Post any videos of yourself batting, bowling, fielding here.
I would start you off with a video from last summer but It was my 4th rack on a hot day and I had lot concentration so Technically its bad!
Have been netting since October now, and will have my video analysis session with my academy soon and will upload the video then.

Liam, Looks like your falling over a little. Maybe stand straight on and avoid any trigger movements and keep your head over the ball.
-
Yeah game has come on quite a bit since then, hitting my first 50 and now in the academy doing one to ones, on Sunday I did 3 buckets on just leading with head and shoulder and keeping back foot planted

Coaching with Gary Palmer last year

-
some decent cut shots there renegade, what speed was the machine on?
-
from memory 70-80ish, not too sure, Gary was playing around with the speed
-
wheey on 2:17 on video 2 good shots
-
haha "rolling the wrists again...... its old fashioned bull****"
-
The problem with bowling machine, if the guy who is "trowing" isent trying to adjust the bowling machine some times, it gets to easy to just turn your front foot and wait for the ball...

If you are trying to "groove" a shot, you dont want him playing about with the speed, you want the ball in the same place every time so you can keep practicing it until you are happy you are playing it the way you want to.

Cheers lads.
-
Paddy how quick was that mate?
-
Colesy i think it was about 71ish, im not sure though. Dont realy ask what speed im playing :L
-
Lol fair enough. Making it look easy ;)
I got to 75mph before but that was too much for someone of my talent (or lack of!)
Back down to 65mph after :D
-
Put it on Photobucket
-

looking good my freind!

looking good my freind!
Thanks mate :)
-
youve got good balence, thats something that im working on in nets
-
youve got good balence, thats something that im working on in nets
When i train my balane on the drives, I try to hold my balance, when I have made the shot, by ending up standing on only the frontfoot, try that :)
-
ive got a problem with falling over to the off side leading with my head which means i open up the leg side a lot more but i would love to be more tecnically correct and start blasting them though the covers! cant wait to see what the new season holds :D
-
Practice, Practice, Practice.... :)
-
I had/have the same problem, try standing with a wider stance but don't open yourself up. Works for me :) -ish
-
I have my video analysis session at my academy today.
Will upload the footage when I get a chance
-
Just uploading my videos to youtube now
-
I have to get mine off of my P.E teacher, whether he'll let me or not is a different story

We had the whole group to film, so didn't have a lot of filming time each.
-
batting around your front foot leg side but look at were your toes point and your balance after you played the shot when on leg side but very good mate
-
Yeah, that is the thing I have been working on, I know have stopped most of the back foot movement/collapse
-
You look good Liam, should get more runs than a 53 this year....
-
Liam, i would LOVE to bowl against you.
Do you normally stand that far towards leg ? or is it deliberate to get you on the drive ?
Reason i ask is, if i bowled my rip leg spin about half a yard infront of your front foot. its either going to force an upwards drive, or bowl you ?
Just my thoughts :)
-
short stuff you tend not to get in line the open get squared up no back foot movement but when it is wide of you lovely looking shots.
get the back foot moving across to off stump and look to clip the ball of your hips
-
It looks good. One thing I noticed that'll be more important when the balls swinging around outside (not to mention the possibility of variable bounce) is when you're playing off the back foot, you're right (back) foot doesn't move (across) at all irrespective of where the ball is. So, sometimes it's in the right spot but sometimes it's a bit off.
He's playing pace in the videos, he might change it if he were faces "rip[ping] leg spin", Pinch-Hitter.
Sorry just realised that I've essentially repeated what procricket said.
-
I tend to stand on middle and leg, with a slightly open stance. You can't mark a guard on the mat so I can wander abit from 2 legs
-
not wanting to sound patronising you look a more than capable batsman but what i would do is ask for throw down where the ball pitches around middle,middle and leg and just stand in a position with your back foot on off stump-middle and off and just play off your hip mate.
if it was in a league game i would ask my quick to play the 3 card trick 2 short ones into the body then a off stump yorker .
your looking fine though as said elswere you should be able to score some runs and your looking good
-
I love fast short bowling, and I am very good off my legs. Not really shown in the vid. You would be better getting the dibbly dobbly bowlers on against me!
-
Need a bit of work on your balance as on nearly every shot your back foot is aside your front foot and you very open chested due to you not having any balance. You need to work more on your feet not allowing your back foot to move so much and staying square when playing drives etc. Your head position didn't look that bad so i would suggest standing a bit taller at the crease not tapping the bat so much and only one movement into the shot holding the position right through the shot.
-
core stability
-
i suspect somebody with real pace could and would hurt you with the squared up rotation on the short stuff.
but for a lad with a top score of 53 you should better that
were do you play
-
carn you talking l.t.a.d. values
-
ooooppssyy daisy
-

