I am 30 and recently returned to cricket having not played since school (18). At school I was if i do say so myself, a very decent fast bowler, capable of varying length and line almost at free will. I wish that was still how i bowled
This is very very much no longer the case! Any attempt at pace bowling either pitches incredibly short (so much so it doesn't reach the stumps sometimes) or baloons straight into the air (think it may even be capable of going for 6 in byes). This has now even started happening to my offspin bowling as well. I am reduced to bowling very poor leg spin. Which given my very average batting means I am struggling to take any pleasure in playing.
what are some drills I can do to work back to more effective control of line and length and what might be the causes of my very full or short bowling? Is it just a case of releasing at the right point and my body has forgotten the motor pattern to do so or might there be other causes?
Appreciate any advice or tips!
