Big lesson why you don't fall away -- you don't spin it or you don't swing it or you don't bowl quick. Get that torso over your front leg.... that's what this kid needs to work on.
That would be the vertical line perpendicular to the ground. If you drew a line from below the knee to the knee straight to the sky -- you want your shoulders and torso up towards that line.
Pretty ugly action, but it's pretty sound. Pretty straight back leg -- could be bent a bit more. The back leg also starts different than most people -- but that's ok.
He could bring his torso over and past the back leg as he begins. i.e. if you draw a straight line vertically on the back knee...
NO NO NO.... not braced... braced up! You land with a bent strong left knee. And you then go over it. A good way to think of it is being in a horse riding position or horse kung fu stance. You face the leg side.... when you finish you face the off side. You can't maintain a stiff front knee if...
Ok -- co-ordination... timing etc.
The first delivery was ok (iffy). The second one really showed problems with timing.
When you land and start to go over your front foot -- that is when your arms should be propelling the ball forward. Note well -- when you start to go over your front foot. I...
Right on Liz. Quoted the wrong passage.
My thought though is simply -- don't go into the gym and bulk up and think that will make you bowl faster. How many fast bowlers come out of an off-season in the biggest shape of their lives and don't bowl faster. Speaking of which -- how many fast...
Well people shouldn't be confused about physical strength, muscle mass being related to spin and speed. In fact there is little relationship between arm strength, bicep strength, and torso strength to bowling speed. Actually flexibility is more related to bowling speed and large muscle mass...
pretty much the entire bottom row. Look at that back hip -- almost a straight line from left leg to the knee up to the right hip. Now that's getting up and through the delivery stride!
It's actually amazing seeing that series of images -- his right hip so attuned to the position of that front...
two things. Lazy back leg. Get the right hip over the left leg in your follow through. When you bowl well -- it's very close to being in line.
And you have a HUGE lean back as you bring your front hip forward. As they say -- WTF? It's like you're taking lessons from Steven Smith. If anything...
I hear lots of complaints about this. Even young guys who wonder where their leg drive is? Perhaps concentrating on one aspect of the final position and trying to get to that position -- could be helpful.
One position I think of is getting that right hip almost over the left leg. Problem is --...
Make Changes when you are young:
You could get better.
It is universally known in education that ability to learn declines with age.
3000 reps you need to ingrain new dynamics as an adult is reduced in youth.
Changes made in youth results in thousands of more deliveries of experience than if you...
Yes. Well figured out. His leg follow-through is definitely too close to the front knee, or in your words -- he doesn't fan out the back leg as much as you want. Indicates inefficiencies.
I agree with what you have said about delaying the action. It is a necessary thing to learn. But the...
Very Anil Kumble. I like it a lot. He's got the shape right. In these clips anyway.
Next step is using his entire body..... not just the arm. In higher performing leagues he needs to learn work ethic.
What I mean by work ethic is in two methods: in his action, and in his psychology...
