Swing Bowling help - Left handed bowler.
Hi there,
I'm a left handed bowler, Bowling Over the wicket and bowl between 95-105kmph,
The question is how do I make the ball swing in (mainly) or swing out.
I have read a number of instructions but I jut don't seem to understand,
It's said that to bowl an in-swinger I must position the ball on the right side of the right hand batter, towards leg slip.
The problem is that being a left hander, and bowling over the wicket, If I was to place/aim the ball at the leg side of the batter the ball would only swing even further to the batters leg side which would either make the ball a wide or be easily hit for runs.
So is there another method to bowl in-swing?
Currently, This is how I bowl :
When I finally get the ball to swing :
Its hard for me to bowl out side the line of off stump and make the ball come back towards the stumps... I do a bowl like that once every 1 or 2 games (not very often ), So for the past year I've just been using my pace and bowling at the stumps.
But before that, when I used to bowl around the wicket to right handers I was able to make the ball move into the right handers off stump and get more amount of wickets....
So how do I make the ball swing in to the right hander in an easier way?
Is there a way I can make it more effective than just having to bowl around the wicket?
Thanks in advance
(Btw, I'm kid so I might be doing some things wrong with my bowling methods haha)
