  1. How will this stuff work against top-class international batsmen though?

  2. It wasn't until I did some research into Baseball that I realised there was at least 8 different variations of the knuckleball. If mastered in its entirety each ball is too unpredictable for a batsman to know for sure how to play. Variations range from holding the ball in different seam positions to how many 'knuckles' are placed on the seam. Some deliveries 'wobble' through the air, others dip sharply on a good length, others go straight on. Depending on which part of the ball lands on pitching – the ball can barely bounce, bounce like a tennis ball, move sharply into the batsman or move sharply away from the batsman on pitching.

  3. I can't tell if the ball actually moves that much. They just look like slower balls, some of them are *really slow. To get a good knuckleball effect the ball needs to do no more than 1 revolution between hand and bat (or bounce in cricket) and these balls are spinning quite a few times. Knuckleballers in baseball tend to only pitch knuckleballs. If you only bowled knuckleballs in cricket you'd be giving up 20+ runs an over.
