How to get more pace

How to get more pace

hi, I am 15 years old & I bowl fast-medium.. I am able to get outswing & inswing with the new ball, and I can even get reverse sometimes with the new ball... My run-up is 17 steps with medium strides... However I still lack the pace needed to beat the batsmen... I've tried everything like bending my back or jumping higher I've even tried running harder but that just spoils
my rhythm & I get tired quickly.... Is there anyway that I can bowl faster without spoiling my rhythm & getting tired...

Any kind of help appreciated Thanks.

Hi DJ Rain!

Have a look at the Fitness and Nutrition Forum, particularly the 'Bowling Faster' thread. You may find some kindred spirits there

David and I are [almost] always on hand to answer any of your questions.

Hopefully, see you there

And whilst you are in this part of the forum, post a video of your action for biomechanical scrutiny.

thanks Liz I checked the fitness & nutrition zone it has some stuff that can help
me with my bowling & batting.. but i think its nothing physical it just that
when I deliver the ball it just dosent seem to reach the batsmen fast enough
to really trouble him with the swing that i get.

Try pulling your front arm down faster?

Locking your front leg at the knee is apparently an effective way of getting through your action quick, with more thrust.

Pretty sure Brett Lee uses this technique...

some of my friends & my coach say that I have a action similar to brett lee
so if it works for him then i'll have a go

Hi sravanthi - welcome to the board.

You may want to have a read through of this thread, as manee is also an aspiring left arm fast bowler: http://www.simplycricket.net/several-fast-bowling-questions-t277.0.html

As for reducing no balls, well, the first thing would be to move yourself back on the crease, try starting your run up a step or two further back.
