Re: Bowling Action

Storm - what do your reckon to this move to here. I've just looked at the thread here mate and you're going mental like me - You're talking to yourself!!!! I'm kind of thinking what's the point? I'm on line now at Midnight and there was always a few blokes on line that would chip in with a comment - night after night now and it seems there's no-one on here that wants to comment?

Re: Bowling Action

I comment so that it tells everyone im still going, and also i do it just for myself so that i dont give up, it's true that the sites less active these days and people are drifting away from it tho.
 
Re: Bowling Action

Update, seeing great results from working out already, muscels are toned now i just wanna get them stronger and bigger, play indoor cricket bowling action seems to be fine.

Good to hear. I need to get in the gym myself, but don't quite have your drive. What sort of stuff are you doing?
 
Re: Bowling Action

well i usually favor the pectorial machine because i can lift the most on that like 80KG whereas the others i lift around 40-50KG, but im starting to change so that im working my legs and core more ,rather than my upper body because my upper body is already quite big compared to the lower.
Im also going to start doing more speed running on the treadmills and on things on bikes so i can get quicker. Gym is pretty good because i only leave when its my lesson or college hours have finished, saying this i only get to workout monday for the whole day and the a 1 hour session on thurs which sucks, still better than nothing.

Ohh and i need to get more protein and decents foods in me, my diet has gone crappy again so i need to change it so i can get the energy and proteins to heal after a good workout.
 
Re: Bowling Action

Cant comment on your action as the youtube vids arent working for me but reading your comments seems like your a bit down that your lacking pace, my action was rooted but still took 20 wicksets from 9 games in uner 14s, only alllowed 4 overs a game so was pretty good, was bowling pretty quick, opened the bowling in the 1s for my club, played rep cricket asa all rounder, but as i got older, bowled more and more overs my back started giving way and now , as an 18 year old, ill never bowl anything more then spin, luckily i worked on my batting and can use that alone, but please make sure your action is perfect before doing anything, its my goal as a coach now to make sure that nomore tens break down the way i did

good luck hopefully we hear your name running around for hampshire someday

Re: Bowling Action

cheers mas, its the worst thing ever, because i know if i was bowling i could get these batsmen out

ive taken bowling courses so i can detect early what a bowlers doing to make him/her in pain, getting to em when there around 15 which is good
 
Re: Bowling Action

Its the way forward and slowly it's starting to become the norm. I know from experience that in the UK that is has been a hot topic and there is a lot of advice out there, if you want it.

The sad thing is that people ignore it and carry on coaching the way they were taught to bowl 20/30 years ago.
