Are you a cricketer and do you want to improve your bowling technique, especially your pitching technique then here are some few tips for you. Most important factor to be considered is line because it decides that with how much room the batsman has to play. Bowler should focus more on bowling towards off stump and also they should concentrate on the bowling in the corridor of uncertainty. Meaning of this statement is as long as you keep bowling in this region, you will surely keeping lots of pressure on the batsman to play a shot or he should get caught. Even if the batsman will miss the shot then he will surely get bowled or will get caught behind. It is not easy task to bowl in good line but if practice well then you can surely develop it.

It is also important the length at which you are bowling. Normally ‘good length’ ball is a delivery in which batsman is not going to get enough time to hit the ball to play bigger shots. Ball should not be too close to the bat and even it should not be too far also from the bat. Why it is so because when the ball bounces then either it will turn or pitch in a specific direction it is required to. If you are a good bowler than you should use length for your advantage by bowling different line of deliveries so that batsman will easily get confused. First you should start with few short delivery and then one full length delivery and in that you can hope to get leg before wicket or get bowled. This is one more thing which requires lot of practice and this you can only achieve if as a bowler you have a full control on the ball.

Being a fast bowler if you want to achieve optimum speed then you are required to set your line and length first. It may take years of time before you get a full confidence to bowl at quick pace. First you should start with slow and get perfection in your run up and then build your power gradually. If you really want to see good line and length then you should see Australian bowler Glen McGrath, he is considered to be one of the finest example of line and length bowling. Some of the world best bowlers improves their bowling by counting the number of strides so that the never get under or over stretch.
