Day 1 : First indoor net off the season was swinging the ball well and got over 5 wickets but still need to rectify the runnup/wrong foot problem and when i got home my back was aching hopefully as i get stronger ill gain more pace i was bowling around 68 today but i still think i can bowl alot quicker

Day 2 - Went to the gym for 2 hours atm im not doing any leg weights becuase they realy hurt my legs the next day is ok to just run on the treadmill for 20 minutes or am i going to need to do some leg weights ?
 
Re: Louis Left arm bowling blog ! :)

Good to see you've started a blog Louis.

I'm no expert but I don't think leg weights are necessary. You can build up muscles in your legs in a number of different ways (using stairs, running up-hill etc).
 
Re: Louis Left arm bowling blog ! :)

Yes im going on the cycling machine alot any ways in which you can make your ankles stronger ?
 
Re: Louis Left arm bowling blog ! :)

Today had another indoor net sesion bowled well but the ball doesnt bounce realistacly inside i was bowling good bounces which were just turning into long hops which got punished which was a bit annoying as couldint get the batsmen into two minds weather to play front foot or backfoot also one batsmen whom ive played with since i was little and have had hundreds of net sesions with is playing for a different team in are league this year so he can pick me realy well and was punishing me today gave him some problems with the new slower ball ive developed but what should i do seeing as hes an opening batsmen and im an opening bowler im more then likely going to have to bowl to him and hell be able to play me with some ease any ideas ?
 
Re: Louis Left arm bowling blog ! :)

Trust yourself to land the ball in the right areas and get some movement IMO.

My mate and I have been down the nets hundreds of times but if I have a ball that will swing and put it in dangerous positions he still struggles.

Does he have any weaknesses in his batting?
i.e - technique

attack his weaknesses and he will have trouble
 
Re: Louis Left arm bowling blog ! :)

Hmmmm lack of concentration sometimes he usualy gets himself out playing maybe an inswinger early on hmmmm itl be hard to bowl much variation btw i want to go down to lanks to get some help with my action to try and maximise my pace and sort my run up but im a left armer and im wondering if its realy going to be worth it seing as therll more then likely be rightys so may not understand my action :(

Day 10 - Had to go dentist so couldnt go gym did some press ups and light weights at home to try and make up for it tried to get myself booked in for a sesion at lancs this sat they will ring me back
 
Re: Louis Left arm bowling blog ! :)

Day 11 - Bowled at junior nets was a bit to easy tbh i wasnt realy doing much as the juniors are not very good at my club and got atleast every batsmen 4 times in only 15 mins batting and got forced to stop bowling after 2 batsmen had to stop through injuries one to chest one to the foot ! But its ridiculous playing 9-10 at night !
 
Re: Louis Left arm bowling blog ! :)
