The influence of technique and physical capacity on ball release speed in cricket fast-bowling

Abstract: This study examined the relationships between physical capacity, bowling technique and ball speed in high-level cricketers. Kinetic, kinematic and temporal aspects of bowling technique were threedimensionally analysed in 20 fast-bowlers (professional n=4, elite academy n=9 and state premier cricket n=7). Physical capacity measures included 30 m sprint, vertical jump, isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), bench pull and 2 km running time-trial. Correlations revealed technique factors associated with ball speed were;… Show more

“…Fast bowlers and their coaches consistently seek enhanced ball release speeds via more effective biomechanical bowling actions. [1,2] For right-handed bowlers, this action consists of a run up to the bowling crease followed by landing on the right foot (referred to as back foot contact), stepping onto the left foot (front foot contact), and delivering the ball with the right hand (ball release) before following through onto the right foot again (follow through ground contact). The opposite is true for left-handed bowlers.…”
