ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study is to find out the relationship between Delivery Stride Length and Shoulder Counter Rotation in Pace Bowling in Cricket. To fulfill the purpose, 11 male university level pace bowlers (Aged 21.91±1.64; Height 1.654±0.07) of Visva Bharati University were filmed in an outdoor field in a standard (20.12 m) cricket pitch. Two Dimensional Kinematic (2-D) data were collected by pointing two standard cameras from the direction of two planes (Transverse and Sagital). For the acquisition of kinematic data subject’s Shoulder Alignment at Back Foot Contact and Front Foot Contact, Shoulder Counter Rotation and Delivery Stride Length was analyzed in Kinovea Software ( 8.25 version).  In statistical analysis Pearson Product Moment correlation shows significant relationship(r=0.59) between Delivery Stride Length and Shoulder Counter Rotation of the pace bowlers.  From the obtain result it is concluded that in Pace Bowling ,Delivery Stride Length and Shoulder Counter Rotation having significant relationship  and Delivery Stride Length can be a strong  predictor of Shoulder Counter Rotation.
