Best bowling actions to copy

[SHEEEESH_KABABzzz]

What's a good bowling action for fast bowling that won't attract injuries but would add more pace but at least with some line & length control and also swing. Some bowling actions I have in mind are Waqar Younis, Brett lee, Dale Steyn and James Anderson.

Chris Woakes has a really good bowling action imo.

 

[SHEEEESH_KABABzzz]

Yeh his action also is quite good too

Dale Steyn. Results may differ

 

[Blakey]

Sir Richard Hadlee.

Richard Hadlee's inspirational last day spell on a feather bed pitch at the MCG. Take a look at first ball to Dean Jones.

 

[Neil Young]

Sir Richard Hadlee.

Yep, this.

Darren Gough had a lovely action to copy, like a slingshot.

 

[Line and Length]

Lindwall, Trueman, Lillee and Hadlee

 

[smash84]

Hard to go past McGrath if you want a very repeatable and non-injury incurring action.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Good luck copying Anderson's action.

Who copied Dennis Lillee

 

[Wanna_Be_AB]

Steyn for sure... the only difference is he reached 150+ at time and i hardly get at 130 lol

 

[Line and Length]

I forgot Holding when i gave my list.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Pollock has a very easy and repeatable action..

I think the Pakistani Pacer Mohammad Asif also had a very good action for anyone looking to keep it simple.

 

[Sunil1z]

Allan Donald also had a very smooth action

I spent my whole career fiddling and tuning my action to be biomechanically optimal and honestly think it was mostly counter productive - iron out any major mechical faults (e.g angled runup, falling away, missing front arm) but otherwise you'll get more bang for buck improving your fitness and working on your strategy/accuracy imo. Genetics is everything in fast bowling (when it comes to top-end pace at least)

 

[Starfighter]

Pollock has a very easy and repeatable action..

You watching the same Shaun Pollock who appeared to put in an enormous amount of effort to bowl 126 km/h?

 

[Chin Music]

Steyn on the list above, Hadlee of the others.

 

[ankitj]

Allan Donald also had a very smooth action

That's the first name that comes to my mind too.

I would suggest you to turn into a left arm spinner and then copy his action.

@capt_Luffy can help you.

But if you stick to pace bowling, Chris Woakes' action is the way to go.

You're welcome.
