Knuckleball

While watching T20 games, I heard the commentators saying, "That is a beautiful Knuckle ball to deceive the batsman"

My coach showed me how to hold the ball in this weird way, where you put it on your knuckles instead of your fingers? it looks really funny when you do it but thats what makes it work!

sometimes when I am  practicing with my friends, I try to bowl the knuckleball and they get so confused cause the ball goes all slow and wobbly through the air.

This one time at cricket practice, my friend Tommy was batting and I bowled a perfect knuckleball - he swung his bat really hard but the ball went so slow he missed it completely! everyone were laughing and it was an awesome feeling for me but at the same time, it a bit embarrassing for Tommy too.

My dad says that theres these really good cricket players like bhuvi (thats what we call bhuvneshwar kumar) who are super good at bowling knuckleballs. they use it to trick batters in really important games!

The best part about learning the knuckleball is that nobody can tell your gonna bowl it? cause you run up and throw it just like normal, but then SURPRISE - the ball goes all slow and floaty!

Me and my sister was practicing in our backyard yesterday, and she kept saying "bowl it again, bowl it again!" cause she thought it looked so cool when the ball moved weird in the air.

Our coach teached us that the knuckleball is really good for T20 cricket (thats the super fast exciting kind). he says its like having a secret weapon that can make even the best batters look silly!

I tried to teach my friend billy how to bowl the knuckleball but he kept dropping the ball cause its hard to hold it right. you gotta put your thumb under the ball and everything has to be just perfect!

The knuckle ball will become more effective in the T20 cricket when the batsman tried to hit more runs against the bowler or when he tries to play big shots. Only at that time, the batsman could be deceived by the pace

Some days I pretend I am Jofra archer (he's this amazing bowler) and mix up my fast balls with sneaky knuckleballs. my friends never know what's coming next!

Practicing the knuckleball is kinda hard though. sometimes the ball goes completely wrong and bounces before it gets to the batter! but my coach says, that's okay because even the best players had to practice lots.

The coolest thing about bowling knuckleballs is watching the ball float through the air like its got tiny wings or something. its almost like the ball forgets its supposed to go fast!

I think maybe one day I'll be famous for bowling knuckleballs in cricket. my coach says I just need to practice every day and be patient, but it's hard when you just wanna be good at it right now!

 

When me and my friends play cricket at lunch time, they always want me to bowl knuckleballs cause its so fun to watch. even when they know its coming, they still cant hit it proper!