Play down in Dorset, Have a lad at our club, been clocked at 82mph, I love facing him, hooking pulling and cutting. Do get to odd nick off. Couple of drives but he rarely pitches it up in nets
-
i played agaist a Dorset development side last season there was a young keeper with glasses on think he was about 16 apparently he has gone on to play minor counties that season was a class keeper, game was at Blandford
-
Ahh right, not too sure who that would be, my age though. Left hand bat?
I just love that pull/hook, last shot in the back foot video. Would have cleared in field and shot of deep fielders
-
I would love to see you try and hook a 82 mph bouncer, not calling you a liar i just reckon the ball would win!
What evryone else has said is right, close off your stance or just get in line with a trigger, keep the hips in line aswell.
-
No word of a lie, towards the end of the net on wednesday, he bowled me a bouncer and I nailed a hook shot. Not saying he bowls at 82 consistently but that is what he was clocked at. He generally gets it around waist high as his stock ball.
BTW, he is Nicholls7 on here
-
got to agree with raymond anybody with any pace would hit you like i said the 3 card trick would surfice.
with your set up mate anybody with any gas would rip your ribs up.
not having a go just a point on the evidence you shown us
-
Yeah, alright. I am more comfortable with pace though. That was around 60/65mph. This was 2 weeks ago and have netted since, working on getting that back leg across. I netted today at the academy with a Dorset and Dorset Premier League bowler and was getting right in behind the short stuff. Loved facing him, but struggled against my coach who was bowling medium in swingers.
-
we all have flaws that can be worked out by a decent bowler i tend to go across too much but rarely get out lbw if ever easy to spot a flaw much harder to exploit it
-
not if you have bowler who can bowl 80-85 mph consistently in your side roco as you should know
-
its one of the better flaws to have tho, no major threat to your wicket
-
true but not that many with that pace and acurate below minor/county standard when i bowled that pace was not as acurate as i would have liked say 4/6 where i wanted them but yeah decent off legs due to hockey really annoys bolwers when work balls onto leg from outside off but start with all three stumps showing due to big trigger being 6ft 4
-
i will not lie when i get in i take a off stump guard.
i picked it up form wanye madsen a saffer pro i start on middle but once settled i move to off stump.
-
Well works great for me as bowlers see all three stumps so think easy wicket just bowl straight then my trigger comes in and get a few easy boundries before they figure it out to bowl a little wider hey dave you must get a few funny looks when you ask for off as that is pretty rare or is so in my circles
-
I take a guard of leg and I play predominantly on the offside but will put anything on my legs away. my trigger takes me onto middle so a massive LBW candid :L
-
roco the thing is i ask for 3 guards when i take wicket i think as wayne told me if you ask for off stump only then your on a hiding to nothing but if there is no movement either in the air or off the pictchand your set you should not miss a straight one.
i have always believed that a good player takes balls that are straight and either whips it through mid wicket or drives down the ground of course not from ball one but if there is no movement around and your set.
-
True anything straight I tend to deal with just learning to keep it on ground as major flaw was head coming up when playing ball so body followed causing aerial shots but sorted now I think but coach in side keeps saying to me don't walk across your covering your stumps but I always tell him I've been out 3 times lbw out of last 60 and one of those was dodgy left arm over swinging ball away from me a right hander hit me in front of middle with a stride and umpire gave it was on 76 at time so was not a happy bunny
-
as a keeper as well if i see not much movement in the first innings i tend to try to flick through mid wicket early in the air off a good length even if it outside off league stuff anyway to try and play a few mind tricks.
in some of the other games i play if i tried this i would be nailed
-
took this last night for a bit of fun not the best quality as on i phone(needs to be enlarged to full screen) and my mate sam does not have a career as a camera man but bowling machine at 75mph so not too quick but good enough for a first bowling machine session
http://s957.photobucket.com/albums/ae59/ajer2000/?action=view¤t=018.flv (http://s957.photobucket.com/albums/ae59/ajer2000/?action=view¤t=018.flv)
-
www.yorkshirepostcc.co.uk look under videos some great stuff there.
-
I'd love to see what standards lads play at that are posting videos, interesting to see the standard.....
Also, some of the nets people are playing in look terrible and small!! lol
And anyone ever face swing on the bowling machine? It's pretty good, was facing ball just slightly fuller then a good length and swing away one day at like 71, tough stuff!
-
face 5-10% swing when i was batting and our nets are new and normal size and was 75mph
-
Roco mate, you really need to stand more upright, your lent over to far bud...
-
i know but if i stand more upright feels way unatural and tend to lean back on shots as on heels plus i feel i pick up length easier that way but your not the first to tell me that we have a level 3 coach who keeps telling me off he gets very frustrated with me >:( but hey always looking to improve and am more upright than i used to be if you can believe it :-[
-
lol - to be fair mate play how your natural! I used to bat like that and have the bat very close to my body but have manged to change my technique last few weeks....
-
its a work in progress has took me 5yrs to turn myself from an opening 1st team bowler who would not bat higher than 10 in the 2nds in division 5 to an opening 1st team bat in div 1 batting against pro's i will never look pretty as a batsman but prob looks worse as am 6ft4

