Bowling Jump to Section 1. Bowling Grip Introduction : Coaching Points Bowling Like many of the other areas of cricket, bowling requires patience and discipline. Cricket can be very much like a game of chess - not everything happens at once, it can be a tactical game and the bowlers can dictate the way the result turns out. It is crucial to the team that the bowler has a plan when he/she bowls. If your bowling is inconsistent then your team captain will have a tough job making sure the fielders are in the right positions for the shots the batsmen will play. There are many different ways to bowl (Pace Bowling, Off-Spin, Leg Spin etc) and these will be discussed below. No matter what action you have, here are some tips that might help you: Rhythm: If you watch the professionals will see that they have the same run up (approach) to the wicket for every ball. Consistency: Maintain a good bowling action. Try to bowl your action every ball - you are more likely to make mistakes if you vary your action through frustration. Bowling Line: Look to bowl a good bowling line. Bowling at middle stump may not always get you the best results. Look for ways in out-thinking the batsman and making him/her make a mistake. These techniques are described below. You will see that all the bowling images show a right- handed bowler. If you are a left-handed bowler you will adjust your action accordingly. If you need help with this then please ask one of the coaching team to demonstrate for you. Jump to Section Bowling Grip Basic Bowling Action Bowling Action Off-Spin/Left Arm Orthodox Leg-Spin/Chinaman Buzzwords 1. Bowling Grip Introduction : This is the bowling grip for a medium or quicker paced bowler. Coaching Points: The seam should be vertical, the side of the thumb on the underneath of the ball, resting on the seam. The index (first) and middle fingers on either side of the seam, as shown. Don't grip the ball in the palm of your hand, but fairly loosely as pictured here. Back to top 2. Basic Bowling Action Introduction : The bowling action is the sequence of movements which take place just before and just after the ball is bowled. The images on the left show you the basic bowling action, with no run up, but simply from a standing position. Coaching Points: Your back foot should be parallel to the bowling crease. Your front foot should be pointing forward towards the target with a comfortable stride. Your hips and shoulders should be in line with your body weight going slightly forward. Your Target Arm should be up and in line with the target. Your bowling arm should be up in front of your face. You should have the ball in the bowling grip illustrated above, with your wrist directly behind the ball. In the bowling action, your target arm pushers out towards the target. Your bowling arm pushes out and down, there should be a full arm swing and shoulder rotation. The back leg steps through. Importantly, keep your head steady throughout and keep looking at the target. Your arm must be straight at the point of delivery. Back to top 3. Bowling Action Introduction : These illustrations show you the bowling position. It is important to remember that whether you bowl side on or chest on that either are fine. Coaching Points: Your hips and shoulders MUST be in line. Please seek advice from the coaching team if you are unsure. Back to top 4. Off-Spin/Left Arm Orthodox Introduction : For the right-handed bowler, the Off-Spin delivery spins from a right-handers off-side to leg-side. For a left-handed bowler, the ball will spin from the batsman’s leg-side to off-side. A left-handed Off-Spin bowler bowls a ball called Left Arm Orthodox. Coaching Points: Grip of the ball is the important factor. Hold the ball across the seam under your index and second fingers. Spin is created as you roll the ball out of your hand, using your thumb. The aim is to bowl the ball in a way that it hits the seam and then spins as described in this introduction. You should aim to get extra spin by rotating the shoulders and following through with the back leg. Keep your head up and your eyes on the target. Back to top 5. Leg-Spin/Chinaman Introduction : For the right-handed bowler, the Leg-Spin delivery spins from a right-handers leg-side to off-side. For a left-handed bowler, the ball will spin from the batsman’s off-side to leg-side. A left-handed Leg-Spin bowler bowls a ball called a Chinaman. Coaching Points: Grip of the ball is the important factor. Hold the ball with your first three fingers as shown. Spin is created as you roll the ball out of your hand. The ball should come out of the side of the hand. You should aim to get extra spin by rotating the shoulders and following through with the back leg. Keep your head up and your eyes on the target. Back to top Buzz Words to Remember Target Arm: Your target arm is your non-bowling arm. Side On: This is the position the body is in on release of the ball. You should be able to see behind your target arm. Chest On: This is the position the body is in on release of the ball. You should be able to see in front of your target arm .

