Here's How I Went from Mediocre Spinner to a Wicket Taking Wizard
This is a guest article from Max Andrews, Leg Spinner and Coach
Have you ever felt this way?
I'm a leg spinner who had good success in my first few seasons of club cricket. As I got older and started playing representative cricket I was not having much success at all. It came to a stage when I thought about giving up leg spin and bowling medium pace.
There was even a time when a thought about giving up cricket all together.
It's a rut I know many spinners face. But I got through it.

How to Play the Short Ball
This is a guest article from Gary Palmer, batting coach.

But, it's also counter productive just to go and practice against fast, short balls. You have to build a foundation of technique first. It's not about being brave or "having bottle", it's about eliminating technical errors to build confidence.
