Ashok Dinda accredits improvement in his bowling to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Frederick-Sykes-c65697 Simmons – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashok-Dinda-c1098, the 27-year-old fast bowler from Bengal, has been in the limelight after making his way into the Indian national squad for the Asia Cup – which is being hosted by Bangladesh. The right-arm pacer has been included on the back of some sizzling
performances for his domestic team in the Ranji Trophy.
Dinda looked a completely different bowler during the domestic competition, from the one that made his debut for India during the 2010 season. The 27-year-old is more disciplined in his approach, he is attacking the stumps on a regular basis and this is
paying off for him, as he has been amongst the wickets in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy.
The speedster has accredited this change in his mindset to former bowling coach of the Indian cricket team, Eric Simmons. Dinda played under Simmons in the Indian Premier League. Simmons was the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Dare Devils bowling coach at that time. The former West
Indian advised Dinda to practice bowling at a single stump.
The pacer said, “When I was with Delhi Daredevils last year, it was Simmons who told me to bowl aiming at single stump. I did practice for long hours and that helped me hit a consistent length throughout the season.”
He further said, “I have learnt to control my swing. Earlier, I was too happy to bowl bouncers but now I know the importance of bowling fuller length deliveries. Also I have practised with shorter run-up as it helps to get the ball zip off the turf -- something
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ajit-Agarkar-c972 has done well over the years.”
Dinda followed his mentor’s advice and now has earned a recall into http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bengal-c771 will have to grab any chance that comes his way.
The 27-year-old is resolute to keep performing at his best if given an opportunity. However, if he does not get a chance to play in the Asia Cup, he will not lose hope. The Asia Cup involving India, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 starts from Sunday,
March 11, 2012.
