Focus on the batsman's leg. Don't look the ground when you are ready to yorker.

Question

Every time I bowl a yorker, it becomes a full toss. How can I gain a bit more accuracy?

Community Answer

Just before releasing the ball, tilt your hand a little lower. Remember, the more you practice, the easier it becomes.

Question

Give me the methods to catch a hard ball?

Community Answer

You should try catching tennis ball at first stage and then once you are able to catch it well then you should use the cork ball or the deuce ball. Just practice catching it from a long height or a fast delivery.

Question

Whenever I try to do Yorker, it becomes a short length ball. What should I do for a Yorker?

Community Answer

Your release point of the hand must be accurate. You must release the ball late in comparison to other types of deliveries. Plus, your hand-mind coordination should be perfect. And keep practising!

Question

How to hit 6 for a yorker length delivery?

Community Answer

Try to hit a helicopter shot. This shot enables you to get under the ball and hit. To hit this shot, one's wrist has to be very strong or else you might end up hurting it.

Question

How do you focus to bowl at the batsman’s feet because I keep on bowling a wide?

Phoenix

Community Answer

If you're new to cricket, (or bowling) before you ask to bowl in a match situation, practice until you are confident. Start by bowling slowly. If you take it too fast, it is harder to aim, unless you are practiced. It is likely that you will miss your target if you start to quickly, and you will get frustrated. Just take it slow and easy, until you begin to notice that you are hitting the target consistently. It is good to practice with a batter. Then, as your consistency improves, try bowling it faster and faster, until you're a pro!

Question

How to improve timing?

Community Answer

When bowling, make sure to release the ball right ‘above your ear’. When batting, watch the ball as it goes onto your bat, and try slow, underarm feeds until you can improve.

Question

When we play in the sun and the sun reflects in our eyes, then how do we catch it?

Community Answer

Try to play in a relatively shady area. If you can’t find a shady area, then try to wear a cap or sunglasses.
