hey guys
 
My team mates have notice that i overstretch at the crease when i bowl. They say i bend backwards a lot more than i used to and i stretch upwards too much.
 
As a result i have lost rhthym and fluidity in my action which is decreasing my pace.
 
Can anyone advise me on this?? Is it down to my run up etc
 
Thanks

That should be easy to figure out. I guess you're trying for too much pace or whatever you bowl!

In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

I'd have to agree with spin wiz here... also sounds like a case of over coaching, or trying to self-coach based on tv coverage.

Just go back to basics, try coming in off half run up, or even a few steps and try get things feeling right
