I’ve played cricket since I was around 8, and have always bowled off the wrong foot. I stopped playing when I was around 16, and have only this season started playing again, now at the age of 24. I can happily bowl launching off the correct foot now, but because of habit I can’t seem to consistently take off from the right place and therefore often end up losing my stride a little and just trotting a little to get into the right place, or just generally losing rhythm and therefore am struggling to find my rhythm whilst bowling. I don’t seem to consistently be in the same place a couple of steps before taking off and is really throwing me off, leaving me losing my action a bit and having to think about two or three things rather than just where I want to land it. I have other issues to address but I think this is the main one meaning I’m losing pace and rhythm. I am coming off 12 paces.
Does anyone know any drills or general tips for sorting this out?
