yup and sometimes bowling to much can cause you to pick up a bad habit, or accidently changed your action, you need breaks of 2 days or so, every couple of weeks imo

Fattus - when I initially read this I was thinking how complicated it must be for a spinner to get a simple, repeatable action, with a nice strong pivot - thinking it is so much easier being a medium pace dobber, then I re-read it and laughed (sorry) - I think what you need to do is get fit!

Reading between the lines, what I read your comment to say is... I rolled up to the net, was a bit stiff and didn't warm up properly so bowled pies, after a while I was loose and bowled well for a bit, then I got tired and my bowling went off the boil.

how about warming up before you start - bowl as much as possible to build up your stamina and think about doing some form of other mid week stamina training. I am sure Mrs Cattus would be happy to help (!)

Although I do like the meat pie idea and it is also definitely better not to think about it

Yeah some good drills being thrown out there and I fear Buzz may be right!

But for your action, just get someone, anyone, to watch you bowl like 12-18 deliveries, he'll notice one or two things your not doing consistently and then bowl while only thinking of them, so that your not over complicating anything just thinking of one or two things that aren't set in y0out muscle memory yet (I'm presuming that your normal action would be) that should help the action. Then again if what Buzz says Is true I'm sure there a gym somewhere in the close vicinity!! Get a personal trainer and he'll tell you all about the wonderful art of stretching

Guys, I'm fat - not stupid! I've been playing and netting for around 20 years, so I think I may have wised up to the whole warming up part by now!

Thanks for your patronising, if well intentioned advice - next time I need to determine my (No Swearing Please) from my elbow, I'll know which two guys to ask!!

However, Buzzy-poos you are half right, I think the fitness plays a part towards the end of the net session, so only vegetable pies and wobbly jogs from now on

i used to have this problem all the time!

now i dotn think about it i just try to get my front arm as high as i can and my action works fine now

so i focus on my arm high and then whip down on it as hard as i can and it enable me to bowl quick and accurately

Sorry I didn't mean to be patronising!!
I've been netting for 20odd years and still bowl pies!

Fattus - you didn't bowl pies when we did nets.....we'd already eaten them all before you got the chance!

Right Hoskoid - just because you are a prime hunk of beefcake, I think I'll show all you thin people - Ayrtek, BlackCat I'm looking at you! All you old people - Talisman, SAF Bats I'm looking at you! The pies are gone, the running has begun.

Then I shall become FittusCattus, and I shall open a whole new can of 'whuppass' on y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
