What Does 'Turning The Hips' Do In A Bowling Action ? Does it make you bowl quicker or something ?
I wouldnt say thatI would imagine it would have much more effect on a side on action, than a front on one?
I wouldn't say that, but a front on bowler can get away without one whereas a side on bowler must turn his hips somewhat. A front on bowler may suffer a huge lack of momentum if he doesn't turn his hips through, which means a fast run up and/or strong frame is needed.I would imagine it would have much more effect on a side on action, than a front on one?
Damn, wrong video, I'll get one from 2003 (done), where he is most certainly more side on than now. After a back injury, Brett Lee opened up his action more, which cost him an initial 10kph of pace. However, he is touching the 150kph mark again.But yea Brett Lee's action is the same in those 2 videos, he himself describes it as "more front on than side on" in an article he wrote about bowling the fastest ball in the world.