  • The Swing of a Cricket Ball
    SCIENCE BEHIND REVERSE SWING C.P.VINOD CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory Pune BACKGROUND INFORMATION • Swing bowling is a skill in cricket that bowlers use to get a batsmen out. • It involves bowling a ball in such a way that it curves or ‘swings’ in the air. • The process that causes this ball to swing can be explained through aerodynamics. Dynamics is the study of the cause of the motion and changes in motion Aerodynamics is a branch of Dynamics which studies the motion of air particularly when it interacts with a moving object There are basically four factors that govern swing of the cricket ball: Seam Asymmetry in ball due to uneven tear Speed Bowling Action Seam of cricket ball Asymmetry in ball due to uneven tear Cricket ball is made from a core of cork, which is layered with tightly wound string, and covered by a leather case with a slightly raised sewn seam Dimensions- Weight: 155.9 and 163.0 g 224 and 229 mm in circumference Speed Fast bowler between 130 to 160 KPH THE BOUNDARY LAYER • When a sphere travels through air, the air will be forced to negotiate a path around the ball • The Boundary Layer is defined as the small layer of air that is in contact with the surface of a projectile as it moves through the air • Initially the air that hits the front of the ball will stick to the ball and accelerate in order to obtain the balls velocity. • In doing so it applies pressure (Force) in the opposite direction to the balls velocity by NIII Law, this is known as a Drag Force.

  • Contributions to an Anthropological Approach to the Cultural Adaptation of Migrant Agents
    Contributions to an Anthropological Approach to the Cultural Adaptation of Migrant Agents Rafael Heitor Bordini A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London. Department of Computer Science University College London 1999 Abstract This thesis proposes the use of Cultural Anthropology as a source of inspiration for solutions to the problem of adaptation of autonomous, intelligent, computational agents that migrate to societies of agents with distinctive features from the ones of the society where those agents were originally conceived. This has implications for interoperation of disparate Multi-Agent Systems. In particular, the cognitive approach to anthropology is argued to be a suitable theoretical foun­ dation for this topic. Fieldwork practice in social anthropology is also indicated as an useful source of ideas. A pragmatic theory of intensionality is incorporated in this anthropological approach, resulting in a mechanism that allows agents to ascribe intensional ontologies of terms to societies that use unfamiliar means of communication; also, taxonomical relations among the terms in such ontologies can be retrieved, by means of a process inspired by the counterpart activity of ethnographers. This is presented using the Z notation for formal specification of systems, and illustrated on a set of terms from the game of cricket. Subsequently, a simulation of a game of cricket is described where one of the players is unfamiliar with the game, and therefore needs to learn the game by observing the other players. A reasonable behaviour for such a player is obtained, and the simulation offers grounds for further anthropologically-based studies.

  • Cricket Injuries
    CRICKET INJURIES Cricket can lead to injuries similar to those seen in other sports which involve running, throwing or being hit by a hard object. However, there are some injuries to look out for especially in cricket players. Low Back Injuries A pace bowler can develop a stress fracture in the back. This can develop in the area of the vertebra called the pars interarticularis (“pars”) in players aged 12- 21. Parsstress fractures are thought to be caused by repetitive hyper-extension and rotation of the spine that can occur in fast bowling. The most common site is at the level of the 5th lumbar vertebra (L5). Risk Factors Factors in bowling technique that are thought to increase the risk of getting a pars stress fracture are: • Posture of the shoulders and hips when the back foot hits the ground: completely side-on and semi-open bowling actions are the safest. A mixed action (hips side-on and shoulders front-on or vice versa) increases the risk of injury. Interestingly, recent research is suggesting the completely front-on action may be unsafe as rotation of the spine tends to occur in the action following back foot impact. Up until now, front-on was thought to be the safest. • Change in the alignment of the shoulders or of the hips during the delivery stride. • Extended front knee at front foot contact with the ground. • Higher ball release height. The other general risk factor for injuries in bowlers is high bowling workload: consecutive days bowling and high number of bowling sessions per week.

