    Boult and Southee - lack of swing

    The secret isn't wholesale change for any bowler that's playing International cricket. It's about working on what they can do BETTER, not changing the very things that are working.. Oddly, people don't have problems 'coaching' batsmen when they have issues, but have trouble coaching bowlers as...

    Help with cricket bowling speed

    Of course it is perfectly possible to get faster by maximising key parts of your bowling action. At 15, a speed of 120-125kph would be very good. There are a few nudging 128 kph around but that is not very common. 115 kph (if accurate) isn't bad. I say 'if accurate' because most speed guns I...

    **Official** Ishant Sharma Disparagement Thread

    For fairness, as long as they mention Mohit Sharma, Harshal Patel, Darren Gough, Dale Steyn or Shoaib Akhtar as well, I don't mind. Joking apart, I am used to t**** taking the piss to be honest. You can't be a coach working with all levels of players, if you are worried about a few saddos...

    Ultimate pace secrets

    I am working with Harshal Patel via Haryana CA. He has the drills and is working on his action. I am confident his speed will start to climb but doing the drills is up to him. You are referring to Shahbaz Choudhry. He has some personal issues and has taken time away from cricket. I haven't seen...

    Ultimate pace secrets

    I talked about Varun Aaron here: http://www.newstrackindia.com/newsdetails/2012/06/03/268-Aaron-and-Patel-are-India-s-best-fast-bowling-hopes-Ian-Pont.html Junaid Zia has some potential and can be better with a couple of small tweaks. Looks a good prospect.

    Ultimate pace secrets

    Malinga actually has a good action (biomechanically) and much of his positions are excellent. It's simply he has a 'shearing' rotational force that takes his arm unusually low compared to more 'classic' bowlers. Sohail Tavir would be someone who doesn't maxmise his assets (biomechanically) and...

    Ultimate pace secrets

    LOL.. wood chopping drill is a javelin throwers drill. Simplistic version is the medicine ball throw I guess. Only buy my book if you are serious about pace bowling. It's not a Harry Potter novel ;-)
