I've not got through them all yet, I know Macca has and I think he says that 'Tricking the batsman' is the better of them.

Just been posting some stuff on Grimmett over at Youtube. I mentioned the fact that Grimmett was instrumental in taking the Flipper click delivery from the under arm lob bowlers and started to look at being used over-arm and the rest is history. Then looking around at Lob Bowling links came across this www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/5612.php |

I've just been reading today's copy of The Times and there is an extract from Gideon Haighs new book On Warne, for those of us that can't get enough it looks like a beautifully in depth analysis of his career, personality and his methods. I've always though Flawed Genius was the best book about Warnie but I think this new one may just be going to the top of the list.
