NZ is right, and also when i was changing my biomechaics, thought one point i was bowling with a bent front knee, although it was more bent than yours i found i had a lot of strain on it and it was always hurting after practises, because it was having to carry so much weight on the knee basicly.

so bracting your leg really really really helps, you feel almost no strain, you also get a LOT more bounce aswell
 
i think the only strain i ever felt with a braced front knee is coming down very hard on a bouncer and feeling a bit of a strain on the right top of my thigh.
 
but thats fine now
 
the only thing i might say otherwise is that your arm comes over a bit early for your action and you seem to lose momentum quite alot.
it might seem abit typical of me but maybe driving your chest through abit more and slightly delaying your bowling arm, also make sure your front arm comes down with your front leg, i may be wrong but it looks like itst coming down a bit early.

Nope, no ligament damage should occur. Well i shouldn't say that. 'Pace' bowlers have something like 15x there body weight going through there knee's when they perform the bowling action. Wear and tear, and perhaps damage to ligaments if you land incorrectly is part and parcel of it.

Anyways back to ligament/knee damage, as long as you have a nice long follow through (which you do), things should be all good.

 Thanks for the advice and 'witty' comments! I'll try bracing my front knee more, though whenever you see pictures of people with staight front legs bowling they look like they're going to damage ligaments or something...]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:29:25 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4671&PID=184851#184851 help with bowling action : You love the approach of any woman,... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4671&PID=184800#184800 Author: fishcake14

 You're a girl??  It sure as hell seems like it's a natural bowling there, other than you need to be more upright on delivery instead of collapsing but I love the approach.  The future of Irish women cricket is here folks.

To be honest, your action looks alright, i really need to see a closer/zoomed in video from the back as well to check feet position. The only thing i would suggest is trying to brace your front knee a bit more when you land, you seem to flex it quite a bit so you lose momentum, though, unlike most people you do keep your non-bowling arm up nice and high so you don't 'do a stuart broad' and completly fall away.
