I am 15 years old and i can bowl 70mph...and have a max of about 72 mph...do you guys think you can look at my bowling action...and give me some tips to improve it.

I'm looking to be in the first XI team for my school next year...and any help will be appreciated...d[^_^]b
@runescapevids99able i agree im 12 and i had that last year but i had gone training at lancashire and changed my action, it can damage your back so change either your bottom half or top i recommend bottom.
REALLY dangerous head position on arm pull into action and spine position going into the front foot block... pls pls pls be VERY careful about this action. You don't want this lad picking up stress fractures.
action is ok, falls away to the left beacuse hes trying to bowl too fast, stay loose through the crese and bowl over your body and it was come out just as fast and you will get more movment
@Beamer22 - you are correct this kid does have an action like steyn, plus he has got a nice smooth action, and like ian pont advices has high knees and good hip drive , followed by a good follow through, this kid does show some potential ... all the best to him...
Thats Not Fast Im Only 14 and im playing 1st team premier league cricket and playing for dorset and hampshire and bowl mid 70s and you bowled a No Ball and it was down leg side which in my cricket woul be a wide.
@mokking95 ooh shiit!! ur a cock end, no gives a shit wot u think u do, fuck off!!! honestly tell me why u think anyone would gives a single shit about wot u just wrote, u are on ur own, wot is shit about cricket, cunts like you, so fucking sure and stuck up their own arse, that they have to tell everyone how they are better than the rest, fuck off u cunt, and go suck ur own cock, CUNT!!!
hardly likely to be a wide to a right handed batsman is it! it pretty much passed over the top of leg stump..considering the batsman stands about 4 feet in front of the stumps he would probably be playing it back down the pitch, or possibly through midwicket. hope you dont ever get asked to umpire!
you could try a straighter run-up because in this vid you are coming into the stumps so your body weight is going towards the legside and then your finding it hard to re-adjust to the offside although its a good action and looks decent pace, keep it goin =]
Your being to harsh on him so he bowls 1 bad ball you cant insult him for that i'm 13 and play for lancashire bowling leg spin and i'll tell you now that wernt too bad
love immitating dale steyn much? no joke it looks good but u wouldn't stand a chance in the world of cricket, u need a lil bounce mate all that effort for nothin....thats sloo..u should spin....and no way thats in the 70's am fifteen and i open agains grown men and no i don't stand a chance bowling 80's
Just stop the clip on release of the ball and see where your head and body weight goes. This should be a useful clue for you if you want to increase your speed.
60mph at absolute most we got a guy who opens for our first team and he clocks 79-84mph and looks ten times quicker than this dude. Only the top pro's in the world touch speeds nearer 90mph and a 13 yr old quicky at most maybe 55mph.
listen to me... i actually play a good standard of league cricket and play under 16s county level... thats about 70ish. not 75. i bowl about 75. you're bowling 69-71 at absolute full strain no balling massively and down leg. Thats about kent league 5th div or maybe 3rd second div. decent action but your small aswell.
Its easily the hardest job in cricket, and after 20 years your back is knackered, your knees are shot, and dibbly dobbly bowlers who just lob it up get all the wickets at grade/village level because the batsman's eyes light up,
Fast bowling is horribly unrewarding.
BUT ...you no balled here by about a yard. You were WAY over the line. If you don't sort out your run up you will get in all sorts of trouble. You'll end up looking at the line as you run in, stuttering and bowling junk.
no quicker than 70mph even below.... i faced greg smith who plays for derbyshire early in the year and he was bowling at around 80mph and i could hardly keep up with it
haha you are a complete idiot. when i was 13 i was recorded at 64 mph and i was the quickest bowler in my county team by miles. there is no way a 13 year old could have enough power in their upper body to bowl at the speeds you claim
you must of been bullyed as a kid to think you bowl 85 haha our 3 opening bowlers bowl low 80's for somerset under 17's and there 2 times as quick as that indoors you can barely see it
85mph for a 12 year old?? Never heard of that, mate.
I was in U-17 and club cricket for about 5 to 6 years, before settling down in Holland and the quickest I have seen anyone recorded was about 136 or 137 kph (85 mph). I myself was clocked 130-132 kph on avg. And we were certainly older than 12!
@grazzamon9 ino sorry mate i sum times only read bits of comments i read i bowl,88mph and im only eight untill i read it fully i realised u ment back to the future :L
@baillie2k9 full of shit why arnt u playing for england then i play in the e.a.p.l which is as close to being first class as u can get and the fastest i have seen is about 80mph at a push
@benbigheadacc93 who you play for? I play at Sudbury. You do get bowlers over 80 but very occasionally, there's probably only about 5 in the league. 1 of them plays for us and we get him back for the rest of the season next week. The annoying thing is that there are loads of batsmen capable of dealing with 80+mph!!
huge huge huge no ball. at colts level would be quite sharp otherwise, step across leg glance or rock back and pull it. But you'll get wickets at club level im sure.
ur all fucking retards whats wrong with that action works for him theres no modeld action every1 has a different one whatever works for u is best ...ur actions like dayle steyn
Stirlingsays You do know that to keep as much momentum as possible from the run up you're supposed to have minimal time in transferring your weight from the right to the left leg(if right handed). And to avoid losing forward momentum you're not supposed to have a high jump into your delivery stride :)
Lots of things right with this action. Good run up. Good 'hang time' or leap forward. Great finishing position and follow through. Elements to correct. You have a mixed action...you are chest on but your landing back leg points to the side. For a chest on action this needs to point towards the wicket or at least first slip. This slows you a marginal amount. Also you collapse a a little in your action which loses delivery power. All in all though a very good action. What's your pace?
Mid 60's.. Decent pace. Nice action

This is very true the faster bowlers tend to 'leap forward' more than jump up to any extent.
The exact extent of this transition stage has to depend upon the individual's ability to coordinate the rest of their action.