Is that at Ampthill? Recognise the nets and scorebox next to it. Played a county game there a few weeks ago, nice ground.
-
gj stop blowing your trumpet about playing county! anyway, you should have added MINOR county!
Go practice your doosra still haven't seen it boy!!
-
Doosra is in progress, but for now i'll continue bowling darts.
Anyway, are you going to get a bowl today?
-
Yeh - I remember in my younger days when I used to play County cricket for Hampshire!
Carberry and Adams used to open the batting with me coming in at 3.
That's Hampshire County Council 3rds! And Alfred Carberry and Freddie Adams opening! ;)

That is quality!!
-
Liam, who is the so called Dorset and Dorset premier league quick your going on about? And also your awful off your legs, you get bowled trying to moose it with your bottom hand all the time. Remember when you got bowled by a ten year old at redlands indoor?
PS Ash has never been clocked 82mph otherwise he would play a decent standard and not in Dorset Division 3! Like Stuey Fry who plays for Gloucestershire Academy!
-
ooooft! verbals flying all over the place!!
-
Love the action and not many of us been on sky bowling so an achievement
-
even at my pace :-[
did anyone recognise the guy i was batting with on calendar, ie. where have you seen him from?

Nick, I can't remember who it was. And Ash has been clocked at 82. And you have also been knocked over by 10 year olds and you play county!
I had no trouble facing stu fry earlier this year, got him at army camp this sunday and home next saturday.
And I have changed my game, I don't try to whip it off my legs unless it is on leg. not off middle anymore. And me bottom handed!? No
-
army camp blandford by any chance
-
army camp blandford by any chance
Yes
-
Even at you pace It still counts at least yours was positive my only claim to fame is being in wisden for having the funniest name in cricket lol
-
good deck is blandford plenty of pace and bounce
-
yeah, it is also always an experience getting in. With all the name tags and pictures. Takes toll on your ankles when bowling!
-
roco, at least you are in wisden!. I can only point to the Crawley Observer Top Bowling 2000 and a few mentions in the Wharfedale Rag for my batting efforts in Wetherby Div5!
Any advice on how I might break into Wisden?
-
Ha become the funny thing of the month I have brought the edition I was in next to an article about kallis and below jonty Rhodes so can't be bad
-
Change your name by deed poll to A.Hardcock and you will make the mag
-
Hey bit close to mine that Leo
-
You were my inspiration and he has to go slightly better!
-
At least mine was not meant for that it's just a married name but get alot of comments as you can imagine but works in my favour as always in the paper as the journo loves to put my name in
-
whats your name roco?
-
A.ruff-cock
Hence the ro-co
-
that is quality!
the bowlers holding the batsmen's ruff-cock
-
well me and pidge(prowannabe)
Decided we would try and record are selfs netting 2night with the bowling machine..
recorded on a (No Swearing Please) k850i so quality is gonna be dog (No Swearing Please) and are batting isnt gonna be much better will post you tube links up when done lol
sadly are 1st session didnt record which involved me getting hit in the balls with no box at 75 mph while pidge laughed his head off
-
come on lad get these videos up. i want to see how village i am haha
wish i had that video'd was hilarious. you went down like a sack of spuds.
thats what u get for squaring up and trying to drive a in swinging ball back of a length at 75mph 8)
i am lethal with that machine.
-
just sorting them now mate teach me for not wearing a box :(
-
sorry pidge me 1st lol
Simmy Dirty Slogger

