How to Train Your Bowlers!
by VarunNandode (Varun Nandode 2) 87 months ago TipsNewbieNow- After interactions with Various managers- I know there are many many Managers who are confused about Bowling Main Training- Even people who are in Div 3-Div 4- And yeah- it was surprising for me!!
So- I thought- why not I just put a Thread about the Best Methods- What's Good, What's Bad- What to do and How in Single Page?
P.S.- For Calculating Percentage Training your Bowler will recieve-
= (X/Y)*300%
Where X = No. of Overs bowled by that Bowler
Y= No. of Total Overs bowled by All such Bowlers (Total SPin or Seam overs- whatever you are training in)
This is PER MATCH! For Week- Add for both Matches of the Week!

How to Train?
|
Trainee A,B,C bowling 12 overs in Match 1 and Trainee D,E,F Bowling 12 overs in Match 2- Rest 8 overs bowled by opposite type bowler |
Trainee A,B,C,D,E,F Bowling 4,4,3,3,3,3 Overs in Match 1 and Trainees A,B,C,D,E,F bowling 3,3,4,4,4,2 overs in Match 2 |
Trainees- A,B,C,D,E,F bowling 3 overs each in Match 1 and in Match 2- and rest 2 overs to be bowled by Opposite type Bowler/Part timer |
Trainees A,B,C,D,E bowling 4 overs each- in both matches |
What You Get?
|
6 Trainees with 100% Training |
5 Trainees with 100% training and Trainee F with around 75% training |
6 Trainees with 100% training |
5 Trainees with 100% Training |
What You Need to Invest in?
|
2 Good opposite Type bowlers |
Nothing Much- An Advantage |
Batting All rounder with opposite type Bowling |
Nothing- That’s The Advantage here |
Key Benefits (Just my Suggestion- Could differ from case to case basis)
|
Fitness- Huge savings in Fitness
|
6 Bowlers
for Training- Hence extra Trainee to Sell and Earn Money later
|
6 Bowlers
with FULL Training- so 6 Kick ass Bowlers- MORE MONEY
|
Not much Risk- Can play with 6 Batsman- And don’t need to invest anything Extra + Double Experience- Better Bowling attack overall in few seasons
|
Major Drawbacks
|
Experience Loss- Only Half Experience
compared to Others
|
5
Batsman- Shorter Batting- resulting in more chances of losses
|
5 Batsman- Shorter Batting- Higher Chances of Loss + 2 Very weak overs- HIGH chance of getting thrashed in these overs
|
Training only 5 trainees instead of 6- there by loss of potential Income which other teams with 6 trainees can earn
|
Who Should go for it?
|
SEAM TRAINEES- Half Matches mean significantly Less Fitness Loss for them
|
SPIN
TRAINEES in Competitive Leagues where 2 weak overs might make the difference
in the season
|
SPIN TRAINEES who are in relatively easier League- or who have super strong Bowling that those 2 overs won’t make a difference
|
BOWLING TRAINERS in SUPER COMPETITIVE LEAGUE in HIGHER DIVISION- They CAN NOT Afford the Weak Overs or LESS BATSMAN
|
Pitch Suggestion
|
Bowling Friendly- As Your 6 Batsman can counter other Bowling- OR |
Sporting or Flat- Hear me out- With most Teams being Bowling Teams- Its better to have Sporting Pitch or Even Flat Pitch to help Your 5 Batsman |
Sporting or FLAT- Same logic applies- 5 Batsman- Need some support- which can help your Batsman to score well |
Bowling Friendly- Definitely Your Bowling Trainee Friendly Pitch- 5 Spinners- Crumbling, 5 Seamers- Green- No Doubts here! |
What Can you Expect
|
6 Great Trainees- And Less Fitness Training- Though 8 relatively Average overs means some matches could result in a Loss
|
5 Great Bowler with Great Experience + 1 Decent All Rounder in training- without compromising Batting strength- or 5 Great Bowlers and 1 Good with sacrifice of Batting
|
6 Great Bowlers with Great Experience But Losses due to those 2 overs and weaker Batting could be highest here
|
5 Great Bowlers with Great Experience And least chances of unexpected losses- though no option of Earning that Extra Money with sale of 6th Trainee

LOL! :p
want tobe a averagemanager
according to your formula my spin trainee get only 60% training even he bowls 8 overs in week's match.
how is it possible.....it means that a spinner can't get full training ever......
isn't it?
60%??
Not neccessary.. Method 1 and Method 4- You give full quota. :)
I HAVE 6 TRAINEES....Trainee A,B,C,D,E,F Bowling 4,4,3,3,3,3 Overs in Match 1 and Trainees A,B,C,D,E,F bowling 3,3,4,4,4,2 overs in Match 2...
BUT ACCORDING TO your formula..
8/40*300%= 60%......
