Better than batting like him.open365 said:Am i the only one who thinks you bowl like Chris Martin?
no! I couldn't believe the resemblance when I saw myself and have been looking for a video to compare.. Glad you mentioned it, I think he has a good actionopen365 said:Am i the only one who thinks you bowl like Chris Martin?
good **** thereNeil Pickup said:I'm sure I do somewhere. As for "what is ****?" - just the wrist tilting backwards so your arm's not all limp and floppy; you probably do it naturally.

1) You need to use the run-up to your advantage to build momentum and pace in your bowling and not just as a formality.
Increase the length and gradually increase the pace at which you run.
2) As SS said, bend your back more and get some extra forward momentum at the time of delivery.
3) The direction looks good overall but I think I noticed you swerving in closer to the stumps at the last moment - perhaps it was just the angle.
You looked slightly imbalanced to me at first but I think it's fine.
Good stuff for a start. If I had an action like that, I'd still be an opening pace bowler.
Out of interest, why?Maybe its the angle, but check to make sure your toes aren't pointed towards the slips.
Thats what I was always taught. It hurts your line. Not true?Out of interest, why?
I'll defer to you on this but I've always thought it will hurt your consistency a little bit.Depends, really. My front foot points to the slips and I firmly believe it helps bring the hips through and generates far more explosion.
I'm guessing that isn't JoburgOkay my latest, I'm fairly happy with it, but I don't think my head position on release is great.. Video slowed deliberately.. And I'm not bowling at 100% pace because I don't want to crock myself before proper nets start
