by the way i was wanting to know for a leg-spinner becuase i am a leg-spinner how far infront of the batsmans stumps should i put a hoolahoop to aim at and should the line be about middle/ leg for a big spinning leg spinner. and im not boasting but i can bowl a doosra and i can bowl like murali without a bent arm.
hi ian i like cricket so much i'm a fast bowler at pannal and not boasting but people say i'm fast but only thing is im quite small for my age i bought ur book last year and u said every realy fast bowler has a good chest drive which is true but i don't understand how to do 1 or teach myself how to do it. in ur book u said put ur hand under a door frame + lean formward. no offence but it hasn't made me faster. and i dont understand how to do one or teach myself how to do 1 please respond. thanks
The chest drive drill is exactly that - a drill. It helps your body to 'understand' how to get into the correct position before letting the ball go. It is also an arm pull drill combined and assists with getting something called a 'stretch reflex' that is at the heart of a power blast for bowlers, and javelin/baseball throwers. Don't expect the drill to magically make you faster. What it does is engage your major muscles groups and core (hips and hip flexors) ahead of you letting the ball go.
notice dale steyn's not very big or muscular but he's loaded with fast twitch fibres which is where a lot of his pace comes from so what sort of training can i do to increase the number or fast twitch fibres in my chest arms and particually my shoulders?
