Spin Bowler in Cricket Game.

I bowl a bouncer.

It's effective only the first time, through the surprise element. Any decent batsman will line it up and smack it if you try it again.

Phil Edmonds did once - not convinced it wasn't at Dennis Lillee in which case it was distinctly risky

Whatever it takes!!!
Nah. You just really gotta bend your back and whip your arm through quickly. Helps if you're tall and already bowl with a high-arm action.

Pretty sure your elbow flex will be greater when you do all that and its not gonna be tough to see coming either and the max speed you will achieve, just going by what Afridi did, will be circa 125 Kph. Not gonna surprise batsmen. The better faster delivery is the one that Kumble had coz there was no visible change in the bowling action or trajectory. That kind of quicker ball at around 100 to 105 Kph can be much more effective than an actual bouncer.

yea im not saying its a good ball. just saying it's possible

I use it in the nets. Works the first time when the batsman doesn't expect it. Doesn't work the second time.

Thanks.

Practice makes a Man Perfect.

Do you feel with continuous practice by the Spin Bowler in the nets,he can bowl effective bouncer in One Day International (ODI) or T20 cricket?

The Bouncer bowled by the Spin Bowler should be a dot ball not conceding any run to the Batsman.

Thanks & Regards,

Nah, this is a one-off, freak thing. I'd be surprised if he can perfect this kind of delivery.
