Murali Kartik : Effortless Skill
Hi Coach, I am Divyadarshi Nahak, I’m an off spinner and I can also bowl medium fast. It will be great of you if you can suggest a single but better action for both off spin and medium pace, I’m not so tall, just 5’6′ and now I’m 15 years old, please help me out of it.
Hi Divyadarshi, you already have a gift without realising it! Your medium pace action is your spin bowling action, you don’t change a thing.
Murali Kartik was a medium pacer and then began bowling spin. The foundation of his seamers action was the basis of his success as a left arm spinner. The flowing run up, the easy action and smooth follow through all came from bowling seam.
Read the Cricket Bowling Tips on spin bowling and concentrate on developing control of your stock ball.
This will allow you to control the game when you bowl, you’ll be able to build up pressure and wickets will come. At your age, keep it simple, forget about doosras and mystery balls, just master your stock ball,all else will follow naturally as you grow and gain more experience.
Don’t worry about your height, you still have many years of growing, spin bowling, it is about spin and skill.
Best Wishes Coach
