Development of a Novel Bowling Machine for Improved Training Performance

This study revolves around designing, simulating, and creating an inventive cricket bowling machine to enrich training sessions by mimicking various bowling styles. The machine introduces a unique ballpropelling mechanism capable of handling six balls simultaneously, delivering them accurately with a time delay of 10 seconds. A sophisticated mechanical gear system is devised and integrated into the machine, ensuring smooth operation. The base of the machine is supported by a portable fan stand, facilitating the prototype's development. The innovative ball-propelling mechanism enhances stability in pitch positioning, ball rotation axis, and speed control, providing batsmen with a controlled practice environment. Extensive test trials have been conducted to validate the machine's ability to replicate different ball deliveries, including spin and fast deliveries, showcasing its practical application for training purposes.
