AGENDA
• Review of cricket as a game
• Types of bowling
• Technical components
• Practical components• Practical components
WHAT IS CRICKET ?
• Bat-and-ball
• Non contact & team sport
• First documented southern
England in the 16th centuryEngland in the 16th century
• International Governing Body –
International Cricket Council
(ICC)
• 104 countries as members
WHAT IS CRICKET ? (CONT’D)
• It is played on a cricket
ground with a pitch at the
center
• Two teams with eleven • Two teams with eleven
players each
• One team bats with two
players across the pitch
• Other team bowls and fields
FACTS…
• First International game documented
- In 1844
- United States Vs Canada
- At St. George’s Park- At St. George’s Park
- Canada won
BOWLING CLASSIFICATION
1. Fast arm bowler
2. Spin bowler
BOWLING CLASSIFICATION
1. Fast arm bowler
2. Spin bowler
PHASES OF FAST ARM BOWLING
TECHNICAL COMPONENTS
FLOW CHART
MECHANICAL OBJECTIVE
• Bowl at maximum speed
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES
• Momentum, strength and arm force
MOMENTUM• From the run up to pre delivery stride
ARM FORCE• From back foot stage to ball release
FLOW CHART (CONT’D)
INERTIA• From run up to back foot contact
GRAVITY• Through out all the phases
MECHANICAL OBJECTIVE
•BOWL AT MAXIMUM SPEED
• Varies as per individual
• Moreover, the bowling should be done with perfect line and length
“Shoaib Aktar of Pakistan
is the fastest bowler in
world of cricket with a
speed of 161.3 kmph
(100.2 mph)”
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES
•IDENTIFIED AS MAINLY FOUR
1. Momentum
2. Arm force
3. Inertia3. Inertia
4. Gravity
MOMENTUM•p = m x v
• Product of mass and velocity
• In bowling, long run and forward flex
ARM FORCE• FROM BACK FOOT TO BALL RELEASE
• Force from shoulder
• Force from other parts leads to injury
• End phase wrist play important role
• By Newton’s first law:
“A body at rest/motion remains in
rest/motion, unless & until external force is
INERTIA
• FROM RUN UP TO BACK FOOT CONTACT
applied on it”
• Force exerted by earth
• Centripetal (pulling force)
GRAVITY• IN ALL THE PHASES
PRACTICAL COMPONENT
WHAT IS ILLEGAL ACTION?
In simple words as throw bowling:
Throw bowling is chucking the bowl.
• Law 24.3 states –• Law 24.3 states –
“A ball is fairly delivered in respect to the arm if, once the bowler's arm has reached the level of the shoulder in the delivery swing, the elbow joint is not straightened partially or
completely from that point until the ball has left the hand”
WHAT IS ILLEGAL ACTION? (CONT’D)
• A straightened elbow gives unfair advantage
of generating extra speed than ball delivered
with a straight arm.
• However, most bowlers' arms will straighten
because of the sheer forces going through the
body at the point of delivery.
WHAT IS ILLEGAL ACTION? (CONT’D)
• The ICC has now set a maximum limit of 15
degrees of flex, which means that no bowler
can extend their elbow beyond that level
• If the bowler is suspected, bowler has to
undergo biomechanical testing
HOW TO VERIFY AN ILLEGAL
ACTION?
VICON 3D IMAGING
• Reflectors attached to bowlers body surface
• Converts bowling action into 3D image
• Breaks into
skeletal form skeletal form
for experts to
indentify the
faults
Camera
Reflector (Sensor)

AKHTAR
SHOAIB AKHTAR PROFILE
• Debut in 1997
• He is well known for his speed and pace bowls
• Passionate to make world record for speed
• Currently, he is WORLD FASTEST BOWLER• Currently, he is WORLD FASTEST BOWLER
• Controversy, over his bowling style
- his action was cleared by University of
Western Australia, which was due to his
hyper extensible joints
SHOAIB AKHTAR PROFILE (CONT’D)
• Downfall in his carrier after 2005
• Still facing problems due to rude behavior and
injurious

COMPARSION CONCLUSION
• Akhtar’s dream for delivering fastest bowl
took him to path of drugs and due to his rude
behavior, his average showed a downfall
• Malinga’s average has increased since he
joined international cricket, moreover he is
consistent
COMMON INJURY AMONG CRICKET
Wicket Keeper
30 %
Spin Bowlers
13 %
Batsman
16 %
Fast bowler
41 %
This clearly establishes that fast bowlers as the priority group for
continued injury risk factor researchOrchard et.al., 2005, Sports Health
WHY ARE BACK INJURIOUS TO FAST
BOWLERS TO CONCERNING?
• Injuries to lumbar vertebrae may not heal
properly
• Can lead to spondylolisthesis–forward slippage
of vertebraeof vertebrae
• Long term consequences:
– Disc problems
– Nerve root compression
– Early degeneration of lumbar spine
REPETITIVE MICROTRAUMA
(OVERUSE) INJURIES
• Repetitive microtrauma -a number of forces
combine to produce a fatigue effect over time
• Load involved with bowling one delivery might • Load involved with bowling one delivery might
not exceed critical limit of tissues
• Cumulative effect might result in mechanical
degradation of tissues
FLASH BACK OVER RESEARCH
OVERVIEW OF PREVIOUS RESEARCH
• High injury rates to fast bowlers were identified in an injury surveillance study conducted by Cricket Australia
• Three risk factors for injury to fast bowlers have been proposed:been proposed:
A plan was developed to quantify bowling workload in an objective, meaningful and reliable manner

preparation
Bowling
workload
A PILOT STUDY
• 1999/00 (a season later than planned…)
• 12 fast bowlers
• Mean age 25.4 years (range 22 -34)
• Bowling workload prospectively monitored for match and training monitored for match and training sessions
• Video training sessions 2 times per week
• A range of ideas considered –counter in bowling marker, hand-held counters
• Needed to develop a protocol that was acceptable and useful to players
METHODS

SUMMARY OF PILOT STUDY RESULTS
• 7 players (58%) sustained a total of 9 injuries
• Frequency of sessions
– injured = 1.9 days
– uninjured = 3.2 days– uninjured = 3.2 days
• Deliveries per week
– mean = 203
• Match deliveries per month
– mean = 552
SOFT TISSUE INJURIES
• Common among fast bowlers
• Mostly due to improper techniques
• Common injuries like
- Rotator Cuff injuries- Rotator Cuff injuries
- Biceps Tendon
- Supraspinatus Tendon
- Various other tendonitis
REHABILITATION
• On field treatment should be given by team
physical therapist:
- Vapocoolant Spray
REHABILITATION (CONT’D)
- Cryo + stretch
- Immobilization
- Massage
- If severe, the bowler has to be taken for - If severe, the bowler has to be taken for
Emergency Care department
REHBAILITATION (CONT’D)
KEY - Longer & slow rehab
• Minimum of 2 to 4 weeks of
rest following a injury
• PRICE protocol• PRICE protocol
• Ultrasound
• Manipulation & Mobilization as
graded to player
• Playing at reduced intensity and
gradually building up the pace
PREVENTION
• Always warm up & stretch
• Workload properly distributed
• Suitable footwear – which can take stress
• Proper technique• Proper technique
• Contact PT urgently whenever required
