In an interview with ICC recently, he said that he used to play cricket at a young age which greatly impacted his style of bowling. In this regard, he mentioned how playing tennis ball cricket during his childhood helped him improve his game especially bowling yorker deliveries.
“During my growing days I had played lots of tennis-ball rubber-ball cricket. When you have summer camps or during summer vacations I used to play a lot with my friends. When we had way too much time on our hands we would play games. As a child I thought this was the only method of getting wickets because I was an avid fan of rapid bowlers. I therefore sought to emulate what I saw as television,” Bulger told ICC.
For him repetition is extremely crucial in mastering his technique which includes bowling yorkers. “Is it (tennis-ball cricket) secret (to bowling yorkers)? I don’t know but surely repetition is. I still practice it to date. Every skill you develop you have to practice and make it stronger. So i think combination both may be the answer.” He added
