I must note i'm not a batsman well i open the batting but i'm a keeper in my eyes more.
I spent around 2 to 3 hours a week trying to improve people who know me know i'm cricket mad and watch everything
Anyway this is me batting working on a few things...
https://youtu.be/NzoBz1n05ZM
Tried the new Shrey lid and my new B3 bat which is 2-8 and a half...
-
Always trying to improve even though i'm old now
-
Ha ha, took you 3 and a half mins to hit the camera,
Good coverage on that bat, ones you timed off your legs sounded lovely
Get that bat down to dummer, so we can have a go
-
some short stuff now any pointer more than welcome i'm under a level 3 coach as i think it important to always want to improve no matter how old you are.
worked on leg side stuff and short and wide and straighter stuff
short stuff

any pointers always welcome

You time the ball very nicely and you hit the ball beautifully straight down the pitch. Your balance also looks very good. Only thing that sticks out is you don't really make much of a stride with your front foot, but your hand eye seems to nullify that anyway. Keep up the good work.
-
Looking in good touch straight down the ground pal, nice straight bat, timed a few very nicely!

many thanks i'm only a small man i prefer to lead with my head a big stride leads me to be in a mid way position this way i play the ball under my eyes but point taken
-
Bat straight out of wrapper i'm very happy with it helmet gonna take abit longer to get used to with new safety stuff grill further away from my head
-
A good eye, no question
That weight of bat lets you play your shots too, loved the slap straight, can't do that with a bat too heavy for you
-
How's the Shrey? I'm in the process of choosing between the masterclass air and the masuri vision ti elite so really keen to hear opinions. I've heard some bad things about Shrey's being broken out the box, cheaper materials, poorer craftsmanship etc.. but I like a light helmet so I'm still considering it over the masuri. Good batting btw!
-
Sign him up #properplayer
-
Looking good mate. You don't look at all how I pictured you to! Love the lid, too. How you finding it?
-
I'm just hungry to improve always have been i have been watching ABV Box theory and try and stay to that.
I work in different areas most times i net but recently come under this coach who is great.
I love batting and want to improve
Will do shrey and masuri reviews very soon
-

I'm fatter than people imagine however i'm thinner than i was !!!!
-
Looks like you're onto a winner with that new match bat! Keep it up, buddy!
-
@procricket B3 Looks good playing half volleys. but not sure why your left leg goes so far back playing square on the offside. looks odd.... You pretty much playing the shot on one leg which restricts the amount of power you can put behind it because of lack of balance. Stand tall on both feet and smack it :)
btw, ever decide to part ways with that bat, hola me :D

I can assure you they where not half volleys (well not all of them) but fair enough i was look for balance on the set.
Agree about back foot something in the pipeline :D weight still going through ball through balance but i agree
This is a good bat :D
Cheers for the feedback mate.
-
the first video was mostly half volleys. but looked good, nice and straight :D
-
off side video coming now strangely my weak area
-
Your back foot strokes resembles more like a sub continent player through the off. I'm myself practising to play more like and English or an Aussie. Because at the moment I cut too much. How do you play in front of the wicket even if the ball is short. Is that a mindset or technical adjustment ?/

-
I do not like the cut i try to get on top of the ball and play as late as possible and chop down i never noticed my back foot i guess it a habit from playing late and letting the ball come to be if that makes sense. the reason for the first bucket on the legs i'm a wristy player and i want to play more in the V.
However i do sometimes lack the power cricketfrek is talking about so point is very much taken and will be worked on
-
off side after 1=08m
not nearly as strong i get the bat away from my body quite a bit working hard on this area
https://youtu.be/2ZOQLhYKGvo
oh sorry half volley or two thrown in there :D
Get the strokes right is my coaches motto and enjoy learning I'm definitely in confirmation of shot time happy with tonight session cheers @RF
-
Really impress with your batting style, straight bat, only a 2 or 3 shot u tried to cross the bat to leg side, you mentioned you are small men, may i know u height?
-
5ft 8in maybe
-
Just been watching Kane Williamson who lets
Be honest is a batting legend he cuts with a withdrawn left leg and in the air too granted He is a master!!!
Mmm need to have a chat with the coach
-
Oreet Dave, what speed was t machine on?
It looks like it takes you a bit, to start playing em back through covers?
Almost like your trying to hit too straight?
Would be good to see you bat on grass, with a field set
What's your main scoring shot?
-
All round the wicket very right I was trying to play all night as straight as possible.
Grass i would say my aim is to get the bowler to bowl straight to be line them up but on side picking area for me.
Speed throughout was around 70 if you see me aim was under the eye and make the ball bounce before it hits the net play as late as possible.
Main aim was head and balance and my aim was to hit as straight as possible
Speed training no need at the minute.
-
That's good batting on that speed setting, would have to be a rock hard track to face that speed on grass
-
yes I'm quite fussy I what I want to try and do is get technical issues at lower speed.
But to be honest for me batting is not about leg position it's about head leading not the leg.
Midway position is the curse of most club
Cricketers in my eye.
You can never stop learning I been watching abv videos on YouTube and a few other guys the box principle is a personal favourite of mine.
-
Looks great dave, nice stance, pickup and your bat comes through really nice.
Like others have mentioned, a bigger stride with front foot could help, as you rotate your body square and walk into the shot after contact. I think a bigger stride would give a more stable base, help you generate more power without your back leg coming into play.
Well done though, look a quality player 😃
-
The leg side there was a bit of walking onto them with the head and agree about the rotation the thing I was trying to do more than anything because I tend to whip it through mid wicket was hit straight and my main aim was to get head and hands through without the rear hip rotation so to play either mid on or if it swinging which it was set on 2 on the machine glance it down to fine leg from same position.
There was quite a bit of swing on them to try and make me fall over
James cheers pal things to work on pal
-
The straight slap in the first vid was a lovely shot, that's gonna go past any bowler twice as fast as he's bowled it.
To me that's what batting so about, it is a competition between batsman and bowler foremost
Picking length and shot selection are crucial, but it's all about scoring opportunities
No good looking good, if it doesn't go off the square, I'm sure you've seen plenty of batters like that.
I'm a big kp fan, purely because of how he can destroy good bowling, he's worked on his Strength shots, and not focused on his weaknesses
The newer England lads seem to try for a similar freedom, one days anyway.
The gilchrist masterclass is interesting too and gives a good insight into his shot making decisions
There's a good lesson there for us all not to stand still with our game, there's always areas to improve and learn.
Fair play to you boss,
And if you want any tips on clearing cow corner!ha I'm your man

