I shall NP, the seasons finished so it will be quite some time before I play cricket again. I'll try it the next time i'm out with a few pals though.

Sounds good. Try it in the nets first to get used to it.evertonfan said:
Have any of you been timed in the nets before:
I would be intreged to know how fast you guys are in either mph or kph...
To all those who say pace does not matter I agree in part.
Ian Pont, Englands bowling coach says pace is a result of good biomechanics (which results in less injuries and better accuracy), it is trying to bowl too fast that results in loss of accuracy and injuries

There's a guy in my representive side that bowls at about 120.
I'm a fast medium sorta like bowler, I can bowl fast if I want. A slow ball is excellent if you can get it perfect. I don't really have one though as I usually relie on line and length, swing and a little bit of cut off the wicket.

Manee, by 'timed' do you mean clocked on a spedd meter? If so then my personal best is 76.3 mph but i'd say my average speed is around 70-71 mph. I focus much more on bowling a good line and length just as McGrath and Anderson do. I believe pace is necessary but accuaracy is more important, i've followed that motive since i've been playing cricket and it's partly due to McGrath being my cricketing idol.

Well I have pretty strong and defined arms but my run up is pretty short. I start off at about 65-67mph when opening the bowling and once I find my groove and my right line and length, I put in my effort balls but I aim mostly to have all of my delieveries at around 70-72mph and I save my really quick effort ball for when i'm ticked off.

Not exactly sure but i'm told that i'm close to 6 foot.
Not yet 6 foot and bowling 76mph, believe me, you will be rapid when you are older. The quickest bowler at my club at kids level is this kid who is 16 and he is 6ft 2 and bowls just over 72mph at his quickest...

I certainly hope so, i'm afraid i'm a genuine number 11 though. In fact, i'm so bad that I should bat at 12
. Capable of a few sixes though.
