I don't think he should change his bowling action because if he has spent so long developing it, it is probably more complex than the individual factors, so changing one factor might not affect it in the way that you expect it to. Also, there are many good bowlers who have very different bowling...

Did you set the videos to private?

What I remember somewhere is that do not mess with a kid's bowling action unless there is a specific problem which has a specific solution.

How's your bowling going in matches? Can you bowl fairly accurately with turn? Your action looks pretty good.

I think his body weight direction is ok because in his run up he is going towards his target. It is only after his pivot that he moves towards gully, right? After you pivot as much as possible you can't really continue down the pitch because you will be facing towards gully.

release it a bit later?

Hi guys So, when we are practising for accuracy, is it better to aim at a bigger target, say, 50cm by 50cm or a smaller target, for example, 10 by 10 cm. Because the problem is, if I am aiming at a small target and not hitting it 90 percent of the time, wouldn't I be practicing errors, and...

I also use my middle finger to bowl leg-spin

I suggest you experiment, because that way you will not need to focus too much on the technical side of things, because that will eventually bog you down. Also, even if someone describes it very well, it might not necessarily mean that you will be able to bowl it. But, if you are just looking...

I suggest that you get the feeling of the good balls, and try to keep bowling them in practice.

Why do you think that bowlers should focus on a natural rhythm? To feel familiar with the situation? Because I read somewhere that when we feel like we are in an unfamiliar situation we tend to use more of our conscious brain, which is bad for bowling in games.

I am a legspinner but I started spinning the ball by bowling cutters, my grip was that of a normal fast bowler but I turned the wrist outward so much that my index and middle finger were pointing right out to my right. I have changed my grip into the normal legbreak grip but I still spin the...

I have realised that whenever I try to visualise my bowling action, that is, what I'm doing, it never works, but when I visualise the ball I am bowling, I can bowl it where I want to. Is it necessary to visualise my bowling action? Also, I can visualise the ball from different angles, like side...

Here is an interesting site about developing consistency in sports, please read and say what you think about it http://www.learningideas.me.uk/schemas/index.html

I don't really know how I really spin the ball, I should video myself or something soon. I do know that the ball has perfect seam when I grip it seam aligned with my middle finger though, because I started spinning the ball fingers together, like a pace bowler on the seam, with the wrist cocked...

Just wondering, is it necessary to have perfect seam when bowling leg spin? I hold the ball cross seam but it is still scrambled, when I align the seam with my middle finger it comes out right. Also, yesterday practicing I was very tired, so I bowled slower than normal, but I got my line and...

What do you guys think of Stuart Macgill's action? I think I bowl a bit like him, but my back foot's not side on, as he is.

I think some things will work for some people and not for others, because everyone's different. It will probably be useful to some people but it might not be for others.

Just wondering, once you are good at bowling, are you automatically able to visualise yourself bowling? Or does it take practice?

Thanks, Dave. My coach is not a spin bowler.
