Title: My 1st net of 2013.
Post by: NathRobbo88 on January 05, 2013, 04:05:24 PM
Hi Guys,

I had my first net of the winter this morning and was wondering if there are any tips you have to improve my batting.

I know I thought I'd ease back in after a long winter with some half volleys.

I've changed the links so hopefully they all work.

Try to get your head further towards the line of the ball, this will take your feet closer to the pitch and should stop you having to overcompensate and twisting your bottom hand. At the moment, in some of the drives you're leading foot first instead of shoulder/head first and this could be why you're hands are rotating.

Some lovely shots nath.

You do play the flick off the legs to balls hitting middle and off quite a lot. Do you get out lbw much?

Thanks, not particularly. Having said that it don't bat all that often in a game, which is something I'm trying to work too.

Thanks for the advice Nick, I shall give this a go next time I net and let you know how I get on.

Why is that?

I'm not too sure tbh. I open the bowling on Saturday's and usually bat 11! Hopefully I'll be able to bat up the order on Sunday's though and get some match practice and runs, fingers crossed I might even be able to open ;)

Perhaps bend your front knee so you're more balanced and don't get off the back leg?

What do you mean when you say 'don't get off the back leg'?

Keep my back foot fixed on a pivot point is it?

Just watched vid 1. Your head seems to be outside off stump as the ball is delivered and you are falling over hence the reason why your back leg keeps coming through which means you finish squared up. What guard do you take?
