Anyone have any advice on exercises/stretches in the field to prepare to bowl? When brought onto bowl I don't feel like it is physically possible to get through my action for the first 3/4 deliveries.

I like SLA's contrarian view that removes the romanticisation from leg spin. My season just began but I'm thinking about not bowling for the season and reworking my action for consistency>spin. I'm tiring of bowling trash chasing a Warne pipe dream.

15 overs a day on my own, added onto whatever I do at other net sessions 3 or 4 times a week.

What is the most overs I should bowl a day, given that I am practising every day, if I would like avoid having 3 shoulder reco's in my lifetime?

I normally bowl an over off a standing start to warm up before I come off my full run, when I'm practicising. Thanks for the advice.

Circa one month ago, when I wasn't bowling like a hack, my bowling off a standing start was extremely poor. I wouldn't get enough power behind the ball, but my full run up provided the energy and follow through required to put the ball in a good area. Now situation has reversed. I'm bowling...

Anyone have any thoughts on strategies for setting up batsmen for a quicker ball? Currently I just chuck it in whenever I feel like it, without any rhyme or rhythm.

Thanks, I wasn't aware an automatic feeder was a thing. I will look into it. Basically none. Probably about 40 minutes a week of real bowling, nothing else. This is nowhere enough for me to succeed, so I'm trying to add to my practice a little by utilising these solo drills. About an hour...

I want to put extra work into my batting, but often don't have someone around to have a net with. I've found a couple of solo drills, but I'd appreciate if anyone else could share any that they know of. These two videos cover similiar things: -Self fed top hand only drives -Self fed bottom...

At release, where do I want my front foot to be facing? Directly towards the stumps? Leg Slip?

I don't reckon you'd last 5 minutes in 27C heat Dave ;). I wouldn't say the backyards are big enough for real bowling practice here, and I'd say the average yard space is getting smaller by the day, at least where I live. But I do have 4 sets of open synthetic nets within a 15 minute cycle, so...

AB De Villiers has 12 short videos on this website where he gives assorted tips on batting. So far he has covered topics such as: Calming nerves Body language Using the backlift The late block Trigger movements Grip for 360 degree shots The cover drive The website is: http://www.cricketyard.com/

Yeah, I have no clue how people play this stuff.

Does everyone here use a tripod when recording their bowling? Does anyone know any cheap tripod replacements, or how to get a decent view of my bowling without one?

That's right. The single has to be completed by both runners for it to count.

I haven't heard the term. But this is what I assume. If you've seen that the bowler is getting outswing you want to be covering the outswing, rather than playing it like it's straight, leading to you edging it when it swings. You have to be playing the ball taking the outswing into account. You...

"Hunting as a pack" to me means that all 11 people are doing all they can to keep their pressure on the batsmen. Both bowlers are bowling good area's and being economical, the field are intense and aren't letting any runs through, eventually leading to wickets tumbling.

Nepotism.

I think it's slightly bigger and slightly heavier.
