Front Foot Position
Hi,
Right when i bowl normally i know i bowl too much over my front foot like its closing my action (so like hoggard does). I know in Ponts book he say's this is wrong and he beleives that Hoggard could have been 4 or 5 mph quicker had he sorted it out..... but i think this could be why i get little niggles in my groin and hip on my left foot because i put so much weight on it in an uncomfortable position..... Also my front foot points towards 3/4/5 slip when i bowl and i don't think this does me ankle any favours.... so recently i tried to think more like Nel and Morkel by throwing my front foot out... this has got my front foot straight and alot more chest-on but i've dropped abit of pace but i've gained accuracy and bounce because its forced me bowl abit taller.....
Is it right what i have done?
Why has the pace dropped?
Is it the dodgy front leg/foot positioning from before thats gave me the little niggles?
