"I've improved most since doing some individual coaching sessions with Wello and Chris Peploe. I'm sure my game will continue to improve with this training and can't wait for the summer season to start."

Practical On-the-day Solutions to Bowling Poorly

Checklist

Here are a range of measures or ideas that can help you if you’re not bowling as well as you are capable of. There will be times when for whatever reason it just isn’t happening for you but on most occasions, you can try things which may help improve your bowling performance:

  1. Change ends
  2. Run up faster
  3. Run up slower
  4. Change grip
  5. Focus on line and length
  6. Specific technical focus ie: more front arm, standing taller, looking where you’re bowling
  7. Vary angle of run up
  8. Bowl round wicket
  9. Bowl to more defensive field
  10. Break time bowl-downs
  11. Are you trying to do too much with the ball?

This list is not exhaustive but provides some food for thought in trying to bowl better and there’s certainly no harm in giving one or more ideas a try.
