Any Medium pace bowlers?
I started back at cricket after 7 years (moved away from my local club and didn't want to play for anything else) and they called me up as they were short players for the season. I used too bowl pretty quick inswing and took the bowling averages several years.
I came back and bowled as I always did, same run up, same action and same releases yet everything I bowl is down leg, I simply can not get the ball to land on the off side, unless of course I take a 2 step run up and focus it down the off side. I also experience quite a bit of pain in my back and shoulders while bowling.
I was wondering, if I switched to a front-on instead of side-on, is it possible this is the more accurate and less back intense action? Will front-on damage my ability to inswing the ball? I don't have a full wicket to practice at my house but enough room for my run up and gather and the front on seems less sore.
I have 3 nights of practice before the next match so would love to get some advice before I meet up with the team again.
