when you watch this bavk yourself, what do you think. self analysis is a great tool.
dont be harsh on yourself.

I think maybe my foot could get more across and I could leave some instead of playing at everyone however I'm looking to improve my technique

Quite an improvement from a few months ago, your head and hands are in a better position now IMO. :) I think it's just a problem with playing against a bowling machine, the front foot tends to plant at a specific area. I think perhaps a bucket or two of slightly wider balls would help, just make sure you get your front foot closer to the pitch of the ball, but play to leave most of them. Decision making is a big part of batting, so if you're going to attack the ball, perhaps free your arms just a little more, as you will get more power into the shot, I feel that lots of people get out because they get stuck in two minds. Just my opinion, which is not nearly always right, the most important thing is what you feel you can improve on! As Buzz said, back yourself and focus on the positives. ;)

Tony, this is a real improvement matey!! Well done :)

Cheers chad! My hands certainly look a lot closer to my body compared to what they did :)
I'm hopefully going on the machine one night this week so will try and film it and ill get the feeder to Mix around with the line so my foot has to move. Cheers for the advice chad appreciated!

Your head looks nice and still through the shots - good work!

Looks tight and tidy.
Only problem being your front foot is landing in the same position every time. Hence when the ball is a touch wider you're reaching, when its on middle stump you'll be playing around your pad.
Ironically, when the bowler is bowling perfect line and length that is when you will be most comfortable. You still want to be able to take advantage of the width though.
A test to see if your foot is auto going to the exact same place is to get throw downs from a team mate, ask them once every 10 balls or so randomly to only pretend to throw the ball.

Don't think he realises my age, but fair point about it not being relevant!
Yeah mate, your age isn't particularly relevant, its disgusting!

Thank you, atleast the work has payed off.....however having worked on my technique further from this video I'd like to think it looks a lot better.... Given the work I've put into it
