  2. PACEBOWLING HYPEREXTENSION HYPEREXTENSION IS AN ARCHING OF THE SPINE BACKWARDS AT BACK FOOT LANDING, DURING THE DELIVERY STRIDE OR AT FRONT FOOT LANDING û û û û û û

  3. PACEBOWLING MIXEDALIGNMENT A MIXED ALIGNMENT AT BACK FOOT LANDING MEANS THAT SHOULDER DIRECTION DOES NOT CLOSELY MATCH HIP DIRECTION û û û û Shoulders side on Hips past side on Shoulders front on Hips side on Shoulders side on Hips front on At back foot landing, the hips and shoulders are facing in different directions

  4. PACEBOWLING BALL OUT IN FRONT û ü Ball out in front Shoulders open Ball in close Shoulders side on

  5. PACEBOWLING FULL FOLLOW THROUGH û ü MIXED Hips and shoulders not aligned IN POSTURE Hips and shoulders aligned

  6. ALIGNMENT AT BFL RELEASE FOLLOW THROUGH PACEBOWLING For the range of alignments from side on to front on, at back foot landing, shoulder direction should closely match hip direction For the range of alignments from side on to front on, at back foot landing, shoulder direction should closely match hip direction SIDE ON SEMI-OPEN FRONT ON Full shoulder and hip rotation Some shoulder and hip rotation Little shoulder and hip rotation Hips and shoulders rotate through different ranges (depending on initial alignment at back foot) to achieve a similar position at release All actions at release have similar alignment of hips and shoulders 1. Back knee drives through 2. Back hip rotates fully to point to the batsman 3. Bowling arm down and across body Movement continues towards the batsman to absorb forces generated during delivery In the follow through all actions should have full hip and shoulder rotation

  7. PACEBOWLING FRONT LEG COLLAPSE û ü • Low torso to thigh angle • Spine under stress • Less height and bounce • High torso to thigh angle • Safer • More height and bounce

  8. PACE BOWLING LOCK FRONT ELBOW EARLY û ü Left elbow still moving at FFI Right arm past horizontal at FFI Left elbow locked at FFI Right arm horizontal at FFI

  9. PACEBOWLING BACK LEG COLLAPSE û ü Back leg collapses Upper body falls away Back leg stabilises Push towards the target

  10. PACEBOWLING ALIGNED SET UP At back foot landing, the hips and shoulders are facing in the same direction ü ü ü ü Side on Semi open Front on

  11. ALIGNMENT AT BFL PACEBOWLING For the range of alignments from side on to front on, at back foot landing, shoulder direction should closely match hip direction For the range of alignments from side on to front on, at back foot landing, shoulder direction should closely match hip direction SIDE ON SEMI-OPEN FRONT ON Full shoulder and hip rotation Some shoulder and hip rotation Little shoulder and hip rotation

  13. PACEBOWLING BALL IN LINE WITH BATSMAN û ü • Ball away from body • Upper body falls away • Spine arches • Ball in close • Push towards the target • Balanced

  14. PACEBOWLING LEGS IN LINE WITH BATSMAN û ü Front leg across Spine arched Front leg at target Spine in posture

  15. ü ü ü ü Side on Semi open Front on PACEBOWLING ALIGNED SET UP At back foot landing, the hips and shoulders are facing in the same direction

  16. PACEBOWLING MIXED SET UP At back foot landing, the hips and shoulders are facing in different directions û û û û Hips past side on Shoulders side on Hips side on Shoulders open Hips front on Shoulders side on

  17. PACEBOWLING PUSH OUT OF BACK LEG û ü Back leg collapses Upper body falls away Back leg stabilises Push towards the target

  18. PACE BOWLING LOCK FRONT ELBOW EARLY û ü Left elbow still moving at FFI Right arm past horizontal at FFI Left elbow locked at FFI Right arm horizontal at FFI

  19. PACEBOWLING LOCK FRONT LEG û ü Front knee bends Loss of pace and height Front knee locks Maximum pace and height

  20. PACEBOWLING FULL FOLLOW THROUGH û ü MIXED Hips and shoulders not aligned IN POSTURE Hips and shoulders aligned
