Well don't know much about my speed but would love to call it Medium Fast. Every ball I ball becomes an in swinger, no matter how flat the pitch is.(A bit like what Nuwan Kulasekara does for Sri Lanka) I can also bowl leg and off cutter and slow balls to chip in between. The things I can't do is bowl an out swinger or a bouncer. I tried so hard to get that out swing but it just doesn't; seem to work.

I was a natural middle order batsman and a Right Arm Medium pace bowler (I've no idea about the speed of my deliveries) The sad thing was that, my captain who was really dumb forced me to play a slogger role giving me last 2-3 overs (at times last 2-4 balls). And the most unusual part, he wanted me to hit a 6 of every ball I faced during the last stage of the innings. :eek:

Batting

Right hand Batsman,
Aggressive style,
Bat used- Any size 6 bat, my height is 6 ft 1, but i prefer shorter bat as I find it more comfortable for facing short balls and for quick movements,
Favourite shot- leg glance.
Batting position- number 5.
HS- 73 in 35 over games and 96 in 3 day matches.
I have always been an aggressive batsman, I take a couple of overs to get my eye in and then just start playing my shots.


Bowling

Bowling style - Right arm medium
Bowling action - Very similar to Paul Collingwood,

As a bowler i want to have a lot of variety in my bowling with good control,
I want to combine conventional variations of a medium pace bowler with a regular offspin and legspin delivery, and for that I will need the keeper standing up,so I just want to bowl between 115 to 125 kmph and don't care if i can bowl quicker or not as my main aim is to trouble the batsmen by my variations.
Right now I can bowl a yorker, bouncer, offcutter and an inswinger,
I want to learn a leg cutter,an outswinger and a normal off spin and leg spin delivery with flight(between 80- 90kmph) even if it is with a slight change in action. I know it will take a lot of time and hardwork but I will try my best to master all the deliveries that I have mentioned.

I would like some advice from other users on what they feel about my approach towards my bowling and I also want to know if its ok if i use a size 6 bat.

Batting
Bat: WoodWorm GlowWorm Fizz which is fraying at the top with the string hanging out which I have to poke back in everytime I go in to bat. I've had it for too long... :facepalm
Batting Position: Lower middle Order
Batting Style: I'd like to think myself as Defensive but exquisite. If I must say, my shot follow-through is a little Carribean-ish. :D
Stance: Upright, slightly hunched and a constant backlift...
Favorite Shot: The Classic Cover drive.

Bowling
Bowling Type: Right Arm Medium and a bit of leg break here and there.
Bowling Deliveries: I can do the yorker as I can only really pitch the ball full but my in-swinger is pretty decent. I can't bowl a bouncer to save my life... I can do a crappy attempt at a googly and that's about it!
Bowling Action: I try my best to resemble the Guldozer :P, looking through my bent left arm down the wicket, front on.
Fastest Delivery: 70 KM per Hour
Average Delivery: 63 KM per Hour

Fielding

Fielding Position: Slip - I like testing my agility to its boundaries... Although I always find my elbows are sore after an outing.
