5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference, 22 Jun 2007
By R. Kitzinger "Cricket Coach" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent read for all fast bowling coaches and I would recommend all coaches to broaden their knowledge with it. Easy to understand and first class images to back up the theories. I would recommend going on one of the author's courses for the practical experience to back it all up as well.

A first class choice!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Bowlers Bible, 6 Sep 2007
By Dave (Herts, UK) - See all my reviews
Teaching fast bowling is hard as kids all have different actions and different capabilities. This book explains how to teach it really well. Its not just a technical manual from which you have to just copy what the player in the picture is doing, but it explains all the important parts of what makes them bowl faster and what makes them bowl straighter. Well worth a read

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite the Bible of bowling, but not bad
The Fast Bowler's Bible is a good book but not a great one. The book is let down by the section of fitness and injury prevention and more importantly the biomechanics section,... Read more
