4 Simple ways to be a better fast bowler
Fast bowling is an obsession.Good fast bowlers say that, when they were young, bowling with pace was their passion. If you want to be really fast as a bowler look to build speed first and last.
After building genuine pace, it is important for you to perfect your bowling action. Anything lacking in bowling actions would not only make you lose control of your deliveries, it leads to injuries by putting extra stress on a player’s body. Anyone who has played cricket will tell you that changing your bowling action is hard. So it’s important that you stay on the right track from the beginning and develop a decent action which would allow you to bowl fast and achieve greatness.
Here are a few thinks you should look to do when you run in to bowl:
1. Measure Your Run-up
Carefully measure your run-up, no one but you can judge what length would be suitable for you. If you can bowl quick with a short run-up like Wasim Akram then run in from a short run-up. However if you feel that your action requires a run-up like Bret Lee, so be it. What is not acceptable is that you running in to bowl every ball with a different length of run-up, if you do that you won’t be able to control your bowling
2. Tilt Back and Lean Forward while Delivering a Ball
If you want to bowl with pace, it is important that you have the right momentum. The impetus your action will be the extra pace you will be able to generate. Take a swift run in, and just when you are about to deliver, tilt back. Then immediately drive forward when you deliver the ball. By doing this, you should be using your chest muscle and upper body strength. This would generate a lot of pace and a swift follow through.
3. Bring Down the Front Arm Straight Across
This reduces stress from your back. If you bring down your non bowling arm straight across, it allows you to deliver the full thrust your body without putting extra pressure on any other body part. Bowlers who are late in bringing down their front arm exert pressure on their shoulder blades, and those who bring it down away from the body put killing stress on their back. This again, is not an effective technique of bowling quick but also for a smooth action. Little things like this prolong a bowler’s life.
4. Jerk the Wrist Forward at Point of Delivery
Give your wrist a jerk at the last moment of releasing the ball. This will give you extra pace, and depending upon your grip also some movement off the seam. If you are tall quick, jerking the wrist will also give you some extra bounce.

David,
the 2nd tip - tilt back? doesn't Ian Pont say you should NEVER be doing that, coz the momentum is backwards then? It's more like a braking action when you land after the jump right?
But i've felt that some quick bowlers like lee, and tait, (and from the above pic steyn) tilt back a little... but donald, ambrose etc spent so little time with their right leg planted, coz the weight was forwards... What's your take on this?
I read a javelin tips page which says when throwers thrust their legs forward it might look like the body is tilting back, while the weight is still forwards
dear david.
my name is faran and im 23 yrs old. my bowling is quite fast, the only problem i have with my bowling is that i cant bowl on line and length.i tried so much, but i still end up throwing 3 to 4 wides in an over..and i end up with alot of pain in my back after 4 to 5 overs...
is theere any tips you can give me which will help me in future? thanks
nothing comes easy
so practice harder on keeping your wrist behind the ball
and remember that not even pros swing every ball
so keep tryin cuz u have your age to your advantage
n my personal advice is to go for a run up that's 18-20 paces
and try using shoulder-hips alignment
also use your wrist to get better swing
Hey Umer, your cousin bowls at around 160-165km/hr based on 0.44sec....I think NOT!
YEAH u got wok hard and be positive . I have a problem i swing the bowl when i bowl slow bt i get wild when trying to bowl fast . So what i am going to do pls help..
Practice more is all I can say. Don't expect to the baal to move a lot initially. Keep practicing and you will get it one day and keep thinking when you are bowling. Judge the batsmen's comfort level and make variations to your bowling

Hi,
I am 18, 6'1" and 60 kg.I can bowl at high pace and can swing taped tennis ball in air easily. (actually I managed to bowl outswing in air in 7 shape.
But I HAVE THESE Problems:
* I having around 5 bowling actions and I can never had constant bowling action.
* I cannot control ball and have no idea how to aim target very accurately.
* If I bowl 2 overs then in my first over I generally bowl 3 wides but in 2nd over line is very well.
any Tips?
bro juist work on your seam position and swing, make sure you use your wrist when swinging the ball, have a smooth run up and action which makes it easier to land it on the seam, make sure youre comfortable with your run up you should be running at about 3/4 speed at delivery pouint, dont worry too much about speed like you said batsman can stroke it away you cant bowl fast enough that its unplayable. fitness activites are good!

