Pace Bowling

that would be my broken finger

I Like Bowling Yorkers,I Dont have The Pace To Bowl Affective Bouncers But I Respect Bowlers Who Bowl Bouncers On To The Body.

The Variations I Use Mostly Are:

- Normol Deliviery
- Off Cutter
-Leg Cutter
-Swinging Yorker( with new ball)


My Off Cutter Is Very Affective..Usualy Desievs The Batsman

I am 13 and I have measured 132 kph (In Dubai, at the shopping festival, Gillette was holding a fastest bowler contest.)
I can't really swing it in, but outswingers are quite EASY for me, rather natural. And I NEVER EVER compromise on accuracy, every single ball of mine hits exactly the spot I wish it to.
My variations include a slow ball (I roll my wrists), and I can bowl excellent leg cutters.
I can also bowl a pretty good bouncer. I play with the U-18s here, and I open the bowling for my team.
My coach tells me to bowl an just a little overpitched, and it should bounce over the stump. If you focus hard enough, you can get it right and that's amazing.
I am also a top order batsman (either 1 down or opening and occasionaly 2 down).
I have a rigid workout and I want to try in the MRF Pace Foundation, even though I stay outside India. If anyone knows about the requirements and details, please contact me by mail :shaazthegreat@gmail.com
I'll be going over to Chennai anyway!

For 13 year olds it's probably physically impossible, I would personnaly never trust speed guns, they quite often don't work, I was recorded as bowling a 70MPH legbreak on one once, and that is definitely impossible for a 14 year old.

I am in the Millenium School, Dubai. Kind of junk when it comes to cricket, my school. I go for coaching at Insportz, I also use to go for SCC.
Where do you stay? Which school?
Hey, guys, here's my workout routine:
1. 3 consecutive days in a week 2 and a half hour sessions with matches, nets or real match situation simulation. I don't work out on these days.

2. Once a week: Abdominal Circuit Training (30 mins) + 40 mins backyard cricket.

3. Once a week: Footwork Training (15 mins) and a Game of Soccer (45mins) with friends.

4. Once a week: Bowling and fielding and sometimes batting-nets (1hour) + (1 hour rest) Upper Body Circuit Training (25 mins) + Backyard Cricket (25 mins)

5. Once a week: Bowling and fielding and sometimes batting-nets (1hour) + (1 hour rest) Lower Body Training - Simple Plyometrics and Running(25 mins) + Abdominal Circuit (25 mins)

Might be a mistake, dunno. But it is possible to bowl at those speeds for a 13 yr old, you know. Ppl here in this country are HUGER, and with workout we can develop lots of pace.
Too much time is spent on technique. Focus should be on "FOCUS". :D
If you can imagine the ball leaving your hand and bouncing in a certain manner, focus a lot on that, and you'll get it right.
Search google for the BRacewell fastbowling formula and also register at greg chappell's site (www.chappellway.com.au) and look at the interactive coaching module.
