Analysis

Through analysis of the footage below, I have made several conclusions:-
i) I must be straighter at delivery, through the torso and head
ii) I need to smooth out my run-up
iii) I have to keep my bowling arm at "12 o'clock" at the wind up, and at "10:30-11 o'clock" at delivery
iv) I have to keep my wrist cocked more, as well as flicking it hard, to boost my accuracy as well as swinging the ball.

Also, through some research conducted, i have found many parallels between myself and the former great South African quick Allan Donald. We have very similar actions, run ups, we are both naturally geared to bowl inswing, with occasional outswing, and slmost identical body orientations, and through my research, we have VERY similar attitudes to fast bowling: Bowl as fast as possible, pitch up mostly, drop in a few bouncers, take responsibility and try to lead whatever attack we are placed in. In short, we are both highly aggressive bowlers, who enjoy bowling quick.