Prowannabe the opener
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAHKlDSS0bk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAHKlDSS0bk)
-
Too funny we are village pal. Proper village filth :D
What happened to shot where I creamed the camera haha
-
i cut that out seperate as camera is black for about 20 seconds ill put that up later lol as attempt number 1 lol
-
I love how most people (myself included) just keep it around 70-75mph and just feed the half volleys all day long :D
Also like it when Simmy gets a pearler and the bloke feeding says "my bad" - whats that about, thats what he should be feeding you all day long!!!
I noticed with Prowannabee that you have a inside out arc when you come down on the ball - i do this and it's one of the hardest habits to get out of.
Nice bit of batting though - decent facilities by the looks of it.
-
the machine sometimes sticks so the ball doesnt come out immediately when fed thats why i said my bad :D
70mph in swing is nice and comfortable on a length. our astro is poor and anything other than a full length will either scuttle through by your shins or nip up and smack you in the teeth haha. the facilities are ok mate, not the best but they'll do for us, we never complain. Just a shame we didnt have a better camera. could have got some good footgae of simmys solitaire and my new ayrtek in action
-
Setting the bowling machine on 60mph leg spin is much more fun - the balls drift, pitch and rear past your nose over your shoulder!! :o
-
i think next time we will try 80mph and just back of a length off stick so we can show are selfs up haha
ill get a box and thy pad on for that tho lol
-
i think next time we will try 80mph and just back of a length off stick so we can show are selfs up haha
ill get a box and thy pad on for that tho lol
If you are going to do that - try using a middling bat and taking on the hook... that sorts the men from the boys!! ;)
Actually on second thoughts, you might want to give it a miss. However being, serious, if you are using a bowling machine regularly, using a middling bat, like this http://www.sportdiscount.com/product/6731/PS_MIDDLING_BAT - will really help you learn to watch the ball right onto the bat.
Most people when using a bowling machine just get used to where the ball is going to pitch and after about 3 balls start playing the shot before the ball is bowled, which ceases to be any sort of decent practice... it becomes like using a driver on the range you end up seeing how hard to can hit the ball at the expence of any kind of technique...
When you do start connecting with the hook with a middling bat at 75+mph you really are watching the ball.
-
looking good boys! been trying to get a bowling machine at our club signed off since the start of the season with no luck as yet! Good fun to face though but dont usually crank them up too high when facing one as dont think we would face anything over 75mph in our league!
-
same as us tom.. id say i dont think we face anything above 75mph ... not anymore anyway
alot of the fast bowlers in are league are getting old now so dropping there pace.,..
also depends what tracks like at a time.. i wonder if we could get hold of a speed gun as we have one bowler who is pretty quick on a hard track so would be intresting to see what sort of speed it is compared with the bowling machine
-
Yeah makes you wonder just how slow the stuff we face is in comparism to the county/international arena....when your opener is steaming in and hitting 65mph and you see Yardy chucking in his flipper at the same speed it becomes amusing!
-
was having this conversasion other day at cricket.... when pro's are picking bouncers up at 90mph and smashing them into the stand.. i find it amazing!
but at end of the day if you practiced it everyday with bowling at 80mph + am sure we would be able to pick it up once we are used to the speed.
i think me and liam will just try 80mph out side offstump and see how we can cope lol
-
im going to ruin you lad! cant video that. we wont be able to bat for laughing.... or crying 8)
-
when i put one out of field?
-
might get some more vids 2night lol
-
Please do Simmy.

Heres a game from last year, one of our teams friends does it as a joke. This was a bad day for us, not our best performance. For any of you that have played at Blandford army camp, if the batsmen get on top, you will suffer.
Footage of me starts at 5 minutes 11 ish with the change of bowling. I came back on to bowl the last over after every was getting bitch slapped around. The guy was on 91 and i bowled him first ball of the over. I then bowl 1 more ball and thats it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKyBjeErjBQ&feature=related
-
Ohh and when we are batting. The shorter guy that opens with the green masuri and slaz bat is my dad. I have now replaced him at the top of the order
-
love the video!
-
Have a look at this one.
I don't really feature in this one though
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6KeYv0fBTM
-
Well i'm the kid in the green cap at the end. My dad is the guy with the choco arm at the beginning.
I do chase a ball away to the left and throw it in but thats it. thats at 8 minutes 6 seconds
-

-
Very nice mate!!!!!
-
look very good!
-
Not directed at anyone in particular this, but why is it when people use bowling machines they feed each other friendly half vollies on off stump? I think that is a complete waste of time. When I do bowling machine sessions I work on short bowling, spin technique, back foot drives - shots that I have to use in a game where I am weaker.
The point of a bowling machine session is to work on weaknesses not pat back gentle friendly stuff.
-
I agree with your general point, though it can also be usefull as a confidence booster if your feeling out of form or just haven't had a hit in a while.
I may be off ther mark but people are also more likely to post videos of themselves where they look good.
-
You have watched me my mate is sadistic swing both ways plus different lengths every ball but I have the theory practice hard play easy does not always work but helps
-
Roco- that also defeats the object!! the idea is to face maybe ten balls for each shot you are trying to work on and do that over two or three bowling machine sessions so you are grooved and ready to go.
Facing 80mph lifting snorters isn't great practice too!!
-
That's not for me I prefer to be kept on my toes as if I know what ball is coming I set myself for it as you rarely get two balls in the same place in a row so helps me with slot selection although my mate does go over board at times with balls Anderson would be proud of on an over cast day
-
what speed is everyone using as we are getting one & only ever used one once & it had to be slowed right down to make a few adjustments to my technique
-
shot grooving around 60mph
shot selection around 60-70mph
and general net specific shots 75mph...
-
70 plus off 18 yards for most things and 75+ for the short stuff, otherwise the ball tennis balls too much
-
I use 75 mostly but 80 to push it but not very often but rarely use it as prefer the sidearm I find it more realistic and better practice just never been a huge fan of bowling machines But that's just me
-
bowling machines are good for shot grooving and getting used to speed if you play against any
-
not a fan of bowling machines, just find the feeding to mess me up.
side-arm is great though. but nothing can match someone actually running in, wonder what the pro batter is like to face?
-
will see how we go just remember taking a while to adjust as no trigger movements