Ferdinands 2 1 Smart Products Engineering Program, Centre for Design Innovation, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne 3122, Australia; [email protected] 2 Department of Exercise and Sports Science, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney, Sydney 2141, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-3-9214-6882 † Presented at the 13th conference of the International Sports Engineering Association, Online, 22–26 June 2020. Published: 15 June 2020 Abstract: Profiling of spin bowlers is currently based on the assessment of translational velocity and spin rate (angular velocity). If two spin bowlers impart the same spin rate on the ball, but bowler A generates more spin rate than bowler B, then bowler A has a higher chance to be drafted, although bowler B has the potential to achieve the same spin rate, if the losses are minimized (e.g., by optimizing the bowler’s kinematics through training). We used a smart cricket ball for determining the spin rate and torque imparted on the ball at a high sampling frequency. The ratio of peak torque to maximum spin rate times 100 was used for determining the ‘spin bowling potential’. A ratio of greater than 1 has more potential to improve the spin rate. The spin bowling potential ranged from 0.77 to 1.42. Comparatively, the bowling potential in fast bowlers ranged from 1.46 to 1.95. Keywords: cricket; smart cricket ball; profiling; performance; skill; spin rate; torque; bowling potential 1.

  • FACT SHEET - DAY 1 LIBRARY Beginning with the Inaugural Test Match in March 1877, 107 Tests Have Been Staged at the MCG
    AUSTRALIA V. WEST INDIES DECEMBER 26, 2015 BOXING DAY TEST FACT SHEET - DAY 1 LIBRARY Beginning with the inaugural Test match in March 1877, 107 Tests have been staged at the MCG. One Test, in 1970/71, was abandoned without a ball bowled and is not counted in the records. Fourteen of the matches have involved West Indies, Australia winning 10 of those contests, West Indies three, with the other drawn. The other sides to play Tests at the MCG are England (55), India (12), South Africa (12), Pakistan (9), New Zealand (3) and Sri Lanka (2). Only Lord's Cricket Ground (130) has hosted more Test matches than the MCG. As Lord's currently has two Test matches per summer (it hosted three in 2010), it will extend its lead as the MCG has not hosted two Test matches in the same season since 1981/82. Of the 114 Tests between Australia and West Indies to date, Australia has won 57, West Indies 32, one has been tied and the remaining 24 drawn. The current Test is Australia's 785th and West Indies’ 512th. Of its 784 Tests to date, Australia has won 363 (46.30 per cent), lost 205 (26.14 per cent) and tied two. The remaining 202 have been drawn. The fact sheets for today's game will review the inaugural five-Test series between the two countries, the first match beginning at Adelaide Oval on 18 December 1930, 85 years ago, almost to the day. A summary of each match will appear during the course of this game, beginning with the First Test on today's sheet, followed by each of the remaining games in sequence on the sheets for subsequent days.

  • Measuring Spin Characteristics of a Cricket Ball
    12:00-12:15 pm Aaron J. Beach. Measuring spin characteristics of a cricket ball. (230) MEASURING SPIN CHARACTERISTICS OF A CRICKET BALL Aaron Beach, René Ferdinands and Peter Sinclair Exercise and Sport Science, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney, Sydney Australia The purpose of this paper is to outline an experimental procedure for measuring the spin rate and direction of spin axis of a cricket ball in flight. While the spin rate and horizontal direction of the spin axis are important for deviation upon impact with the ground, the lateral movement of the ball in the air requires a vertical elevation angle of the ball’s spin axis. Using three markers on the ball, a 3D Cortex motion analysis system was used to measure the vertical and horizontal components of the spin axis from six deliveries of ten bowlers of varying playing levels. Software was programmed to graphically display the magnitude and direction of the ball spin during the live capture, making it a potentially valuable performance analysis tool. The results show that bowlers had substantial differences in spin rate and spin axis orientation depending on their playing level. KEY WORDS: cricket, spin bowling, spin, flight, swerve. INTRODUCTION: In contrast to the athleticism of fast bowling in cricket, spin bowling is a more tactical and deceptive art. While spin bowlers generally aim to deceive batsmen by causing the ball to alter the direction of its bounce off the ground, another effective tactic is to make the ball deviate from its natural projectile motion during its flight. Two factors are commonly associated with the ball’s flight, often referred to as dip and drift.
