But, as a bowler you can build a body that is designed for speed rather than the beach. If you are too skinny you need more muscle. If you are too overweight you need less fat. Whatever your body type, you can do with being stronger. This is because bowling speed is improved by putting power from your body into the ball. Power is strength times speed. So, the stronger you get with weights, the faster you get as a bowler. Raw strength is best developed in the gym with tradition methods like lifting up heavy weights.
Bodyweight training has a place but at some point you are going to need to squat, deadlift, press and pull weights. So, find a gym with good trainers who can show you the right way to lift heavy, then get to it.
Simply getting strong will make a huge lift to your speed, but to add even more kph's you can learn to transfer raw strength to bowling speed with specialised tools like kettlebells, weighted balls and medicine balls. These tools are heavier than a cricket ball, yet lighter than the free weights you find in the gym. That means they act as a bridge between the extremes of a kg front squat and bowling at kph.
Naturally, you can't just throw things around and hope for the best. You need to plan your training to peak at the start of the summer and maintain that standard throughout the season.
Lucky enough, Steffan Jones has plenty of advice for you. As you know from the technical tips above, when you bowl you stretch as much as you can because the greater the stretch the greater the reflex.
You can improve this stretch by improving the parts of your body that stretch. In fact, it's the case that the main difference between a "slingy" fast bowler and someone more orthodox is mobility in the t-spine. It's impossible to be too mobile in these areas whatever your action, so you can work on mobility every day if you are especially weak in these areas.
It only takes a few minutes a day to do mobilisations. You can do them as part of your usual warm up for games, gym or training. And you can do them at home as no equipment is required. If you take the time you will find that over the period of a few weeks you can stretch further than before, grab those sight screens and get into better positions.
That means more speed. If you doubt your ability to outsmart the batsman, there's more of a chance that you'll come up short. Have fun. Method 4. Increase your endurance with cardio exercises.
Aim to get minutes of moderate cardio, or 75 minutes of vigorous cardio, per week. Do weight training to increase your strength. In addition to getting aerobic exercise, you should also work out all of your major muscle groups twice per week or more. Increasing your muscle strength will help you be a good bowler. Eat a healthy diet. To stay healthy and fit, aim to eat a diet comprised of a variety of healthy foods. The majority of your diet should include lean protein, fresh fruits and vegetables, and complex carbohydrates.
Limit your intake of processed foods, items containing saturated fats, and sugar. Aim to drink Bowling Exercises Fast Bowling Tips. Exercises to Improve Fast Bowling Skills. I am a fast bowler. But I cannot pitch the ball where I wish. Why is this so and how can I improve it? You can try focusing on the point you want to bowl. If you wish to bowl a yorker, look at the batsman's toes during your run-up.
This might help you. Not Helpful Helpful Yes you can increase it by increasing your stamina and run up. Increase the strength in your muscles also. Count the steps from the bowling crease to the run up mark. Then, start your run up and count the number of steps you have taken. Do this frequently and your run up will be smooth. Take some deep breaths at the start of your run-up: doing so should help clear your mind.
If you are new, take a short run-up. Run-up straight and fast. During run-up gradually increase your speed. Then, if you are a right-handed bowler, jump with your left leg and land on your right and then place the left leg far front and as straight as you can.
Then, rotate your arm and just at the point of release, flick the bowl straight with both fingers in alignment. After this, you can flick the bowl sideways to get swing. But for now, try to increase your pace as much as you can because swinging the ball often results in lessening of pace.
And remember to appreciate yourself Seriously, it helps. Not Helpful 40 Helpful Achieving that kind of speed takes years and years of hard work. Many professional bowlers with speeds above kph have been playing for at least a decade, if not longer. However, refining your technique and developing greater upper body strength will also help you bowl faster in the short term.
Not Helpful 17 Helpful Try flicking your wrist downward as you bowl the ball and keep practicing that. Keep a coach or someone knowledgeable beside you to guide you through the steps. I have perfect bowling. How do I increase my strength to bowl with better speed? Do a daily walk, run or jog and do warm ups. Do some regular weightlifting and stretches. But whatever method I use, I cannot get a good pace.
What should I do? It's all about rhythm and angles, as well as staying fit and getting your body to click. There are certain things that will come naturally——your general coordination, for instance, and snapping your wrist at the point of delivery. Deep down, bowling fast is something you have to want to do with a passion, because it's very hard work. Something about your run up may be interfering with your delivery. Try shortening or slowing down your run up and sink your weight once you're ready to bowl.
This will give you a more stable base to throw from, which can help improve your speed and power. Not Helpful 13 Helpful Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered. Admission time. I was scared of fast bowling. Or to be more precise, I was scared of being hurt by fast bowling. I spent night after night worrying about it before matches I am pretty sure many other batsmen had similar feelings, but I am not sure how many would ever want to admit it.
But Smith did more than just cope. He relished it. Thrived on it even. How did he do it? For a while after that I was very apprehensive. Smith also eventually got seriously hurt, a brute of a delivery from West Indian fast bowler Ian Bishop breaking his jawbone and fracturing his left eye socket during a Test at Old Trafford in It affected him.
He was put in touch with a young hypnotist by the name of Paul McKenna. Afterwards I had a training session with Geoffrey Boycott and he had Paul Jarvis bombard me from 17 yards and I felt absolutely fine. The first ball Smith faced after being hit by Bishop was from Shaun Pollock. The hypnotism certainly worked for me. So what about the impact on the bowlers? The first time I hit someone I was a teenager playing a club match in Guyana and it really threw me off.
It was shattering to see an opposition batsman bleeding. The sense that causing damage to batsmen is a by-product of the business they are in, rather than the intention, is shared by bowlers as feared as Dennis Lillee, Mitchell Johnson and Steve Harmison. Harmison struck Langer, Hayden and most memorably Ponting on the first morning of the Ashes.
Harmison, like Bishop, speaks of having to get accustomed to hitting batsmen. That affected me, he was hurt.
It stayed with me, that one, but I was a lot younger.
