Hiya, im mainly a batsman but do bowl right arm medium and have had some success bowling like this but, i am very keen to become a genuine fast bowler. I have an 11 pace run-up but it doesn't really generate alot of pace for me, but i do not sprit it, and i don't really follow through alot, but i don't feel the need to with the pace at which im bowling and my pace doesn't make me follow through. Can i get some help on bowling faster, including everything from my run up to my action, and i will not hesitate to change my action for that extra pace. when i say i bowl medium pace, i am 15 and bowl at around 60 mph. thanks alot, Ashley |

whilst strength is important, i think rhythm and flexibility are more improtant, if you look at most the fast bowlers today, only simon jones and brett lee and shoiab have alot of strength behind them, but harmi, ntini, steyn, mgrath, flintoff etc all use rhythm, basically without the rhythm, the strength isnot goin to help much!

If you get height by keeping your back leg straight and almost standing up completely when you bowl you will find that you will get a lot more pace. I know I did. by the way this info came from a coach at the Oval.

As a fast bowler , You need to strenghten the arms and chest. Try doing push ups to start off with and then you can go to the gym. Jogging builds the muscles as well and swimming , it strenghtens all over the body. Go to the thread strenghtening the body with excersise for more tips. Also , try bowling with a quick action to give more pace. Remember , speed is measured at the point of release so the quicker you release the ball the quicker it is. |

I think you'd need lots of Iron and milk. You could also trying finding the suitable action to help you bowl a bit quicker.
