A four-man bowling squad will represent Pakistan at the upcoming Asian Games, the Pakistan Tenpin Bowling Federation announced on Friday.

The squad includes Ijaz-ul-Rehman, Khalid Saeed Butt, Mohammad Hussain and Saleem Baig.
“The ongoing Islamabad Premium Bowling League is a part of practice regimen for the Asian Games,” Secretary of Pakistan Tenpin Bowling Federation Ijaz-ul-Rehman told APP.

“Tenpin bowling was not initially part of Pakistan’s plans for the Asian Games but the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) granted permission to us (Pakistan Tenpin Bowling Federation) to participate at the last moment.”

Pakistan’s tenpin bowling team has previously participated in the Tenpin Bowling World Cup in France.

Bowling How To

Hey! This article is intended for everyone who loves bowling! It is already bowl with a hook, but you want to improve. You may never have been able to bowl with a hook and you are desperate to learn. That's the nice thing about bowling – it is universal!

For those of you who currently can get your ball to hook, but can not seem to hold the hook through the pocket, I would recommend the following –

– Check the speed of the arm on release as well as your liberation.

You may be able to get the initial movement, but dies before it hits the pocket. This is usually a case of not getting speed on the ball enough or not enough spin on the ball. This will cause the hook to die before reaching the ball pocket.

Now, for those who can not get any engagement with the ball, let me try to explain to you how it works and what you can do to get your ball-coupling

– How to get the proper motion of the wrist.

Go ahead and get up. Keep your was as if you were holding a bowling ball. Start the back and come forward. Almost 3 / 4 's of the way through, take your hand around as if you're going to try to shake hands with someone. This is the basic concept of how to bowl a hook. Of course, other factors remain, such as fast to turn your wrist, etc., but this is the basis of it.

Now, it seems that all right?
Here's the deal. I have been bowling for as long as I can remember. I have always loved bowling. About 5 years ago, however, I started to get fed up because my game has been blocked in the range 160. Why? I did not have the right knowledge and training to launch the perfect hook ball.

Bowlers shine as scores stay down

Bowlers dominated at all three venues as low scoring typified the start of round two in the Car Company Nelson two-day cricket competition.

Home team Stoke-Nayland were on the back foot early against WTTU at the Marsden Rec on Saturday before finally capitulating for just 139 runs on a good batting surface. WTTU were no better off at stumps, however, ending the day precariously placed at 110 for 8 in reply.

Wakatu's bowlers rolled Waimea College for just 94 runs on a flat Saxton Oval pitch, their batsmen partially bucking the trend of low scores by reaching 166 for 7 at stumps for an overall lead of 72 runs.

There were extenuating circumstances at Lower Ngawhatu, where sprinklers accidentally activated overnight, causing a damp wicket. Wanderers bowler Joe O'Connor exploited the conditions superbly to capture six first-innings wickets and a further three in the second against Motueka as their contest threatens an early finish next weekend.

Stoke-Nayland's batsmen couldn't handle the swing and movement of a lively WTTU bowling attack as their top six batsmen amassed just 22 runs between them, Mark Douglas and Ryan Edwards both out for ducks, as they slumped despairingly to 43 for 7.

They eventually found their saviour in No7 batsman Peter Younghusband, who battled defiantly through 47 overs to compile an unbeaten 55 runs, also partnering Darius Skeaping in an 85-run stand for the eighth wicket before Skeaping was trapped lbw by Sam Baxendine for 38.

Rolling a successful season Williston club is eyeing solid year

Rolling a successful season Williston club is eyeing solid yearThe Williston High School bowling club is in its third year of existence, and is heading in the right direction.

The main thing is to get the kids to enjoy this as a team sport,” said Williston bowling coach Ture Peterson. “Because it’s a team sport.”

The Williston club is made up of 13 bowlers, which is down from 19 bowlers a year ago.

But the decrease in numbers isn’t a concern for Peterson.

“As long as we can fill varsity and JV with six or seven bowlers, I’d be pretty happy.” Five bowlers participate at the varsity level, which uses a baker team format. Each match is a best-out-of-five, with each participant bowling every sixth frame.

On the season, Williston is 2-1. Williston opened its season two weeks ago in Dickinson.

Williston defeated Minot, but lost to Dickinson. Mandan was scheduled to participate, but does not have bowlers to field a team.

As a result of Mandan not participating, Williston bowled against the low team score from the Minot/Dickinson match, which it beat to record its second win.

“Dickinson handed it to us,” Peterson said. “They bowled over 200 in every game against us, which is good in this format.”

During one stretch, Peterson said Dickinson rolled seven strikes in a row.”

Bowling is a school-sponsored activity, which allows participants to earn letters.

“We get no funding from them (Williston High School), but we get to use the name,” Peterson said.

As a result, bowling relies on fundraising more so than any other of the school-sponsored activities.

Friday Night Burgers at the Moose Lodge has proven to be a big source of revenue for the Williston bowlers.

“Whatever we bring in, they pretty much donate,” Peterson said.

The Williston bowlers will return to action Saturday at Minot.

Dickinson is also scheduled to participate.

The Williston club will host a meet on Nov. 6 at Million Dollar Lanes.

The state meet will be Nov. 20 in Moorhead, Minn.
