I do not think I'll ever be a 'fast' bowler; especially at 58 years of age, but this has definitely helped my 'gentle' seamers gain a bit of zip!

[@CricketLifeStories]

Never too late!!

[@danogunner]

Kids today are so damn lucky to have KZbin content like this. I bowled medium pace as a 6ft3 because I was told to bowl tall (f%#) now at 35 I’m going back to club cricket to inject these tools into my action - all-rounder incoming!

[@CricketLifeStories]

Hope this video helps!

[@vijayd15]

This is the best cricket bowling video ever! Brilliant job

[@CricketLifeStories]

[@CricketLifeStories]

Amazing coach 🙌🏽

[@akashmain2610]

I bowl with semi-side on action. It's natural to me. I have seen bowlers with side on action having good accuracy and I feel it gives a bit of pace too. Is it advisable to change from semi side on action (which is natural to me) to side on action for that extra pace and accuracy?

[@CR-gr4bx]

This is one of the best analyses of fast bowling I've seen... though some of Ian's comments about 100m sprint times are a bit shaky, and I doubt H.Larwood bowled at 95mph. I suspect closer to 85-90mph and bowling speed has increased over the years to nudging 100mph. The real point here is bowling speeds have never been measured until quite recently, unlike time and distance parameters in other sports. But even if Larwood bowled at 95mph in 1933 (..which I doubt), the increase to 100.2 mph in 2003 is 5.5%. The real increase may be 10%. For the same time period, the 100m men's sprint time improved by only 5%. Therefore, I think it is wrong to say bowlers have stagnated and not increased performance over time unlike other sports. But this video only looks at conventional bowling actions. To go faster, slingshot (trebuchet) techniques need to be taught and nobody did it better than Jeff Thomson, who was most likely the fastest ever, and unconventional. Real speed comes from acceleration (not velocity) of the arm just before releasing the ball. A slingshot action with the ball starting low, or even behind the back, not only helps to delay the arm, but increases the length of arc for acceleration. More catapult, less flywheel. Its a difficult style to control and nobody teaches it because its seen as unconventional. To get upward toward 105mph I believe this style has most potential.

[@coloursarebrighter4719]

No you don’t have to bowl like Jeff Thompson to bowl 100mph that’s just one style as Ian was saying. And Larwood was definitely a lot quicker than 85mph

You mean to stop of a sudden on the front foot after having that fast Run Up and turn the hip and shoulder at great speed.. ? After all its human body.. without Bearings.. The front foot, especially the knee will get damaged.... Why nobody teaches the Technique of RunUp Momentum Pace Conversion.. Its Zero Body Stress Technique with more Pace.. Converting the Momentum gained through Run Up into Pace.. Somebody should be there but dont want to reveal it.....

[@SanjeeviS100]

Followed these steps, Practiced it for 2 weeks (6 hours a day), Went for a State bowling selection, Bowled accurate line and lengths with swinging deliveries with 125 kmph pace. But got rejected. And Shocked By seeing a guy got selected who has Close off front foot flaw. And has no accuracy or swinging skills. Worst of all, Selectors appreciates his bowling.😂😂😂 Feels like I'm in wrong place to play Cricket.😪😪😪 Mr. Ian Pont, Please tell me how can I play cricket in England?😂😂😂 I'm from India.
