Hi,
I am an 11 year old bowling all rounder.What are the best drills to make me bowl faster. I don't have coaching because I live in morocco and I can't use the pitchvision academy. I do have a space to run up properly and bowl on a normal length strip.
Thanks
Hi
I open the bowling for an under 16's team. Last season i had a huge work load. There was just 9 games in the season but we had two buys and i didn't play in one game. I played 6 games and bowled 72 overs. This was just in junior comp. I also play seniors and i bowled about 150 overs in that comp. after every season the same thing happens to my body. I always do my back, hip or my side. is it because i bowl too many overs? What are some exercises that could help me with my stamina/work load this season?
Thanks.
Sir,how can i measure my bowling speed ?is there any speedgun available to buy individually?
@james
yoo dude do you bowl pace, spin or what? if its pace, ive been reading that a mixed action (upper body side on and lower straight on or vice versa) can really do a number on everyting you've mentioned so check that out.i could be wrong (this is coming from a glovesman) haha
