Bowling

Basic Technique:

The fundamentals that every fast bowler must possess are a correct grip, a smooth efficient run - up, a well balanced rhythmical delivery stride, a high delivery action and a deliberate and smooth follow through.

Grip:

The ball should be held in the fingers and must not touch the palm of the hand. The basic grip for any fast or medium pace bowler is placing the index finger on the left side of the seam and the middle finger is placed on the right side of the seam, which is upright.
The thumb is placed directly underneath it with the ball resting on it lightly but not gripped tightly. The pressure of the finger on the ball should be just firm, not too tightly that it releases late from the hand. The fingers must feel like the extension of the wrist holding the ball. Various grips to bowl different types of balls are given in the next section.
