Hey guys, I wanted to ask a question about foot placement while bowling fast.
I usually bowl right-arm leg-spin when I play in the league matches here but I don't get a lot of turn anyways so I just end up bowling straight and kind of fast for a spinner.
So, I tried bowling fast since I figured I could generate a lot more pace with a run-up. Might as well do that If I am planning on bowling straight.
The problem is with my foot placement while I deliver the ball. Kind of like Sohail tanvir, I end up bowling on the wrong foot. I hate that.
It gets me all confused while the arm rotation is then limited in a way and the pace is reduced a lot.
Any suggestions?
I have a game this Sunday, and I wanna make it count.
Thanks.
 
Oh, didn't realize that.
Sorry about that.
If mods could just move it, it would be great.
It's something that can't change overnight. It will hv to take concentrated effort through targeted drills.

Now, that I think about it, and after watching some videos, I know what's the problem here.
It's more of a mental barrier rather than a technical one because I just realized that in an over, at least one or two deliveries I bowl, are technically perfect with the correct placement.
And yes, you are right. Practice would help.
