Marty Kain's bowling action is an obscenity not seen since the days of Paul Adams, good grief.

HeathDavisSpeed · 23-12-2012, 06:45 PM

Marginally worse than Lance Dry's action, I will freely admit.

zorax · 23-12-2012, 07:21 PM

Marty Kain's action is hideous. It's like a random spectator was tossed the ball and asked to bowl without ever having bowled before in their life. How is this guy a first-class cricketer?

Can I get a compilation of Marty Kain bowling? I need to see more of this atrocity.

I second this.

Chubb · 23-12-2012, 07:50 PM

Has anyone done an article asking him why he bowls like that?

Seriously though, wtf. He bowls like a 12 year old who has just discovered what cricket is. How has nobody stopped him and told him that his action is complete rubbish.

wellAlbidarned · 23-12-2012, 09:22 PM

I'm sure it's worked very well for him throughout high school and age group cricket so there's been no real reason to tamper with it.

It's weird, wacky, strange etc but I wouldn't say horrible. Okay, maybe horrible if he's trying to get traditional spin deliveries, but he seems to have found a niche or way to bowl that suits his purpose. It works for him sometimes, obviously. If he wanted to bowl differently, I imagine he would've changed his action by now.

zorax · 24-12-2012, 06:30 AM

Yea, I got used to it a bit more after watching that video. I guess it grows on you.

Still quite a bad action though...doesn't look like he uses his body at all, it's just his shoulder and arm forcing the ball through. Looks painful as well.
