Cricket Tips and Tricks for Perfect Pitching Cricket Tips and Tricks for Perfect Pitching If you are a cricketer and want to improve your bowling technique, especially with your pitching, then there are a few methods you can try. The line is one important consideration as this dictates how much room the batsman has to play with. As a bowler, you should ideally focus0 on bowling towards the off stump and really concentrate on bowling in the 'corridor of uncertainty'. This means that as long as you keep bowling in this region, you will always be putting pressure on the batsman to either play a shot or get caught, or if he misses then he will get bowled or caught behind. It is not easy to bowl a good line but this is something that can only developed with lots of practice. The length at which youCricket Tips bowl is also very important. Ideally a 'good length' is a delivery one which does not allow the batsman enough time to hit the ball for a big shot. It should not be too close to the bat but not too far away either, this means that when the ball bounces it can either turn, or pitch in whichever direction it is required to.
As a bowler you can use the length to your advantage by bowling a various line of deliveries to confuse the batsman. You may want to start with a few short balls followed by a full length delivery and hopefully either get a leg before wicket or bowl him. This is another thing that requires a great deal of practice and can only be achieved once you have absolutely full control of the ball. Remember, bowling isn't just about speed. If you are a fast bowler then in order to achieve optimum speed, you need to perfect your line and length first. This can take several years before you can confidently bowl at a quick pace, start off slowly perfecting your run up and building up the power gradually. If you want to look at good line and length then your best bet is to look at bowling legend who has been one of the finest examples of line and length bowling. Furthermore, don't forget to look at your run up and try to tweak this so you are confident of getting the right amount of pace and power in your follow through. Some of the world's best bowlers do this by counting the number of strides so they don't under or over stretch themselves.
