Make sure that you are bowling full rather than short to reduce the height it bounces to. In your action make sure you flick the wrist on release of the ball, have a efficient chest pull to pull your arm through to speed the ball up, also work out what run up feels the best for you and is most efficient and doesn`t tire you out too much as this will help you maintain your speed.
