I've heard a lot about a collapsing back leg being a major cause for back injuries in fast bowlers and, as a coach, I naturally want to prevent this from happening to any of the players I coach.

Is it such a huge problem - many international players appear to have a bent back leg at delivery - and what are the warning signs that it is occurring? What does a collapsing back leg actually look like?