All spot on views

and then to tie in my bat to the session as i said dotball does bounce around 2in more than most grass surfaces so bat splatter mark as expected was at around
its how i get bats shapes this would suggest i need a higher middle but on grass it doesn't get as high as that normally.

-
Had a look at both vids excellent reactions and well balanced looks good off the back foot good shot selection apart from a pull to leg from outside off stump would lead with the head when driving and get the front foot out towards the ball otherwise okay
-
All valid points sir, What i will say is video tape sorry film yourself batting get a look at how you bat if you have not before you can really pick up some points.
-
Looks good dave.
All to sensible for me, but then that's probably why you've been more successful than me.
What camera did you use?
And is that rip in dotball a floor?
-

I used Mini ipad on a chair mate yes a little rip on first net mate so they moved it forward a touch.
Wish i could try them mental shots pal maybe soon, maybe a session or two with you pal get that tree trunk out !!!!
-
Braver man than me, Dave, risking the iPad like that mate! I'm also not brave enough to have my technique picked apart on here, either :D

Mate why not do it pal more should i have a very good coach who knows his beans so comments on here are taken but maybe not acted on.
I know my game but always looking to improve even in my late years playing.
Scoring runs is so much more than technical so so much more.
I watch this guy listen to what he said about foot and head he is very correct big foot movement is not required at all

and this man is a legend i listen to him great
ABV Box theory
https://youtu.be/6VHpsphdSrE
somebody mentioned a bigger stride here ABV mentions about swing so waiting it the technique i have been working on.
-
First video 3:05 best shot, played straighter and didnt try to 'whip' the ball too much.
Coming from a bowler, you're a decent bat... Still fancy my slower ball yorkers and sweet chin music though ;) ill see if i can sort out some of videos of myself at nets soon!
-
cool challenge accepted maybe come up for to Sheffield for a net pal it a bouncy deck at Dotball as @smilley792 will testify I would say 60/40 for the bowler always up for a challenge pal.
Not worried about short stuff most can't do it right anyway and most certainly are not quick enough to do it either !!!
I saw the other day you like batting on the machine above 85 mph now chin music who do you play for pal you must be a top order batsman at a premier league club and with chin music I can honestly say I have faced some of the world quickest in the leagues I have played in but fair play if your bowling 80 plus
-
Haven't watched the vids yet but having had a couple of nets with Dave I don't need to, to know that he is a very good bat. The wife is going out shortly so I'll watch them then
-
Not quite 80 but made the best batsman in our league struggle with my change up. Sometime I just bowl without thinking, if i dont know what length ill bowl im sure the batsman wont ;)

You play in East Sussex league 2 yeah??
Side in that league called hailsham. My old mate varun khullar plays for them, he won shot at he pros on sky a few years back.
He's quick, but I never minded his chin music in games(he tried to bowl enough) And daves a far far superior batsmen than I ever will be.

Haha yeah although he has gone back to India from what im aware!
The last game i face against him i actually found very easy to bat. But our first meeting he bowled 23 straight overs!

well if your who i think you are mate if your bowling nearly 80 clicks and can comfortably face 85mph short and all stuff your playing in the wrong league and should be playing much much higher mate !!!
I have traveled around England from West of Eng to Middlesex to some leagues in Lancashire people would be screaming out for a player like that pal :D
What number do you bat pal and open the bowling mate??? i may be able to get you some money club crying out for players of that ilk mate
-
back on the batting not sure if any of you watch the following worth a good luck at both series are good i think and can improve
I taught myself from a young age shadow batting i watched a game on telly and tried to copy my idol was Chris Broad...

@FattusCattus your my hero
He was pure class that day!! Shots that looked more at home at Lords!!
I am just confused that if I a operating the bola machine and collecting the balls, what is everyone else doing!! :(
-
I can here Canners thats for sure about how he picks bats !!!
-
Those ABD videos are great! I changed my stance and had to re-learn everything and his videos have helped a lot.
-
Haha yeah although he has gone back to India from what im aware!
The last game i face against him i actually found very easy to bat. But our first meeting he bowled 23 straight overs!
He goes back to India every winter
Looking at leagues stats. Plenty who did find batting against him easy 86 poles!!

Dont get me wrong he is a fantastic bowler! Has me fishing a few times! But im not a batsman so its ok :)
General chat was that he wasnt back for this season due to Visa, and not sure if you knew the other guy that played for Hailsham? Bokhtiar Rahman?

I spent around 2 to 3 hours a week trying to improve people who know me know i'm cricket mad and watch everything
Anyway this is me batting working on a few things...

Look good to me Dave. Technique looks solid. Just concentrate on scoring runs, play to you strengths and learn how to compile an innings. Technique looks fine.
-
What bat profile is that mate?

He doesn't make a bad bat either. The Buldog Spirit I got off of fattusCattus is really starting to ping.
