Title: What is your keeping driven by?
Post by: shazz on July 23, 2011, 09:37:48 PM

in these videos JR talks about his keeping being driven by aggression.
Personally I think that MN is right, footwork for me is the most important.
What are your main points while keeping?

i think im aggressive when keeping as well. cant really explain it.

but i like to think that the batter knowns if he misses it and hes off balance hes a out.

i think when am keeping i have a good presance and the batters known this.

Alot of people in the leauge comment on me being this best keeper in the league so i guess that drives me to be good. because if i dont have that sort of drive i will get sloppy. I do think i am a far better keeper on a sat then in the 20/20 format.

I think it is a combination of everything here, when I keep.
I am mildly driven by aggression, as such..
But I rely on footwork and try to make it known that I'm there behind the stumps.
That said I'm not a nasty keeper who's a (No Swearing Please), like some are.
I'm always motivated when I keep as I am relatively new to it (started last July - on this day last year incidentally!) and basically taught myself...

just watched the jack russel vid.

im impressed cos thats how i stand when i am stood back lol

dont agree with his stud up stuff.

i think im also driven by speed when i take the ball i dont do what jack was saying i allways try and take the ball in the direction of the stumps .

yeh, when standing up i whip the bails off, pretty much whenever it hits my gloves, especially legside, its the best way of putting pressure on the batsman, no need for chat!

Standing back, if the wicket is good i will be more upright than if it is low, i think the most important thing standing back is that you are still down as the ball passes the edge.
