To get your bowlers back in the groove this week we start with a stretching and bowling warm up before gradually upping the difficulty, challenging your players to accurately hit a target. By improving your players' line of bowling and ability to aim at one side of the wicket you'll be making it easier for your captain to set a field.
We aim to keep things simple as we re-introduce players to bowling outside. However, you shouldn't completely ignore technique which is why we also aim to give your seamers some important tips to put them in good stead - such as keep your run up and follow through straight and look at how to correct players' technique if they're bowling too far down the off side or leg side.
