3 easy-to-follow bowling actions if you want to be a right-arm fast bowler

#3 Umar Gul

Guldozer

To follow the bowling action of the Pakistani pacer, your back should be very strong. Umar Gul is one of those bowlers who bend their back twice in their bowling action i.e. at the start and at releasing point. His running starts with bending the back and steaming in till reaching the umpire. Then, he decreases his speed a little and straightens his back as well.

At the same time, the right arm goes back and the front arm comes forward horizontally with the fist closed like a martial artist would let his fellows break blocks on his arm. Then, he relaxes the front arm after taking the aim and releases the ball.

His ball-releasing posture is neither side-on nor chest-on rather in between both. Both grips can be used effectively in this bowling action.
