Arshdeep Singh, how good has he been. His economy of 5.7 at death this IPL is surreal, he's been bringing Punjab back into the game everytime. He's touch quicker than before too, hitting almost 140 kph this IPL more often. Work has gone into increasing his arm speed, here's how
+ At front foot contact, Arshdeep's bowling arm is below the horizontal this IPL more often. In 2019 this wasn't the case so much. This delayed bowling arm allows the arm to accelerate over a greater distance, what we also call - improved arm speed, generating more pace.

Thread: IPL spinners graphic on wrist spinners. RTs appreciated!

Features Bishnoi, Hasaranga, Chahar, Chahal, Rashid, Kuldeep M Ashwin and Gopal. Googly splits vs LHBs & RHBs, lengths and much more.

Bishnoi's wide release point makes his googly more potent. It's skiddy & low. 2) RCB's Hasaranga has the lowest release height among spinners in IPL 2021. No wonder he gets his googly to hit the stumps more often than anyone in the circuit. He uses his googly a lot to RHBs.

Thread: Ellyse Perry and Mitchell Johnson exhibit one of the biggest bowling arm delay / lag in the game. See how far below the horizontal their arms are at front foot contact. This enables them to accelerate their arm faster than most, generating pace. But, how do they do it? The key to this is creating a momentary pause in the movement of the bowling arm or creating a longer path. Perry as captured holds the gather position or hardly moves her bowling arm from the jump to just before front foot contact. This creates the lag in the bowling arm.

I’ll be posting notes on a few bowlers for each team in the #CWC22. Starting with NZ’s new ball pair, Lea Tahuhu and Jess Kerr. As noted by @nassercricket on air, Tahahu is more round arm whereas Kerr is almost beyond perpendicular. #NZvWI South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp and Shabnim Ismail.

🧵IPL teams' depth charts and probable XI. Will keep adding teams to this thread. (The last post was off)

🧵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? 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?
