1. Net practice: when you bowl in the nets its important for you to
run in and bowl quick, if you have real pace you need to learn to work
with your pace and bowl strategically at different batters. 2 x per week
for 5-6 over spell.
Technical Practice: Once or twice a week depending on your practice workload, fit in a technical session.
This will be 5-6 overs of target bowling, where you put a target down on a length, five full walking paces down the wicket on off stump.
Once you are warmed up, the goal is as many hits on your target in your 30-36 balls.
This will train your brain and body to focus on your stock length and learn to hit it repeatedly without the distraction of having a batter to focus on.
Keep a log of this so that you can monitor your improvement, make observations and set new goals.
Building your stamina: your body is still growing so its important not to overload it , you will improve your stamina by bowling in the nets and doing one technical session a week.
If you net once or twice a week in-season and bowl in club games this will be enough.
For off season training it will be worth joining a
gym, you can begin with Greg King’s conditioning
program so that you can start the process of getting stronger.
For running you can begin with 3km timed runs during the off season and build that up to 5km timed runs. Do this twice a week to get a cardio base as you move into pre-season nets.
