, flight of the ball, spin, cut or swing, based on what shot he thinks the batsman is trying to play, e.g., with a pace bowler, if he sees the batsman coming forward to drive the ball on the bounce or on the full, he can bang the ball in short so the ball hits the pitch (ground) further from the batsman and bounces up fast at his face - the 'bouncer' - very much fun to bowl. Similarly, a spinner can do the same. If they see the batsman coming forward to play the ball on the full, before it can bounce and spin, they can bowl wide of the batsman and spin it back around him to the keeper, who can then stump the batsman if he is out of his crease, or the bowler can bowl the ball in faster, shorter and flatter at the batsman's feet before he was expecting to have to hit the ball, so he has to rush his shot and play a hastily conceived shot, which may result in an edge, that goes to a fieldsman for a catch, if he hits it all. Again, he could be bowled or stumped if he misses. Quite often, spinners are not trying to prevent the batsman from hitting the ball, they are trying to force or entice the batsman to play a certain type of shot, and they place a fieldsman where that shot is expected to go. Conversely, they are trying to get the batsman to play a certain type of shot or defence, but because the ball can spin a little or a lot, the batsman doesn't really know exactly where the ball is going to go, so they may play their shot in the wrong line and get an edge, which then goes to a fieldsman for a catch. Shane Warne (the 'e' is silent), was so dangerous because he was able to spin the ball a ridiculous amount, so the batsman always had a huge amount of doubt about how much the ball was going to spin and didn't know which line to play. He was also able to disguise what type pf spin he was bowling, so the batsmen often made the wrong assessment on how the ball was going to spin. Shane also started out his cricket career as a batsman, so he understood batting and batsmen much better than many other bowlers. I think the real reason Shane Warne was so popular in Australia, apart from being an exceptional bowler who did incredible things with the ball, was that he was both a larrikin, irreverent and very much not politically correct, so he was a bit of a rebel. He was a big drinker and smoker, often overweight and unfit, but still managed to do incredible things in the game of cricket, so he often got away with 'murder' (figuratively, not literally). He was a 'lad' - a loveable 'rogue'. He was often cocky, opinionated and arrogant in public, but he delivered results, so everyone forgave the usual expectation that Australian sporting heroes should be humble, grateful and polite. His habits, however, probably explain why he died suddenly of a heart attack in his mid-fifties. He will always be remembered for how much he could dominate the game when he was playing well. He was unpredictable and could single-handedly destroy an opposition team when he was on fire. He could be like a force of nature. That's why he is considered a legend in Australia. And that white stuff on his face is zinc cream. It is a thick type of sunscreen that has 100% UV block-out protection. Growing up in Australia, if you are going to spend a lot of time outdoors, you learn to appreciate zinc cream and accept looking like a clown, especially if you don't want your lips and nose to be a mass of blisters and sores from sunburn now, or skin cancer later in life. Cricket players spend a lot of time in the sun, playing at Club, State, National and now Professional Team levels all summer, and it's always summer somewhere. A test match lasts for up to five days, all day, while the sunlight lasts. For approximately half of that time, your team is bowling. Bowlers can't wear hats when they're bowling and when they're not bowling they're standing in the field and may be facing into the sun. Spin bowlers bowl more overs in a test match than pace bowlers: (a) because it's less tiring than pace bowling, so they can maintain quality for longer without becoming fatigued; (b) spin bowlers can get through their overs faster because their run-ups are shorter and the fielders are generally placed closed to the batsman, so it takes less time for the fielders to change their positions on the field when they swap ends at the end of each over. There is a minimum number of overs that must be bowled in each day, and pace bowlers take too long to get through them.

Warne was effective and feared because he was not just technically brilliant, he also psychologically tricked and beguiled the batsman.

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.
