Often it is triedness. Obviously fitness work helps but most importantly is early season net work. Simply, the action gets ragged when tired.What do you do when you start to trail down legside?
I was bowling really well for most of my spell, then the last 2 overs i was going down legside about 8 times from 12 balls.
I think it is tiredness, but what can you do to counter it?
The gather is about what is comfortable to you.Whats your opinion on the gather?
while you're here goughy, i got 2 quick questions about fast bowling.
Our top A grade fast bowler told me to load up near the hip area, kinda like Brett Lee, Chris Martin etc. And yet a coach in my club who has done a course in coaching (i know how you feel about that) told me to load up next to the chin.
Its kinda like a great fast bowler vs a not so great cricketer who has done coaching courses.
Whats your opinion on the gather?
And my left arm sort of goes from my left hand touching my right shoulder on the gather, to going out and pulling down, im not sure if this is the best way to do it. If not, how do you teach people to use their left arm? I read in another thread you should get your left arm up aggressively, im not doing that, im just pulling it down aggressively.
Yeah, its about whats comfortable.The gather is about what is comfortable to you.
Yup. Often a good idea to do your fitness work before training, and practice nailing the execution of your skills under fatigue.Often it is triedness. Obviously fitness work helps but most importantly is early season net work. Simply, the action gets ragged when tired.
You need to bowl hard and to heavy levels of tiredness in the nets pre-season to work on that concentration required when the body is giving up and on keeping the action tight when it starts to come a little unravelled due to fatigue.
Basically preparing and experiencing the the most exteme match situations when in practice so the body knows how to cope when faced with it.
