Someone called quicky asking for tips on speed? 

I suggest that you build up your chest muscles and do push ups do get stronger biceps. I did this for 2 weeks and I had a huge increase in speed (About 7 - 10 mph I think). And make sure your run up is smooth, that's where a lot of speed lurks too.. ;)

Well you might lose your line if you over do the pace.

Yes, gives you added bounce and if you release it from slightly higher then you'll go a bit quicker.

Use your back feet and arm all at the same time.
They should all move forward at the exact same time.

when you finish running and are about to release the ball...

bend back slightly, jump put your front foot down and then move your back back in normal position as you are releasing the ball.


Note the position of his back.

against a speed gun, if you live in aus you probably have these facilities pretty much everywhere just get on ur cricket australia website and they will tell u where to get your speed measured, trust me you dont bowl as fast as you might think, i mean warne is just a spinner with a few feet in run up and he bowls 50mph and a bowl 50mph-60mph and i have to run up and put some effort into it, so i guess as u get older u can bowl quicker because of ur muscles.

 Oh right (after all that kerfuffle, honestly).

What happens if the bowler is such a slow bowler that the ball does not even reach the batsman?

Given some recent discussions about fast bowling on this forum there is a great joke to be made there, but it would cause a riot so I'll keep my trap shut :)
