    How do I do an inswing ball with mixed action?
    Community Answer
    You should really not be bowling mixed action as it can cause harm to you. If you want to bowl with a mixed action, you really need to get as strong as a guy like Ben Stokes. He has a similar mixed action, but he is so strong that there is not much impact on the body. Inswing is through the wrist, not through the action. Keep your wrist facing fine leg and bowl a little wider of the crease.

    Community Answer
    An accurate Yorker is a delivery that will get the batsman very confused. It must be bowled with all force for it to go all the way and always aimed at the middle stump or the batsman's legs. A good Yorker swings, but reverse swing is the worst idea.

    You can take wicket by inswing bowling if the batsman is right handed. If you place your ball at a good length it will come towards the batsman, so give it a chance to be out as it takes an edge and goes towards first or second slip.

    Try taking deep breaths. Calm yourself. Tell yourself that there is no harm in bowling a bad ball, but you are going to try your best anyway. Do not lose control of your temper. This will make you bowl inaccurately. And practice as much as you can so you can rely on muscle memory whenever anxiety threatens to overwhelm you.
  • Question
    How do I stop missing things when inswinging?
    Community Answer
    Try to bowl the bowl the ball on a good line and length. Try to bowl it fuller to allow the ball more time to swing. Try to keep your arm as high and as straight as you can and bowl the ball a little wide outside off stump for a right handed batsman so it swings back in. Additional tip, if the ball is swinging more or like a loop, when releasing try to push the ball wide outside off stump, but not too wide so that the batman's initial movement is toward the off side but being an in-swinger the ball will loop back in. Practice to perfect things.
