You need to find out the circumference of the ball (= 2pi*radius) and
adjust your expression accordingly.
Example for a sphere with a radius of 2:

Circumference: (2*3.141)*2 = 12.564

Expression would be:

Editing expression on: SPHERE1.kine.global.rotx

Valid expression : (SPHERE1.kine.global.posz / 12.564) * 360

Hope that helps...
