Good upload with Terry Jenner there, kind of feel it went in one ear and out of the other with the call for Warne to take up the role of mentor to Steve Smith. The sense we get over on this side of the pond is that Steve Smith is all washed up with regards wrist spinning and they only see him as a part timer and his main asset is his batting?

Possibly even just his fielding!

Phenomemal! What a bloke! You linked him your vids yet. I love the way he comes at it in his own unique way and adds to all the stuff that's already been said. I love his bowling style and I love his enthusiasm. Let's hope that it's the start of something quite substantial that continues with - a replacement for Jenner maybe - lets hope we see him over here doing stuff?

Time for me to get another vid of Sean doing his stuff. The one I've got is way out of date now, since he has taken on board some of the coaching tips from the club coaches.
What a great bloke MacGilla is! It's fantastic that he is putting something back into cricket at the grass roots level and I very much appreciate his efforts in this venture. (I'll post that on his channel when I get that video of Sean too.)
Cheers, Graeme

Cheers, Graeme Graeme, you should try and get it done ASAP with Stuart, because he's bound to get to the point where everyone who bowls a bit of wrist spin will be chasing him for comments and feedback. I'd get in there soon mate, he's such a good bloke. For years on bigcricket we were looking for something like this to happen and now it's happening! I'm just gob smacked that he takes the time out to do it and takes the time to reply to you if you contact him. It'll be interesting to see where he goes with it all, I'd like to think that in time he could be the next Terry Jenner and maybe and that perhaps he'd do like Jenner did and travel round the world doing demo's and helping kids and pros alike. We'll have to see how it all develops.

Yep, I plan on doing it this weekend if I can borrow a decent camera. I've got a GoPro, but it has such a wide angle of view that it's hard to use for this sort of thing. I'll use it if I need to though. I agree with you 100% on the hope that Stuie will stick with it and help revive wrist spin at the elite level. Nothing more engrossing than watching a Battle Royale between a great spinner and a great batsman in the test arena. I really hope he will run coaching clinics throughout Australia for the young spinners around. There is literally no such place to take my son in Perth. (I also hope he never takes those clinics to the UK - can't have you guys taking the Ashes home on the back of one of our greats ... ) Cheers, Graeme

This is some bowling spell, the power his action generates is wondrous to watch, that second wicket is just mind blowing. I've had to watch it about 20 times its so amazing.

Yeah nice post, at least you've got the potential over the coming years to work on your own action and get it honed to do similar things yourself. How did your season go last year, and what you going to working on in the nets this winter?

Yeah was watching this the other day, you can actually hear an audible flick/clicking sound sometimes when Warnie rips the ball.

Towards the end of this video at about 20 mins in, there is a short side by side comparison of Macgill and Warne's actions, Macgill's front arm goes out to the side and back into his body, and Warne's points forward and and pulls into his body, the back leg is also different to Warne's, Macgill lift's his knee right up and forward whereas Warne's kind of goes to the side and kicks out. They both look pretty much the same at release point though.

Another great clip. its amazing how they both make it look so easy. Ii wonder how long it took Macgill to get to this level, everyone knows about Shanes history but i've never heard about Stu's rise to the top. just wondered whether he spent his whole childhood leg spinning or it came to him later as he grew up?

macgill came from a legspin/cricket family. Taught by his father ( his dad had the grimmett books and his grandfather knew and played against grimmett) and bowled both legspin and seam until about age ten then decided to concentrate on legspin.
So he was an early starter. He always had an outstanding strike rate from junior through to test level.

Yeah very good video especially as Funk says, they analyse the different bowling styles and there's some slow-mo of their releases which is interesting to see. I think the good observation is that when they're talking about the way they spin the ball, they talk about the ring finger and getting the ball to spin sideways, but the commentator (Wicket keep bloke... Tubby?) Can't remember his name right now, but makes the point that integral to the spin is the overall action, not just the spin. He says about the fact that Warne spins the ball with more over-spin than Macgill, and talks about how Warnes leg that comes more round his pivot leg, whereas Macgill's leg comes through more, do you think there's some correlation?
