Accuracy

Hi,
At the moment I am slightly struggling with my accuracy, how can I improve my accuracy with advanced biomechanics applied mentioned by Ian Pont. What shall I do to improve my accuracy, shall I use my hips, shoulders etc. It would me really helpful if you could give me any tips.
Thanks

Re: Accuracy

I don't think accuracy comes from your action alone, if you're nice and straight, with a straight run-up and bowling with straight lines, the ball will go where you want it to go. Then the key I think is looking exactly where you want to bowl, if you stare at that 1 spot then it's very easy to hit it and it's really helped with my accuracy. I've really thought about the spot i want to bowl on in the last 2 games, and i've bowled 14 overs in 2 games, whereas i was lucky to get 5 a game before, my last game i finished with figures of 6 overs, 1 maiden for 12 runs. Just focus on the exact part of the pitch you want to pitch the ball, and if your action is good enough then it'll more or less hit that spot.

Re: Accuracy

yeah, straight lines are the way to go. on top of that, you guessed it, practice! target games like cricket snooker are good.
