General Advice On Bowling
In my article on Lowling in this series, I have constantly referred to Basic Principles. I cannot stress them too much. If you observe the basic principles and practise hard and often, you will meet with Д fair mensure of success-providing you have the right tem- perament.
It has been said that great bowlers are born and not made. Clarrie Grimmett, the famous Australian leg spin bowler, was in his late thirties before he started learning the mysterios of spin. By hard work, thought, and constant practice, he reached the heights. -
