    Mate, I don't understand why you're doing a bodybuilder split. Are you training for cricket or training to look good?

    More on the bowling action

    Help for bowling!

    There are plenty of things I'd like to say, but I have an article coming out on Pitch Vision soon. In the mean time, here are a few points: Your front foot lands right in front of your back foot, closing your body off. You're a front on bowler, I would advise that you run in straight and get...

    Sounds good mate. My advice would be this. Once you've got to 20 push-ups and a few pull-ups start doing this: Articles Westside for Skinny Bastards is backed up by brilliant science, and has results to prove that it works. Joe DeFranco is the man, do this for 15 weeks and I'll put money on...

    I want to speed up my bowling

    Sorry if this seems a little obsessive but I just did a quick analysis of Sreethanth's action and have decided that he's got it all where it really matters. Apart from his bound. In my opinion, the bound is the worst idea I've ever heard. And in the scheme of things, Sreethanth's is one of the...

    I want to speed up my bowling

    No mate, if a bowler has ever bowled a ball over 93mph, I would say they have to do what I will suggest you do. For me 95mph is the speed where your biomechanics are pretty much 95% of the way there. No one will believe me on this but I predict that eventually someone will bowl 105mph if they...

    I want to speed up my bowling

    Ironically Dave, there is a secret, something that I really don't think that anyone's picked up on. All those things like rhythm and fluidity are very important, but I've seen some very slow rhythmic bowlers! hopefully it won't be too secret soon though!!! :laugh: All I'm going to say is that...

    Searching cricket stores in the London, Canterbury, Dover area

    Canterbury Cricket and hockey shop, went there today to buy new bowling boots! 11th Wicket at Kent County Cricket Ground. Both good quality shops, I'm sure you'll find what you need.

    I want to speed up my bowling

    Good job Mat, hopefully if all goes well all will be made crystal clear soon. I appologise that I can't outline my methods now, but I hope everyone understands that I've done a decent amount of work in getting to this stage and so would ideally like to be able to make half a living from my work...

    Interesting feedback. Dave, thank you, I will contacting you in the future. I will provide a sample soon, but in the mean time I can outline the principles which my research has highlighted as most important: - Generation of kinetic energy in the run-up - Stretching of elastic tissue prior to...

    Working out/ Practice session for the off season

    Agreed, and I'll add it will probably help your throwing and bowling (if you know what you're doing)

    Working out/ Practice session for the off season

    x2 above. My personal advice would be: If I were you, I'd cut out so much of the distance work. It's not cricket specific enough. You'd be much better off doing GPP, interval running or a strength endurance workout. If you really want to do some roadwork, I'd keep it to once per week. There are...

    Hello everyone, I know I've been saying a lot of stuff on the forum without really telling people what I've been talking about. The reason why I've been very selective in what I've been saying is becuase I feel that my work places a different emphasis on mechanics than the only real bowling...