Those were at 75-78mph with various degrees of swing. I do have my video of the back foot drives I was practising but for some reason photo bucket will not let me upload that video,the same goes for the 2 spin nets I had at the end. I've played with some very good players over the last few years and the common theme with them is to groove 2 or 3 of your best shots and use them primarily, the other shots will follow when your in. I like the cover drive so I practise it a lot, the same with the flick through mid-wicket and the pull.
-
Not directed at anyone in particular this, but why is it when people use bowling machines they feed each other friendly half vollies on off stump? I think that is a complete waste of time. When I do bowling machine sessions I work on short bowling, spin technique, back foot drives - shots that I have to use in a game where I am weaker.
The point of a bowling machine session is to work on weaknesses not pat back gentle friendly stuff.
Can't agree more, I hate it because you're playing the same shot/s over and over again when I need to work on the shots I'm not good at.
-
lovers nice! hit the ball HARD!
-
Uploaded some of my more challenging nets...
-
if your who im thinking of you play at woodhall spa? did you get the chance to net with fawad when he was there?
-
Yeah that's right. He didn't net with us because he was living in London. Had some throw downs with him before games- he was always practising his forward defence! He said all his game was based around it, batted with him a few times and put a couple of partnerships on with him. Don't think in his 8 games he played 1 cover drive though- all cuts and flicks.Great lad, top professional and passionate about all aspects of the game- with the crap surrounding Pakistan this summer, he was a credit to his country.
-
Fawad is crazy, last time I saw him net the bowling machine was on max off 15 yards!

I knew I recognised the net from somewhere!
-
Netted there before???
-
all you guys look like you have such good nets :(
the ones around me are terrible, too dark so you struggle to see the ball. or with terrible mats so the ball doesnt get above waist high. we even have mats with uneven bounce somehow ??? its terrible.
-
Let me know if you can see this.
Not me but the best batsman at our club imo.

go to 3.00 dead best bit you do not look to happy mate
I have warned my mate about you when you travel up to Settle
I hope ther pro is not over :(
-
yeah, I was beating myself up about how I played the shot. Felt it was too in to out. Spend most of my net sessions and innings having a chunter about my poor execution :)
-
this is there old pro not sure if he is returning
http://settle.play-cricket.com/profile/statistics.asp?id=11442071
-
14 out of 30 times he's made less than 30 - I can live with that. You shouldn't need a pro for a friendly, it's not what those games are about.

There a serious bunch at Settle got a few very good county juniors there
When the game Nick

My dad filmed me a week or two ago without me knowing so i have some footage to look at.
First one is bowling, second is batting. I dont think any balls have been edited out as i get creamed/out a couple of times, not sure though.
Grateful for any feedback and opinions, positive or negative dont hold back lol. Buzz please don't have a heart attack over my trigger movement :D
If it makes any difference im a top/sometimes middle order batsmen who bowls.
Cheers in advance.

forget the trigger mate you stay leg sided even with the movement if this is in your game fair play if not you need to work on moving that front foot
are you a little nervous of the ball.
No real foot movement
seem to have a good eye
what level do you play
A trigger is meant to get you in a position to play a shot not the end of the movement
sorry you said you wanted feedback
-

The trigger is something i started last season, id seen others doing one back and across and just thought it seemed more natural to move towards the ball tbh
are you a little nervous of the ball.
nope, i hadnt realised how much i was moving to leg rather than just playing the ball to leg
No real foot movement
agreed, thats something i really need to focus on
seem to have a good eye
thanks
what level do you play
Saracens West Herts League, Was in the 2's last year in Division 10 i think, should be in 1's to start with this season anyway ij Division 7.
A trigger is meant to get you in a position to play a shot not the end of the movement
sorry you said you wanted feedback
I apreciate your honesty mate, not going to improve if im only told good things am i :)
-
watch Trott and his trigger it is there to help him get into a position to play the shot
I have one thing to recommend mate
Use a full net without the trigger bat on off stump and see how you get on.
just try it
-
ok mate will do, cheers :)
-
also draw a line on the out rim of leg stump see if your back leg goes outside that line
-
That first lad bowls like I do
-
go to 0.16 with your trigger i can see all 3 mate look at were you are...
Like i said it can be easily sorted mate
keep enjoying your cricket mate
stop bringing your right shoulder into the shot it squaring your up
you play a lovely drive
go to 4,38 both problems are highlighted there
-
so its dr.dave now not detective dave
-
Yes Arron them days are gone
I enjoy coaching and enjoy reading about it both mental and technical side of the game
Buzz has some good theory and good points
Having a coaching badge is good but i like learning stuff and it not hard to with my brain.
-
Dr Dave has a ring to it....
-
may send you a video of me as was awful tonight

