It's hard to work on swing bowling with a batsman in the way, so if you want to work on the techniques of swing, take away the batter and try this drill.

Set up a pitch with 2 extra sets of stumps like so:

The aim is to swing the ball through the "gates". You can bowl in or outswing.

It's a great trick because you get instant feedback that you can track and watch improve over time.

To aid with the swing, try using a special swinger ball, a tape ball or an old ball that you have deliberately roughed up as well as shined.

Give it a go and let me know how you get on!
