Hi,
I am a left arm medium bowler and I bowl 45 - just <60 mph. I aspire to be as fast as Brett Lee, Shane Bond, or Shoiab Akhtar.
Could people that have experience of any kind of pace give me some tips and answers to my questions.
Kenny Benjamin once said: "A fast bowler should have strong lower body and a flexable upper body." Is this true?
My bro gave me the tip of having a loose arm when I bowl, do any of you fast bowlers do that?
My wrist falls away when I bowl...do you reckon it could be to do wid having a stiff arm?
Strong lower body
Improved fitness - build stamina
Build momentum in your run up.
Dont make the run up too long
Upper body strength - shoulder and stomach muscles and core strength
Michael Holding once said, excersise for 10-15 minutes before bowling, it reduces chance of injury and helps biuld rhythm.
Thanks in advance
Reps for ALL helpful advice
Manee
