How does one become a pace bowler? How risen up

[Jumno]

I'd love to have seen Chris woakes how he risen up the ranks

What did he do when he was spotted and what did he do on his way up to get to the bears side?

Did he practice and practice till he got perfect in his back garden?

There are many factors however he might have done something physically or mentally

Gym work of course

From a child to his rise at club cricket before bears, what did he do?

How do you think he started

 

[trundler]

I think he did a single push up.

 

[cnerd123]

probably came through junior cricket - clubs, schools, etc. Some coach or scout identified his talent and got him a county contract and boom, all upwards from there.

I'm sure his wikipedia page has more details, and you can probably trace his scorecards back on cricket archive.

Ive checked and very vague details

You are right

He must've done something or something mentally to get spotted and rise through the club's in his backyard

Maybe intense practice and an obsession to be a cricketer at any cost

The starting point is to make sure your elbow does not bend too much.

You've got to try really hard and give it your best shot. If you do that you can be anything.

IIRC Woakes spent many years being ignored by the England selectors because he wasn't considered quick enough. He went away and somehow added an extra couple of yards to his pace and at one point was hitting 90mph occasionally. No idea how he did that. I can't think of many other examples of pace bowlers who got quicker at that stage of their careers.

Practice, listen to your coaches , the basics ..
Your talent will take care of the rest .

Virtually every fast bowler is born with that ability

A coach can straighten them out but he generally can’t teach them to bowl quick

Basically, you have it or you don’t

Ryan Harris.

One of 2 complete outliers along with Nortje

Virtually everyone else was seriously rapid anyway but with flaws

Woakes was never “slow” & has never been express

He just got better

Imran Khan

Completely changed his action, runup and attitude

He was also picked way too early

His autobiography is a really good read and explains how he did it

Started bowling 90+ mph at 22 so wasn’t old at all

He does have a pretty perfect back garden.
