🚀 🌟 78mph at only 14 years old !
Unbelievable effort from young Yorkshire CAG quick, George Cameron, as he hit 78mph on our speed gun this week.
The scary thing is, there are so many areas that George can improve to help him become quicker and more efficient.
Fast bowling isn’t just about making bowlers bowl quick, it’s about making sure that they’re safe when doing so, and that their action is repeatable.
The adjustments we have made with George’s action will hopefully help him increase pace, stay on the park and become a better fast bowler.
Loving your work so far, George!

🏏 IN THE MIDDLE - INTERNATIONAL EDITION - with Raynard Van Tonder
Great work from South African International, Ray, last week. Playing his cricket in Derby, Raynard came for a 1:1 to further develop his game.
Having played 2 tests for South Africa this winter, Ray will be looking to build on a strong start to his international career and we’re chuffed to be aiding his cricket whilst he’s over in the UK.
During the session, we worked on playing the ball later against pace, whilst ensuring that he makes strong movements into the ball, off the front and back foot. Lastly, we found he was at his best when his hands were closer to his body, giving him more control and power.
Top work, Ray!
