Hi, Vysalganesh, I don't believe there is a 'correct' weight to be. In village cricket here in England we have bowlers of all shapes and sizes who are all very effective and take wickets.

You mention about putting some extra weight on, this could be effecting your action - how far your body rotates, perhaps - and where you release the ball.

I always think that if something is not working in your bowling it is because you are forgetting the basics: a smooth run-up and action and concentrating on landing the ball.

Try going back in the nets and trying some of these bowling drills.
