- Speed is not everything. Control is the key to good bowling. Make the ball do what you want.
- Keep the ball up. Overpitching is less of a crime than short pitching.
- Look after the ball. Agree with your bowling partner on which side of the ball you are going to maintain the shine.
- Mark you “take off” point. A consistent run promotes balance and rhythm.
- Picture your target area. Think in advance where you want to pitch the ball and focus on that area during run up and delivery.
- Encourage your fieldsmen. Never knock their efforts. Praise their work. They will respect and respond to your efforts.
- There are no good batsmen only good bowlers. The sooner you see a batsman’s back the better. Be positive.
- Do not indulge in silly appeals. Umpires are human too and soon tire of bowlers who constantly appeal in hopes of conning the umpire as much as any other reason.
- Keep your head up. Even when you are being hit maintain your cool. Control is the key. Don’t be afraid to try something different. Talk to your captain.
- Not every day can be perfect. There is always going to be a batsman about who wants to spoil it. Hang in. Work on maintaining technique. Bowl line and length and think. The tide will turn. Batsmen can’t last forever.
