Information About

Bound (cricket)




In the Sport of Cricket , the bound is a jump that allows the bowler to transition from the run-up to the Back Foot Contact position. For a Chest On bowler not much transition is needed. So, many chest on bowlers have a low, short bound. In constast, Side On bowlers need to rotate their bodies through ninety degrees and so tend to have a longer, higher bound. A high bound can lead to the knee on the back foot collapsing and so lose momentum.
