This free video guides you through a simple drill to help you improve your bowling control without becoming robotic. Filmed at Activate Cricket Centre in Sydney, you can do the drill on your own or with a coach giving feedback as you perform it.

I'll leave a full answer to John, but I would say this: If you can do this drill perfectly every time there is no need to progress it, you are one of the most accurate bowlers ever!

Just like any drill, dm - once you have completed it, you do it again and again and again until you can hit any target every time! You can alter the drll by setting up the targets as if you were bowling to a left hander.... you could try and complete it from around the wicket ... the combinatons are virtually endless!
By the way - I have seen a player complete the sequence in 4 balls but it usually takes between 15 and 30 balls for most junior bowlers to complete and they should not be bowling more than 30 balls flat out in a single training session anyway.
If you are regularly completing the sequence in fewer than 10 balls - you are a genius and perhaps (while you are waiting to be picked up by a first class side) you could see how may times you could complete the sequence in say 36 balls. Good luck!

Cricket Basic Number 44: Turn the Tough Times to Your Advantage
44. When the going gets tough, tough teams take the winning advantage. When the game becomes do or die confidently encourage your team, concentrate on the basics and put the pressure onto the opposition.