Hello David, I am a right arm fast-medium bowler. The problem with me is my wrist doesn't jerk or move from it's locked position. Can you give me some advices/ drills to improve my wrist movement? I will be very thankful.
i m mani from burhan, i m a fast bowler and i m 17 years old, i have good pace in bowling but now a days i have loss all of my pace what should i have to do to regain my bowling pace, plzzz help me
Achal, i read ur post, i think when u start run up then just focus to deliver ball just lit outside of off stump n pitch on good length. N most important, holding ball nt much tight n keep ur face straight while delivering ball. For speed i think ur jump is most important. Then shoulder power n last moment ur wrist jerk. It may help u.
Hi, my name is Omar, 15 years of age, from Australia. I am a left arm pace bowler, usually open the bowling, I have developed a natural inswinger and the occasional outswinger to the right handed batsman, my main concern is my run up and follow through. I extract decent speed yet I think that if I could work on my run up, definitely my pace would increase even more. I keep a 15 step run up, adding another 3 walking steps to it and then run in, my follow through has benefited from these 3 additional steps. I have this tendency to be wary of the bowling crease and am overly concious of crossing the line, which kind of leads me to take smaller, halting steps towards the end of my run up, which decreases speed. How can I overcome this problem? Analysing Wasim Akram's tapes, I noticed the fact that he did not have a large jump in his run up compared to bowlers like Imran Khan so also would like to know the advantages and the need to have a jump in my run up.

hi i am from Mumbai,india i am 18 years old my height is 6.3 and action is mixed of mitchell johnson and brett lee i can ball consistently at 140+ with accuracy but can bowl 145+ with little effort my problem is that when batsmen hit me for four or six i get angry and increase my pace but end up giving more extras and wides how can i get accuracy bowling fast without decreasing pace many say to decrease pace but i want to increase it also can joining gym increase my pace
You should take your run-up according to the rhythm. So that ur body comes in the good position while bowling.
Don't hold the seam tightly. Make it loose. And put ur thumb tip underneath the ball.
hi my name is usama im 12 yrs old im a very fast bowler the problem with my length and line.
Hi, I have followed young fast bowlers' progress with interest over a few years and have reached a few conclusions:
- fast bowlers are full of hype and exaggeration
- a fast action aged 10yrs will probably end up fast at 18yrs
- youngsters grow at different rates, which determines the rate of increase in their speed
- genuine target speeds for a hand held speed gun (remarkably consistent) based on kids I have coached are in mph (sorry): 10yrs = 58mph; 11yrs = 61mph; 12yrs = 64mph; 13yrs = 67mph; 14yrs = 70mph
- there are few good fast bowling coaches around, but the ones there are can add up to 10mph, but there are more important interventions
- kids are obsessed with pace, but unless it is searing, it's unlikely to blow batsmen away without a bit of accompanying sophistication.
- stress fractures are scarily common, not helped by the fact that a mixed action does seem to often be associated with some rapid deliveries.
- fast bowling is really a mug's game. But can be terribly exciting.....

