A Cricket Bowling Machine is a Cricket Equipment which enables a batsman to practise (Normally in the nets).The bowling machine can be able to bowl a useful range of deliveries.There are three types of Bowling Machines namely Mechanical,Pneumatic and programmable bowling machines.
Mechanical Bowling Machine
The main mechanism of this machine comprises of 2 heavy wheels which has a diameter of about 30-50cm in diameter shod with pneumatic or rubber tyres.Each wheel is driven by its own electric motor and they are separated by only 7 cm.This machine has a ball joint which allows a wide range of movements.The electric motors are typically powered by car battery and there is a controller which helps in the variation of speed of each wheel which in turn helps to bowl a wide range of deliveries.

Pneumatic Bowling Machine
The Space in this machine is a hopper that contains the balls and there is a rotor with a space of 6 balls.There is a trap door through which the rotor passes and by the weight of the ball it falls into a small chamber.There is pump which is used to provide a flow of air into the chamber and the airflow pushes the ball along the chamber to a rubber ring known as “restrictor“.The “restrictor” has a hole in which the diameter is slightly less than a cricket ball which seals the hole.So the air pressure inside the chamber builds up and ultimately pumps the ball out through a nozzle which is released at the height of a bowler’s arm.

Programmable Bowling Machine
This is the most advanced bowling machine which are intended to overcome some of the limitations of the other two bowling machines and also aids to rapidly re-configure themselves to bowl different types of deliveries in quick succession.“Merlyn“ is a programmable bowling machine in which the makers of it claims that this is a machine which helps to bowl any kind of deliveries known to man.The machine also claims that it can bowl shane warne’s magic leg breaks.
The Makers Of Bowling Machines Are:-
- Pneumatic
- Kanon
- Programmable
- Merlyn Bowling Company
