  • Biomechanics in Testing the Legality of a Bowling Action in Cricket
    BIOMECHANICS IN TESTING THE LEGALITY OF A BOWLING ACTION IN CRICKET David Lloyd, Jacque Alderson and Bruce Elliott Department of Human Movement and Exercise Science The University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia Movement analysis in sport and leisure is clearly the domain of the sports biomechanist. Technique modifications to improve performance or reduce the incidence of injury are currently administered. However, the analysis of sporting movements, from a legal perspective, is a more recent development. This paper discusses the procedures used in testing the legality of actions used in bowling in cricket. KEY WORDS: motion analysis, cricket, Vicon INTRODUCTION: The current no ball law in cricket with reference to throwing states: “the arm should not be straightened in the part of the delivery that immediately precedes ball release” The sport biomechanist in assessing the legality of a bowling action must first decide on the design of the analysis protocol. Questions that need to be answered before deciding on this protocol are: Is movement analysed in a laboratory setting representative of what occurs in the game environment? Also, are athletes capable of changing their action to comply with regulations when being filmed in a laboratory environment? Does the lack of accuracy in determining joint centres under baggy clothing worn in match conditions, lead to uncertainty about the error in the collected data? The laws of the game must also be read from both a “spirit of the game” and a biomechanical perspective. In fast bowling the phrase “immediately before delivery” must be interpreted from both those perspectives. This paper will show how the Sri Lankin spin bowler Muttiah Muralitharan on being “called for throwing” was analysed within the biomechanics laboratory of the Department of Human Movement and Exercise Science.

  • The Kinematics of Batting Against Fast Bowling in Cricket
    THE KINEMATICS OF BATTING AGAINST FAST BOWLING IN CRICKET by CHRIS PEPLOE A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University July 2016 © by Chris Peploe, 2016. ABSTRACT In cricket, batting against a fast bowler is thought to be one of the most challenging tasks a player must undertake. Despite this, minimal research exists investigating the techniques used by batsmen, with the majority of research focussed on injury mechanisms and pace generation in fast bowlers. The aim of this study was to investigate the techniques used by elite and amateur batsmen in a training environment, such that key aspects of batting technique relating to success could be extracted, and recommendations for future coaching practice and player development could be made. A novel methodology was developed for the collection of full body three-dimensional kinematic data of cricket batsmen in a realistic training environment. Kinematic and high-speed video (250 Hz) data were collected for 31 batsmen, and a three-dimensional full body biomechanical model was developed. Batsmen performed forward drive and pull shots against different delivery methods. Key events and kinematic parameters were defined, and used to produce detailed biomechanical descriptions of the forward drive and pull shots. A curve fitting methodology was developed and validated to determine the impact location of the ball on the bat face, and used to investigate the effects of impact location on shot outcome during a range hitting task. Impacts further from the sweetspot were found to generate lower ball speeds and decrease shot accuracy through bat twist.

  • MCC Bob Simpson
    Bob Simpson 1936 - present • Born and brought up in Marrickville • Still lives in Sydney • Played at Marrickville and Petersham Ovals • Legendary opening batsman, slips fielder, leg spin bowler • 62 Tests for Australia, 39 as Captain, scoring 4,869 runs (average 46.81), with 10 centuries and a top score of 311 • 71 Test wickets and 110 catches (mostly at first slip) • 257 first class games (Australia, NSW & WA) scoring 21,029 runs, 60 centuries and a top score of 359 One of Australia’s finest opening batsmen and most brilliant slip fielders, Bob Simpson was a product of the Marrickville District Cricket Club. Simpson aged 16 Bobby first played in Marrickville’s AW Green Shield U16 team as a 13 year old in 1949-50. Two years later in the 3rd Grade team of the newly created Petersham-Marrickville DCC Bobby impressed selectors with 219 runs he scored after just a few matches and they promoted him directly into the 1st XI shortly after his 16th birthday. That same season, Simpson hit 627 runs in the AW Green Shield competition which included scores of 181 not out, 153 not out and 130 not out for a batting average of 156.70. He also took 28 wickets with his leg spinners at an average of 11.67. While the team finished the season as runner-up to Gordon, the Poidevin- Gray U21 side won the competition due in no small manner to Bob’s 172 runs with a top score of 52 and his 14 wickets at 13.14. The next season, 1952-53, State selectors took particular note of Bob’s 1st Grade performances and after his 58 not out and 6 for 68 against Central Cumberland followed by 71 against Balmain, he was called into the NSW Sheffield Shield team.

The Crazy Catch net is placed in front of the stumps about 5 metres out and the adjustable bar extended fully to create a 90 degree angle. The wicket-keeper SET UP DIAGRAM: is positioned close up behind the stumps facing the Crazy Catch set on the SANE side COACH with the INSANE side therefore lying flat on the ground. For the progressions Chris uses a flexi stump set with slates to provide deflections and distractions. ACTIVITY: The coach or feeder stands just off the should of the wicket-keeper demonstrating the correct posture and starting position (see coaching points) either on the offside or leg side and feeds the ball onto the sane side of the Crazy Catch. The wicket- WICKET keeper is looking to collect the incoming ball and take the bails off quickly in one KEEPER fluid movement, ready for the next ball in. TOP TIPS: As a wicket keeper you should always look to take the bails in any drill or practice situation so it becomes second nature.
