Cricket Coaching Tips
Improving Your Bowling
Bowling can be a difficult skill to master but you can really improve by following these simple principles. First things first - get a good basic 2 finger grip on top of the ball with your thumb underneath. When practising concentrate on your bowling action first - your run up can come later. Try to bowl from a relatively sideways position gathering both your arms up to your head - Glenn McGrath is a good example to follow.
When bowling make full use of your front arm towards your target and with your bowling arm, look to release the ball as high as possible - 12 o'clock on the clock face. Keep your eyes focused on where you want the ball to land from the beginning of your run up right through to your follow through.
