If you’re running in with both hands on the ball to hide the shiney side then run in quicker.

This will make up for the fact that you’ll be losing a little bit of momentum because your arms won’t be working quite as efficiently as when you’re running in without hiding the ball.

Here is just one way bowlers can achieve reverse swing.

If the conditions are right and the bowler presents the seam into the airflow correctly.

Reverse swing can be devastating.

Thanks for the share 🙏🏻

What the point in having a perfect off season?

One that is comfortable.

With no stress when you’re training.

The perfect off season will include as many of the physical, mental and skill demands as possible that you will encounter in matches.

Little pockets of play where you practice to get better in those uncomfortable moments where matches are won, or lost.

How is your off season going?

If you’re a quick bowler here is an example of what a good back foot contact looks like.

Generally work towards spending less time on back foot and more time on foot.

Get off the back foot quicker by keeping on the front half of your foot which will keep you moving forwards and help push into front foot contact.

Keep in mind that every bowler is different although this general rule works well.

@JaydenLevitt I’m similar.

Being more curious about peoples opinions instead of allowing them to affect how I felt.

Understanding that wealth isn’t necessarily linked with the most money.

Teams that win have the fewest injuries.

Are you working on your fitness to help your team win this year?

A simple drill for spinners practicing to achieve more top spin.

Top spin will drag the ball down into the surface.

Replace the stumps with any obstacle which challenges the bowler to get it over the obstacle and then into length with spin.

Doesn’t count if it’s a ‘lob up.’

Here is why bowling a wobble seam ball can be so challenging for batters.

Show them you can swing the ball.

Change your grip on the ball slightly.

With no change of action so the batter doesn’t pick up anything that’s different (apart from a grip change)

Look to bowl the same length.

Challenge both edges.

Here are some things to do at training to stand a chance of being the best bowling group in your league this year.

The best do things differently.

They train differently from the rest.
