Steven Finn (cricketer) - Bowling Style

Bowling Style

Writing in 2012 during England's tour of the UAE where they faced Pakistan, George Dobell wrote of Finn

He has pace and height. He has an easy, repeatable action. He has stamina and strength and, now, he seems to have developed the skills to trouble good batsmen on good surfaces. It is not that he has just learned how to swing and reverse swing the ball, or that he now seems to gain more seam movement, it is that he has put the whole package together and added the vital ingredient – consistency – to his game. ... He has maintained a horrid, nagging length that has left batsmen unsure whether to play forward or back, he has nipped the ball both ways off the seam and gained some swing. And he has done it all at pace. He has regularly exceeded 90mph and left a batsman as experienced as Younis Khan saying how surprised – and impressed – he was with Finn's aggression and hostility.
