Front on, it definitely is easier to bowl shorter deliveries i.e bouncers, but i find because everything is just going straight instead of being side on and having to bring your body around it is also much, much easier to bowl line and length, while also just as easy to bowl swingers or cutting the ball.

It depends, definitely for spin it's like a sin to have a front-on action. You do get successful front-on pace bowlers though, so yeah, like inswinger says, it's your choice - if front-on works better, stick with it.]]> Thu, 03 Jan 2008 22:32:32 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4357&PID=169699#169699 bowling actions : haha i was jstu about to say!he's... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4357&PID=169698#169698 Author: inswinger

haha i was jstu about to say!
he's 6ft 2
same as hoggy TongueTongue

but for the origional person...i think bowling front on is ment to drag the ball down when you bowl but thats jsut what ive heard.

for me i have no control bowling front on over anything...line length, pace etc.
but its your choice...

Just give it a go bowling front on, i switched to it after having constant biomechanical problems bowling side on just over a year ago, and now i am a much better bowler, i am nearly 6 foot tall though.
 
James Anderson for England? He isn't small. He is 6ft odd.

There's been a few shortish pace bowlers...currently in the game Fidel Edwards (5ft 8in)and Mohammad Sami could be the shortest around. Funny enough both bowl 90mph +. Both are side on bowlers tho. I'd say if you want to bowl really fast then your unlikely to achieve that as a short man bowling front on. But that doesnt mean you cant take wickets by swinging and seaming the ball and being accurate.]]> Fri, 28 Dec 2007 18:28:15 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4357&PID=169157#169157 bowling actions : Well, can't really think... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4357&PID=168981#168981 Author: RightHandBat

Well, can't really think of somebody who is short with a front on action, but me myself, I'm 6 foot 1 and have an action sortof in the middle. Not front on, not side on and it feels really good on the body, not much strain after bowling long spells.]]> Wed, 26 Dec 2007 07:18:33 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4357&PID=168981#168981 bowling actions : Malcolm Marshall wasn't tall... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4357&PID=168964#168964 Author: spin wizard

Malcolm Marshall wasn't tall and he bowled front on. I prefer front on action really. Such ease on the body - you'll be less prone to injury bowling front on than side on.
