Your Cricket What's your bowling action?

[madmick96]

What's your bowling action? I do lots of different things but most of the time I do a natural movement similar to James Hopes and Glenn McGrath.
Pace:
1 - Glenn McGrath
2 - Brett Lee
3 - Stephen Harmison
4 - Stuart Clark
5 - Shoiab Akhtar, Shaun Tait
Spin:
1 - Natural Leg-Spin
2 - Shane Warne
3 - Natural Off-Spin
4 - Mohammad Rafique
5 - Danish Kaneria

I bowl Sling-Arm like Jeff Thompson and Fidel Edwards. Now, only if I had the Pace. I try to practice every weekend, will try to play Club Cricket in the US.

 

[Left_Hander]

Well I bowl spin and it looks like a Shane Warne action.

Very home-made. I guess there's a bit of Saqlain Mushtaq to it, though I was called Paul Adams once

 

[BigCrickNan]

I have a very simple Saqlain Mushtaq style off spinner action. I also bowl a flipper as my variation which is a bit likes Warne's.

 

[Indiangod]

I too have a simple Saqlain Mushtaq style off spinner action.

I have a classically sideon action for legspin, and I don't mind doing pace with it either. I can sling if I want to, also I can do a reasonable front-on action (that sounds really dodgy ) that must look a bit like Freddie Flintoff.

 

[Stephen Bailey]

Very home-made. I guess there's a bit of Saqlain Mushtaq to it, though I was called Paul Adams once

:laugh

I'm neither front on or side on really. I have a fairly big jump depending on my mood and I reach up as far as I can (which isn't very high when you're 5'10"!!) and follow through at varying angles depending on the effort!

I bowl off-breaks, so it's just a walk in to the crease then a skip and into my action. Twist my body as much as possible when releasing the ball to try get maximum rotation.

Well mine is quite simple. A 10 yard run-up, run in a bit slowly and gain pace in the last 3 yards, not a big jump and bowl. Bit similar to Agarkar's action. Though I get my pace from my shoulders and height.

 

[usy]

Well I bowl like Glenn McGrath, but not as fast as him .

 

[Bala]

I thought you would bowl leggies like Imran Farhat!

 

[.::Stevo::.]

I bowl like Murali. That's why I play Baseball.

I thought you would bowl leggies like Imran Farhat!

won't that just take it too the moon?

Personally, I bowl a little like Mohammad Rafique, except I cock my wrist just before bowling and I try to give the ball as big a rip as I can. My variations are the 'nude' delivery, the arm ball and a really quick delivery.
