Sometime's when I bowl my pace im not releasing the ball on time,on some occasions I release it and it goes 10 metres plus then what it should be,I think I bowl about 50kp/h with a cricket ball,I have a deadly yorker and bouncer and I can bowl good meidum pace.

I'm 15 and I bowl about 50-65 on average but when I'm really going for it I can get it over 70 and about 5 different slower balls

Well it 30mph, but I didn't want to just say that's slow, it's a bit harsh.

I can bowl quite fast now, I get about 71mph on average and my extra fast delivery, which I use very rarely as a surprise is 78mph.

I'm wondering though, I jump off my right foot (I'm a right handed bowler) and my coach said it should be on the left foot to get my legs in a better position.
I don't know how to do this properly and I'm just gonna stick jumping off the right foot, will this be ok?

You guys are slow, I think i can make 80mph and I am 16, have mighty strong arms though. Your run up affects your pace as well so try to get a smooth quick one to increase pace like lee.
In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

Jump off the left foot? I don't understand that. A right handed bowler has to jump off the right foot to get the left leg around and planted to pivot over for the delivery.
I swing both ways - but only when I'm bowling!

If you jump off the right foot, it's gonna be really hard to get in to a side on position to get away swing.
You will also be putting extra pressure on your left knee which isn't good . But, having said all that, stick to the action that suits you best.Everyone's different and I'm sure sctions of people like shaun tait and jeff thomson aren't recomended by coaches

Yeah, I went outside and took a couple of mock run-ups to see what I was doing, because when I thought about it, you have to come off the left foot to get the right foot to come down in the right place first before you plant your left foot to pivot on, but it's something you just do naturally and don't think about - at least, it is with me.

Just a word of advice. NEVER try javellings. It'll completely mess up you run up.

80mph and you should be on the brink of becoming the new international seamer, considering im 2 years younger than you i am a good bowler to be hitting 60mph consistently. If you bowl 80mph you should be a great seamer when your older, good luck being the new england fast bowler

I'm nearly 16 and I'm not even sure if I can bowl 60mph...No chance for me as an pace bowler, better stick with legspin