may send you a video of me as was awful tonight
id like to see it mate, have heard your a bit tasty
-
He;s a bloody slogger with a big bat Mike
Only kidding
-
not that big a bat and we are called agressive stroke makers DAVID
i will see what i can get together tommorow as i only have one vid and is with the old technique and no one wants to see that
-
i just had a net trying to change my trigger and way i stand etc.... worst net of my life it is not easy :( undoing 12 years of a badhabbit
-
your video is one of the best i think mate Simmy i bet you bat like that in a game looks natural mate.
-
Ive just come back from nets, does anyone else find it so much easier to time the bsll in the nets, im guessing its just the ball coming onto the bat harder indoors... no wonder all these pro's bats seem so good, the wickets they bat on must be similar to indoor tracks (pacewise)?
-
wait till u see latest one when nick has sorted it out.
im concentrating on not moving my back foot so much i play the shot and the balls allready gone through haha
im the opersite i strugle in the nets as the bounce is crazy and it just zips of the surface to much
-
I personally hate indoor nets. People walking behind the bowlers arm, everybody trying to bowl a million mph... not nice but I go more for social aspect
-
http://s957.photobucket.com/albums/ae59/ajer2000/?action=view¤t=70255be6.mp4
here you go for a laugh this was taken last year before i changed my technique so fire away the machine is set between 70-78 as thats what i was told
-
Did I spy a redback :)
-
watched you look good mate
4 observations
Good hand eye
slight hockey hand i call it on leg stump more bottom hand coming into it.
Weight transfers not always there sometime driving sat on the back leg
Some bloody nice drives there lets see some more varied length
Bowling machines are groove machines they can cause you to plant i notice when he changes the line a touch you still play down the last balls line i call it bowling machine tardiness.
Overall mate very good indeed
-
The bowling machine length was varied just it's slow low pitch so mostly front foot
I play hockey so that does come in sometimes
Rarely go on the bowling machine so not used to it but can see what you mean with following the line
Yes that was my redback that my friend brought/stole off me
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Ytq5JHnc0

very nice indeed mate you can sure put half vollies away on a true pitch.
Some blinding shots
Is it a forum trend to bat outside leg stump and have big trigger movements.
Lets see some short stuff in the ribs mate
-
With me it's a necessity as I have big foot movements so any closer to leg and I end up outside off plus I have tried no trigger or a smaller one but does not feel natural at all
-
I need to record myself batting, i've never seen myself bat
-
I have a question i know Buzz likes
Without looking what is the purpose of a trigger movement
-
Mine gets my feet moving as otherwise I feel flat footed but there may be a proper reason but that's what it does for me
-

All coaches have told me to use a trigger. It helps me get my head in line with the ball and keeps my head still making my balance better.
And got a net this saturday so will do!
-
All coaches have told me to use a trigger. It helps me get my head in line with the ball and keeps my head still making my balance better.
First of all, you're hitting those drives nicely
I would think that your current trigger is making your balance worse and your head less still. You're still moving when the ball is being released, this will make it much harder for you to pick up the line and length of the ball. You get away with it on this video with that full length.
You could just be struggling to time your trigger due to the feeding of the bowling machine, but if it's a regular thing you need to think of triggering earlier so you're still at the point of release.
Still, some really good shots there.
-
i cant view the video for some reason?

Ditto to the above - I would also say you will really struggle to play a drive to a wider offside ball.
nice shots though, espcially the on drive.
On the "coaches have said I should" comment. Coaches are frequently not right - I have tried a few suggestions with people in the nets that have been a disaster!!
I really don't think you need a trigger at all - being stiller at the crease will really help you. Just my view.
If you don't trigger make sure you are lined up right at the start with your outside eye over leg stump. One thing i would say about your trigger is that it does take you into the right position, rather than away from the right position. Anyway, the important thing is you do what works for you.
Alex RP I will pm you shortly...
-
Thank god you can't see my new technique buzz it's trigger happy ;)
-
the thing is - I don't have a problem with a trigger if it is done properly and adds something specific to your game. There are benefits to having one in some cases.
I just think that in most cases a trigger is introduced for the wrong reasons and that it is largely a modern fad in club cricketers and also the trigger is done incorrectly - perhaps taking you away from the correct position, done way to late (they should be done before the bowler enters his delivery stride, not during) and not allowing the batsman to keep their head still and eyes level.
People see loads of pro's with triggers and think that is what they should do. Against an 80mph bowler there is an argument to say a trigger could be helpful to get your feet moving and to get you on the balls of your feet and against a spinner a forward press is also a method that can work.
But almost all club cricketers face medium pace bowlers where 75mph is fast and 65 is normal. Against this type of bowling standing still and keeping your eyes still makes batting so much simpler and easier. Plus it allows your technique to be less complicated, so less can go wrong, you are starting in the correct position, so you know where your stumps are... I could rattle on for some time about the massive advantages of being side on, still and on the balls of your feet, but I think you get the message.
-
I agree people watch what works for the pro's not themselves for me my trigger gets my feet moving as other wise I am like cement as I have tried no trigger so would be fun to hear what you thought of my batting as I have not been buzzed yet although I have changed it slightly now
-
Simmy Mk2:-
http://www.youtube.com/user/uknsaunders#p/u/0/QxygqvpB2Ww
-
tbh i dont think i moved my back foot away to leg stump more than maybe 5 times in that net :D didnt feel very comftable but guess it looks tad beter cheers nick for posting. miss a few shots cos im trying to concentrate to much on my feet i think
-
didn't watch it all but you looked better balanced, which I guess is a combination of standing more upright and not closing yourself off.
-
Simmy stand bloody still mate your never stood still ast all no wonder you miss it get back to the old video much better mate
There no solid base on this your always moving
-
hmmm i thought i look more still not going back to leg tho defo didnt make me as cramped
-
you just seem to be walking all the time mate .
-
you looked like you were playing straighter, returning the ball back to the bowler instead of twisting it to the offisde. You only made a hash of things when you lifted your head.
-
Simon simon simon. What's with the little walk after nearly every shot or even into the shot sometimes. You seen
To stand up straighter and dint squat into your shots as much but your balance has suffered mate :( bring back the old simmy. You seem
To play with a straighter bat though
-
aye its cos i felt like i had to move forward or my leg wud go back again. i guess next time ill just try not move it at all
-
im not qualified to talk technique simmy but the one thing i would say is dont switch back to "old simmy" straight away, if your changing technique it wont be fixed in one session, give it another week maybe two before deciding wether or not the changes are working for you
my two pence worth :)
-
Tbh you did seem to play more offside shots than ever before ;) but that back leg has gone to pot. You've stopped squatting and jumping into your front foot shots but instead you wander aimlessly into them mate. Your dirty pinch hitting will struggle
With that ;)
-
i think when buz mentioned a little trigger movmen forward i dont think he ment a step down the track whitch is wat i seem to be doing alot there lol
sure it will come good in the end. Defo look better for not squating as much
-
Ryan up next:-

