That was just the first image I found on google that showed what I meant.
I probably take most of my technical stuff from Cummins and Starc (even though he’s left handed). They both have really nice, rhythmical bowling actions.

Yes Cody you need to follow thru well past the crease to generate some pace. And not only your bowling arm is going nowhere but your left arm needs to be more elevated to give you better balance. If I was you watch Josh Hazlewood more than the other pair as in my opinion he has the best action and takes less out of himself. Note his wrist position before release which gives him maximum seam movement. There is a reason he has remained Australias premier seam bowler for the past decade. Also watch old footage of Glenn McGrath. He is our best ever with Josh the best since him imho.

Yeah I’d been working on my front arm and load up but they really reverted back for that game annoyingly.
I’ve had a consistent problem with my front arm being lazy but I’ve been getting better. I’ve also been trying to get my load up in front of my eye line more, because my elbow starts behind my shoulders which is very bad for getting a good arm arc.

I have a list of issue I keep:
1. Front arm higher and stronger
2. Bowling arm in front of eyes in load up
3. Power through back leg
4. Higher knees in jump and gather (not a higher jump in general)
5. Try to get more side on (this one isn’t a major concern as plenty of bowlers bowl semi-side on)

Seems you are taking special care of the technical side. So no need for any more advice from me.
My issue isn’t identifying the issues, it’s actually fixing them.
You told me you are new to pace bowling so early days yet. Stay patient.
Drop me the link Cory.

Sorry mate, Cody.
Haha all good mate, figured it was probably just a typo given R is right above D on the keyboard
Bowled too short, both wickets were mistimed to square leg
Definitely threatened when I did pitch it up though, just got to work on bowling too short.
Also this match is on Astro.
I meant astroturf, aka synthetic wicket.
Bowled 3 at the death after dislocating my ring finger on my bowling hand, took another 1-14. They needed 6 an over. Had an easy dropped catch catch in the 2nd over. Finished with 3-42(8), pretty happy but still lost.
Dislocated my finger off an outfield catching chance that I only just got my finger to.
Did some one put it back in for you. That injury will likely rule you out of tomorrows game.
Yeah the guy I dropped put in back in for me
.I messaged the coach for colts and he’s said I can bowl but otherwise sit off the field if I’m not.
While I was following you I was watching a Hussey Shield (17 yr) 50 over red ball match between Scarborough and Willeton. I was specially impressed by a Scarborough kid named Gurarg? Sidhu. He is an accurate left arm pacer (3w) and r/h bat (110*), with exceptional timing and if I am any kinda judge he will go places.
