How do I get a good bowling action?

How do I get a good bowling action?

Hi there, I'm a right arm pacer, and I need a good bowling action. My current action is somewhat like Mitchell Starc's right hand alternative, but often my releasing way and jump changes, so how can I form a unique action for me?

Hi,

Every bowler has a unique action and certain things which work for them in their technique. To become more consistent on your release and delivery stride, you just need to keep practicing. When you`ve bowled a good ball, try to remember how it felt and you can then visualise this when running in to bowl future balls.

Well, this might sound weird, I did as you told, found the perfect run up length and speed, found out that I had to run a bit more faster, unlike Mitchell Starc and luckily I could review my bowling action through my CCTV, yeah, sounds weird, and found out that an action with a higher jump and bit steeper run up suited me.

Thanks a lot for the advice, Matt.