lets have a look at rybo then when all the quickies get at him lol
-
3.08 Massive hit lol
-
well im actually surprised. didnt look a too bad, thought i batted a lot worse than that :D
-
simmy u did play straighter though but just keep working on it mate, it wont happen overnight.
-
second half of net my back foot is kept still i think thats way to go.
-
Here's one for you all to have a good laugh at. Cranking the tennis ball machine even higher last night, and moved it further forward a couple of yards. Makes it unbelievably quick. Here's the first attempt at playing it, you'll see him get wrapped on the helmet twice in successive balls! Funny!

Let me know what you think, and we'll keep on making these videos. Any ideas for some new ones then let me know! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE? PAIN?!?!
-
I think he played that pretty well all things considered.
I note also that there are no signs of trigger movements with this just stand still and try and get out of the way!! ;)
-
i wud think that would be a an actual good work out and to help aid getting out of the way of a bouncer
-
Could do yorkers next, basically just try and get him out as much as poss lol
-
I have a mate of mine (no really) who is in some desperate need of some advice, his video is below:-
http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/headingleycricketclub/videos/fros-13796.html
I did mention to him I'd stick his video up and get some expert opinions on what he's doing wrong. He suffered a mare in this session and it's not the first time, so any help would be appreciated as he's getting a bit fed up.
-
Very little foot movement towards the ball also sometimes he takes a guard outside leg and steps across as the bowler bowls other times he doesnt...

its nice of you to help your team mates out, my mates tend to just rip the sh't out of me for having a bad season
-
just a couple of comments.
1. he doesnt seem to start with the same stance, it seems to change every ball.
2. seems to have a trigger movement but doesnt do it everyball due to having a different set each time
3. doesnt really lead with his head and foot movement is minimal
id say he needs to concentrate firstly on choosing a guard and sticking to it, then start to work on leading with the head and his feet should follow.
-
Agree with leo, think he also needs to control that back swing/pickup. Its all over the place. Comes in a big arc from gully area on some shots. Better control would help his eyes stay level and still.
-
first few things that strike me are that his knees don't really bend in his stance, his back does so his head is moving about a lot, eyes don't really seem level, and he has about as much foot movement as me ;)
-
its nice of you to help your team mates out, my mates tend to just rip the sh't out of me for having a bad season
We do that as well, but he's a terrible starter who has played some match winning knocks when he gets in occasionally. We'd just like him to convert a bit more.
-
i guess i have to expect it, i do dish out my fair share of pi55 taking
-
too much movement for me. need to be still
-
I've always felt he tended to "prop" forward early doors and push his hands at the ball. As Fros gets into his innings, his feet start moving and it becomes a different game. Trigger movement is a bit bigger than I remember and no doubt caused by the bouncer warfare that sometimes exists at our net sessions. I think alot of us go back and across to get inside the short stuff some of our lads fire down.

I think it is highly irresponsible for your professional to be doing this. Have you not seen the Fulton of Kent video? If I was your club chairman I'd be tearing my hair out. Much like your last chairman.

Ricky - A tennis ball could skirm through the grill or even bounce and hit him in the jaw - causing injury. Would you want your professional at your club doing this before the start of the season? Not sensible if you have to line up a sub-pro week in week out that you can ill afford until he recovers...
Skiing is fun - but footballers aren't allowed to ski because it's deemed a risk. IMO this is just as bad.

