🧵on how Chameera remodeled his action. @irbishi mentioned how his action has gotten stronger.
Left - Old (2015)
Right -Remodeled (now)
At front foot contact, front & back foot are cross aligned in his old action. But they are much more in line towards the batter. What changed? ImageImage
Look at how his bowling arm separates after the gather / loading. In his old action, the bowling arm goes away from his body and then he pulls it back in the direction of mid-on.
But, it is much closer to the body and is pulled straight down in his new action. So, what? ImageImage
Well, every action has an opposite reaction. As a reaction to the direction of inward pull of the bowling arm in his old action, the back foot goes further outward inducing a significant cross-alignment in his feet.
With a more compact gather, feet are well aligned in new action ImageImage
Like Bharat Arun says in this informative interview on @ESPNcricinfo by @the_kk on Ashwin's action remodeling, changes in load up influence the entire alignment. Chameera remodeled his gather and it resulted in better alignment. Image
Overall, better alignment makes the action stronger. It offers better control. It minimizes injury chances too. And Chameera has gotten much more disciplined in his line and length in the past year or so.
But, now they are much more in line towards the batter ***
@afidelf, thought this will be of interest to you.