Hi sir !! I am gaurav from India . I m 20 years old n i can bowl fast at about 135 km/hr . Earlier i used to bowl very slow but from the past two years i m working on my run up n that's why i can bowl that fast now but sir there is a problem the pace doesn't completely come from the shoulder , major part of the pace comes from straightening of the elbow (a bit like steyn) and people always end up reporting me for illegal action !!! How should I correct myself sir !!!?? Please help me sir ..i m getting depressed over this!!
mostly u need to concentrate at your foot work mainly on front foot for good defencive batsmen blenfing front foot is more important try to defend the ball only on off side mind that u should give extra effort defending the sweet touch ...to the ball is important more over if u face a bowler whose bowling style is not familiar to u just leave ball on check his phase for two deliveries r more if it was on the stumps jus softly put the bat before your legs ....remenber that if u are a defence batsmen always u need to the phase of bowler......judge,lean ,front foot ,off side ,sweet touch 5 laws for to improve the defencive skills
As for as your concern bowling is no problem... just use your brain before you run up to bowl and then deliver the ball. because it seems like batsman are predicted, what kind of ball you are going to bowl.. so you just mix up with some varieties like slow ball, off cutter,,, whichever you prefer....
then about batting, see when you bat in nets almost you are confident of seeing the ball and hitting. but when it comes to the games same thing you have to do... just see the ball and hit it in the gaps in the beginning then make it big....
i hope it is useful for you... thank you

Hey achal I am too of 15 in age and I bowl 130 k`s and I HV bowling fast is done by passion and aggression it is a thing which is by birth if you HV that aggression then nly batsmen will nt be able to play. Fast bowlers are born too bowl fast they r not made they HV that aggression by birth it is not being created
Achal I am also of 15 in age and I bowl above 130"ks and the thing is that you HV to select one whether bat or bowl the thing is that you must be having that aggression in yourself fast bowlers are vorn to ball fast they are not made they are there only to bowl quick and the thing is if you HV that aggression I bet even sachin or sehwag will HV trouble stroking you away

Man throwing the ball at a high speed is not the crux of GOOD PACE BOWLER! you need to have good line and length... Am a 17 year right arm pace bowler and my pace variations are around 130kmph/146kmph...
1. TO SWING A BOWL YOU NEED TO HAVE A CORRECT GRIP AND ACTION !
i.> INSWING- Hold the cricket ball with the seam vertical and the first two fingers slightly across the seam so that it is angled a little to the leg side. (note- one side of the bowl should be worn and other should be polished! The ROUGH SIDE WILL BE ON RIGHT SIDE IN INSWING)
ii.>REVERSE SWING IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE
iii.> YORKER - is the perfect WEAPON FOR SHOCKING A BATSMEN JUST TOSS THE BOWL NEAR THE LEG AND YOU MADE IT!
These technique will help you to bag some wickets....
ALL THE BEST YOUNG PLAYER!
Hey achal if you want to get control your line and length try to bowl slowly in nets don't try to bowl fast achieve your line length on your normal speed then build your speed and bowl fast try to bowl bouncers and yorkers it will give you confidence I am also a fast bowler and my speed is also good enough to my age I am 16yrs old and my speed is 130-135 with perfect line I tried that you should also try best of luck.

Hello Achal shah My name is gawain i am a medium pace bowler who some times gets to high 120s early 130s bowling i am not tall only 5 ft 6 but i have a smooth run up from walking start 17 paces the after 15 paces into a comfortable running speed. what i lack in height i generate in a good leap prior to back crease and bend my back and pitch full length balls new or old ball outside off stump.i am unsure of your height as your growing but you will adapt to different running styles in growth spurts. my advice to you is simplify everything find your endurance level maybe shorten your run up by 5 to 10 paces your natural running style will come into effect here. longer strides if tall or shorter strides if smaller . what ever your body condition is work with it.If the batsman are stroking the ball away with ease look at the deliveries you have bowled and if the shots are repeating then a adjustment of line length is important here DO NOT OVERTHINK. work your batsman out find his aggression or defensive traits by the ball your bowl.. outside off 4-8 inches is a wonderful line full or just length ball . try a scrambled seam as a change up same body action but seam side on pref do this post 15-20 overs as to not damage new ball.with your fingers either side of seam and thumb resting underneath there should be i fingers width of space between the ball and your palm while holding . this action with straight seam important. also flez wrst back as you deliver the ball focus your eye line down the wicket to off stump or outside off and follow through smooth .. let me know how you go or send me a video of you in the nets front on side on and from behind best of luck ))
