Re: Be The Umpire Indeed, if the bails were taken off at the non strikers end, then the non striker is certainly out - no question.

Re: Be The Umpire Batsmen were both in the crease and the bails were taken off at that end, neither of them are out.

Re: Harder to bowl left handed then right ?? Very hard to get that delivery on the off rather than leg stump though.

Re: Harder to bowl left handed then right ?? I think it is harder to be a left handed bowler than a right handed bowler because you have to perpetually angle the ball across the right hander rather than more naturally bowling it in a straight line.

Re: Favourite Fielding Position I like going slip to spinners and probably mid wicket to pacers.

Re: Rhythm Perhaps not rhythm, but it would likely help with pace and accuracy*. *Assuming that you can turn the new load up into a natural motion in your action rather than it having to be forced everytime.

Re: Fast bowling fitness I can't do chin ups without a slight brisk walk toward the bar, after which I can do about 3 - is the walk up okay or should I really try to do it from a static position. After I do some chin ups, I usually get some burning in the latissmus dorsi for about a week or two...

Re: Manee's Season 2008 U16 Fixture I had an U16 game on Friday, 24 overs per side. We put 161 past the opponents and I opened the bowling to begin their reply. I bowled with okay pace (still nowhere near what I want to be, but I assume that only physical training in the winter will get me...

Re: Hip strain Probably simply stretched some muscles that you haven't used before but I'm sure Liz will be able to shed(sp?) more light on things.

Re: Several Fast Bowling Questions Oh. I'm not sure then. Youtube may have improved their format, it did take a lot longer than usual to upload.

Re: Several Fast Bowling Questions No, same camera. It is only a walk through pace, which is why I thought it would be.

Re: Young boy bowling short Best not overload an 11 year old with too much technique though - best to help him sculpt out the natural lengths with his natural action.

Re: Several Fast Bowling Questions Got two new videos up on youtube. Two different views attempting to use a more biomechanically efficient load up whilst keeping my back leg on the floor for a better hip drive. Bit of classic British comedy in there too if you look hard enough ;) Clip 1 Clip...

Re: Carry Yes, whereas a Sreesanth will occasionally clock as high as Flintoff but bowls a 'light ball' regardless.

Re: Carry Hits the bat seemingly 'too hard' for the pace the ball is delivered at. Usually applicable to strong, sharp medium pace bowlers.

Re: Carry Height is a contributing factor, but I believe that there is more to it than that. Malcolm Marshall was just 5ft 10 (if I recall correctly) and he had the keeper miles back.

Re: Mid-way actions?? Interesting article - thanks for the link.

Re: Young boy bowling short There is no easy way for an 11 year old to bowl full so just emphasise the effort that the bowler must do to power the ball forward rather than into the pitch. It is all about helping him realise how to bowl full and what it feels like rather than emphasising that...

Re: whats the bench press of cricketers? Not necessarily, bowling 160kph does require a lot of upper body strength.

Carry Hi, What do you think causes carry in fast bowlers. It evidently does not bare a direct correlation to pace as Glenn Mcgrath could get the ball to hit the gloves at chest height whereas Luke Wright is barely getting it to go through to the keeper, although timing about the same on the...
