		Bowlers will not be able to ‘learn’ how to deliberately bowl with a 15 degree straightening of the elbow; it is a natural effect created by body forces in delivery.
		However, if a bowler exceeds 15 degrees when bowling a specific type of delivery but the rest of his repertoire is legal, he can be given a warning that would allow him to play but at the risk of further reporting if he chose to bowl the suspect delivery.
		If a bowler is reported twice in a two year period and found to have an illegal action on both occasions, he will be suspended from international cricket for a minimum period of 12 months.

		Cricket is a gentlemen’s game, hence we aspiring young cricketers weren’t given much care and admiration.
		The bowlers are very friendly blokes who give timely reminders to the batsmen to return to their crease, whenever they are lost and start wandering here and there.
		Also the bowlers get such tendencies of passing on such friendly gestures and if the batsmen don’t understand it, then these gestures are put into the form of words.

	Bowler (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A medium pace bowler bowls somewhat more slowly and will often have some other weapon in their bowling arsenal rather than relying on speed.
		This might take the form of being able to swing the ball in the air or disguise the speed or length of his or her delivery to fool the batsman.
		Generally spin bowlers give up the most runs but they all have "tricks" that they use to fool the batsman and get him or her out (such as the arm ball, googly, flipper, topspinner or doosra).

		bowlers don't walk through umpires when they are going back to their run up.
		Rather than having separate "swing" bowlers, give the ability to "outswing" or "inswing" the ball to some bowlers in addition to their pace or otherwise - Wasim could have the ability to do both, Fleming just "outswing" and Waqar "inswing".
		When the bowler runs to collect a ball on the boundary and throws it in, the bloke covering the wicket throws it, underarm, out to the bowler on the boundary and he walks ALL the way back.
