Can bowl at good pace, largely courtesy of rotational torque generated and arm speed through delivery rather than being able to generate all the way up & through entire body.
Areas to work on:
Falling away quite a bit at delivery encouraged by leaning away going into bound and being slightly off balance.
Alignment; standing taller building up muscle memory trying to achieve a braced front leg, locked in strong, upper body staying upright, front arm supporting as long as possible and pulling down vertically to encourage weight to drive straight forwards over front leg.
This can be worked on by going from a standing position at back foot contact, striding forwards purposefully and allow the body the chance to feel how it can work with weight driving over front leg. Then progress to walking through action trying to create same feeling, then followed by a very manageable amount of momentum from a 'canter' into the crease and eventually full run where better muscle memory has been built up through consistent repetition drills.
The use of cones, or better still some kind of intervention poles to encourage upper body to remain upright would be beneficial, as a left armer create a 'slight' natural angle into the crease, but aim to work in a line towards first slip (to RHB, or towards off stump if LHB).
