Can you survive an over from this young gun?

and u/13 Geelong Cricket Association representative player Lucie.

Today’s session focussed on:

1. Elbow to hip and hand to shoulder, arms pumping in the run up - generating energy forwards.

2. High front arm upon release, pulling through torso generating more pace and bounce.

Bowling - Oscar, Jan Juc u/13 allrounder

Oscar is a quality young bowler, although required assistance with his run up and accuracy.

Three simple steps to help with pace and accuracy.

1. Run up: Bowler jogs from the crease line with full strides and stop when ball release is most comfortable. A cone is placed on the exact step of delivery. Repeat until best comfortable run up is found. This ensures a balanced full stride run up to ‘iron out’ skipping.

2. Approach: Chest upright, elbows pumping tucked into hip ensures energy is transferred straight towards the target.

3. Release: High front elbow, pulling down resulting in a quicker release and more pace. Braced front leg assists in managing back strain.

Oscar u/13 all rounder.

Quality hard-hitting left hander. Very strong cover drive, cut and pull shots.

The goal for Oscar is to focus on soft hands when the ball angles in towards the stumps, as well as leaving the ball where there is a high chance of nicking for an easy keeper catch.

I challenged him further by coming around the wicket. Right arm around the wicket will always be a left hander’s greatest challenge.

The challenge in the second half of the video is for the batsmen to keep the ball in their third of the pitch, covering the ball to nullify catches in the ring.

First session with

Tom already came with a steady approach and a comfortable action.

We started to focus on utilising his natural levers, being a tall bowler over 6ft and increasing his pace and bounce.

1. Arms pumping: elbows to hips, and ball to shoulder when approaching the crease (similar to Mitchell Starc).

2. We focussed on getting the front arm up high, and using it as a lever to generate more pace through the crease, likening the body as a catapult.

The cones help with transitioning energy straight towards the target, as well as the follow through to minimise back strain.

I look forward to seeing Tom’s progress this season.
