Instructions

  2. 2Land the front foot pointing at the target with the knee firm, not collapsing.
  3. 3Pull the front arm down hard into the ribs as the bowling arm comes through.
  4. 4Finish with the chest over the front leg and follow through past the crease.

What to focus on

Front knee staying firm at foot strike.

Common mistake

Front knee buckling, which drops the release and sprays the length.
