The physical and mental fitness of a bowler is important.A kind of precision that can only come with dedicated practice is required for seaming a ball consistently well.Seam bowling is a type of fast bowling that can deliver a seam ball at a medium-pace.The technique of bowling the ball on its seam creates random deviations that make hitting it difficult for the bat.
Step 1: The cricket ball is in your possession.
You should have a good cricket ball for practice.If practicing with a non-regulation ball wasted your time, it would be a shame.
Step 2: Place your fingers close to the seam.
Your fingers should form a narrow V, with your middle finger on the other side of the seam.Your thumb should be in line with the path of the seam.The middle finger of your thumb should be used to balance the ball.
Step 3: Throw the ball in the air.
This is practice, so don't bowl yet.The only way to keep the seam steady is to toss the ball with only your wrist.Continue this practice until your seam is straight and natural.
Step 4: Attempt air bowling.
Lying on the ground, hold your ball in the V-grip position.In a controlled fashion, throw your ball into the air.A straight wrist that is kept behind the ball will help maintain the form you need for consistent seam bowling.
Step 5: Try the side on position with your seam ball.
Side on bowling is encouraged by many coaches.A bowler is considered to have a side on position when his or her back foot, chest, and hips are lined up towards the bat.If you want to keep the seam of your ball straight, start bowling at a slow to moderate pace while practicing in this position.
Step 6: In the "chest on" position is where the bowl will be.
The bowler needs to align his hips and chest towards the bat.Even if this isn't your coach's preferred approach to a swing, practicing your seam ball in a variety of ways will likely give you a better kinesthetic understanding.
Step 7: Put the ball in your hands according to your swing.
For a faster swing, you will want a more narrow grip between your forefinger and middle finger, with little space between these fingers and the seam of the ball.The slower the ball, the more space you have between your fore and middle finger.
Step 8: You should pitch the ball fast.
Seam bowling uses the quirks of a cricket ball to generate bounce and make the pitch more difficult to hit.Bowlers can reach speeds of up to 90 miles per hour.If you are just beginning to learn seam bowling, aim for a moderate-paced pitch and focus on technique.You can increase speed with more power if you are confident in your seam technique.
Step 9: Attempt to swing a bat.
If you shift your grip on the seam in such a way that your middle finger takes primary position, your forefinger will move farther off the side.When you bowl this way, the spin will cause the ball to swing in.
Step 10: Bowler an "out swinger."
The seam should be held in line with and on top of the forefinger.The middle finger should be away from the seam.The left side of the ball will spin away when you bowl this way.
Step 11: You can adjust your grip according to the style.
Though clean form and consistency will help you achieve results, there will be differences in body type and style that might necessitate you hold the ball in a fashion unique to yourself.When trying to find your ideal stance, don't be afraid to modify your style.
