Bowling Masterclass: Pace, Swing & Spin Training
I don't just teach you to bowl; I teach you to understand the art. From mastering your run-up rhythm to holding the perfect seam position, we fix the mechanics that stop you from taking wickets.
A young bowler asked me why the non-bowling arm should be held. It's crucial for balance and to ensure your body's momentum is used behind the ball. A stable non-bowling arm helps you bowl straight and fast.
We even have a "Lefty Malinga" at our academy. His unique slinging action is quick and very difficult for batsmen to pick up. We encourage and refine natural talent.
A proud moment for us. Our player, Shubham, bowling to the Afghanistan international team during their practice session. This is the kind of exposure we strive to provide.
This is a perfect outswing delivery, just like Sir James Anderson. The ball pitches and moves away, taking the edge of the bat. This is what we call a dream ball for any fast bowler.
If you are struggling with your run-up, these drills are the solution. We use cones and hurdles to develop a smooth, rhythmic, and quick approach to the crease.
Here are two of our great fast bowlers in action. We work on their approach, action, and delivery to ensure they can generate maximum pace and accuracy.
The revenge of a fast bowler. After being hit for a few runs, he comes back with a fiery delivery that beats the batsman all ends up. This is the attitude of a true fast bowler.
Leading by example. Here I am demonstrating the correct bowling action, showing the importance of a high-arm action and follow-through.
A young player from the UK learning the art of leg-spin from me. We are working on his grip, pivot, and release to get the perfect spin and drift.

About Bowling Masterclass: Pace, Swing & Spin
Many bowlers struggle because their non-bowling arm falls away too early, causing them to leak pace and lose direction. I focus heavily on this lock—holding that arm steady until the front foot lands. If you do not get this position right, your body momentum is wasted, and your accuracy will never be consistent. We fix this with specific drills right here at the academy.
Bowling is not just about raw speed; it is about rhythm, repeatable action, and deception. Whether you are working on your outswing or trying to land that perfect leg-spin, the process remains the same: basics first. At Brigade Cricket Academy, we break down your bowling action frame-by-frame.
My Approach to Bowling
I don't believe in generic advice. We use video analysis with voiceover breakdowns to show you exactly where your wrist position or release point is letting you down. If your inswing is not landing, we check your shoulder alignment. If you are struggling with pace, we look at your run-up approach.
Training Modules
- Seam & Swing Control: We work on keeping the seam upright and using the crease to create angles that make it difficult for batsmen to read you.
- Pace Generation: Using bowling machines and 145kmph RoboArm throwdowns, we simulate high-pressure scenarios to help you understand how to control your speed without losing accuracy.
- Spin Mastery: From the grip to the pivot and the final flick, we teach you how to drift and turn the ball, not just bowl it.
Why It Works
Success in cricket is a tapasya (a dedicated journey). You will not become a match-winner overnight, but if you commit to the technical drills—the shadow practice, the hurdle run-ups, and the constant video feedback—you will see a change in your performance. We train in a serious environment where Ranji and international players have practised, which means you get to work on real turf wickets, not just nets.
Brigade Cricket Academy
I'm not a coach who sits on the sidelines. I'm with you in the nets, correcting your wrist position, fixing your run-up, and showing you exactly where you're losing pace. At Brigade Cricket Academy, we treat bowling like a science, and I expect total dedication to the process.