Who called the fun police...
Hardly unlikely a tennis ball will cause a serious injury and in my opinion more of a risk for the pro rather than the club if he doesnt play he won't get paid simple. Better stop our pro from using the internet typing too hard could damage his fingers and risk him missing the start of the season.

are you for real? a tennis ball might give him a bruise, not much more
and yes, i have been hit by a tennis ball, a full-blooded serve into my cheek, it stung like (No Swearing Please) and i had a massive red mark, that was all
and i think a club can cope without a pro for a few weeks
-

i stand corrected ricky. i didn't realise you played tennis with professionals serving at 100 mph. in that case tbarnfield maybe get him to do it without a helmet then if he'll only get a massive red mark?
cope without a professional? not if it's mandatory to have a professional.

Outlaw I was talking about the club and the professional as one - not sensible on either parties. The club loses it's pro who they have to replace (may cost more for a sub pro), disrupts the balance of the side, no coach for seniors or juniors for a period of time and of course for the pro who will be out of pocket.
so a tennis ball at 100 mph wouldn't rupture an eye socket or break a glass jaw?
-

Probably not considering...
1. Its a tennis ball
2. By time it reaches him it will be traveling considerably slower.

I don't play with pros, far from it, professionals serve a fair bit over 100mph, 120mph is about average.
He could do it without a helmet if he wanted, but if he can wear a helmet that will stop 99.999% of tennis balls that hit it without pain then why should he not wear it?
If its mandatory to have a professional then some people take cricket far too seriously.

Let me know what you think!!!

Some of his cut shots were decent.... if he'd have stayed in line....
-
Looks like he enjoyed it. I hate indoor netting with roll out mats witha passion, end up playing early on shots in the 1st few matches.
I'm going to video a of myself and a few of our lads netting next saturday. We have been lucky enough to have the last 3 saturdays netting outside. Shame we have to do an hour of cardio before netting!
-
Oh, that made me feel better about my batting...
First match a week tomorrow for Uni, buzzing!

What university you at tumo?

Cardio before nets, that sounds like proper cricket training

got one uploading now with any luck of my first outdoor net
-
here you go this is a mixture of good and horror shots as was first outdoor net plus sorry about the trigger buzz :D :D :D
any comments welcome
many thanks to simmy for help converting

looking ok roco still falling over i still think your a caught around mid wicket to square leg little upish due to you falling over.
I would not ball or give you width inswinging around leg stump starting just outside off
-
yeah no batsmen is perfect but hey something else to work on
-
you look fine just work on the weight transfer on the leg side muckka
-
what you mean the over balancing
-
A trigger is a movement designed to get you in a position to play the ball all round the wicket.
I keep seeing triggers used as a final movement and people trigger then play from there away and round there body thrus losing balance and weight distribution.
Triggers are not designed to be the finished movement
-
i use mine to get the feet moving otherwise i am very flat footed but i see your point and taken on board still waiting to be buzzed though ;)
-
Cardio before nets, that sounds like proper cricket training
it is toooo much like real training. With my 'frame' i am more of a net person, dont do much running in slips :D
Need all the help i can get with the new 2'14 monster i have been netting with. Goes like a gun!!

Let me know what you think!!!
I'm sure all the forumites have had a good old chuckle in front of their computer screens over the club pro facing 100mph bumpers a 3rd teamer backing away from pacey bowling in a dimly lit sports hall. However purists will ask just what is the purpose of these practices? To reproduce an amateur movie clip resembling American Pie or to tune one's reflexes and oil batsman's techniques ready for the cricket season?
I think CCC's former Pakistan test star would have had little difficulty in dispaching these throat balls off the Bola with, but I'm sure he would have made practices more professional. After all what are we going to be facing in April? Not Brett Lee bowling on the WACA.
-
I don't think that all practice needs to be precisely situation specific. Exposing a 3rd teamer to some pacey bowling in a dimly lit hall may not realistically represent what he can expect to face come the first round of matches, however it can serve other purposes. Although the bowling did not appear to be played with much confidence, such a session can boost the confidence of a player when he returns to facing bowling of a lesser pace. Also just how easy is it to recreate English conditions in April whilst indoors?

A good point made! I think BJH & RDF should perhaps train together. I can imagine regimental and over analysed cricket practice could be great fun ;)

Me a couple of years ago batting and a local college academy on the bowling machine on 75 mph each colour ball comes out differently , still having a little problem with walking into my shots anyone got any advice ? any feedback will be good cheers
-
I have a similar problem, I've been told to rest a bit more on the back foot before playing a shot so that you have more balance when playing a shot.
-
but at the start of the video i dont do it ? its wierd dont know if its just in my head sort of thing
-
It also seems that your defensive shots are going too square and they should be coming back straighter.
-
roco mate did you ever have any bat handle breakage?

If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be wearing right handed batting pads and a right handed thigh pad on. Not really helpfull, but thats the first thing I picked up, lol :)
-
haha yeh thats correct mate , its a college academy sort of thing and dont bother taking my gear becuase it will just end up getting nicked lol .
-

why is this mate ? is it because im opening the face too much ??
-

no it is bacause of you back foot - which is also the reason why you are falling over after every shot.
As the ball is bowled your back foot slides backwards which takes you out of position, knocks you off balance and turns you "around". I bet you are a bit of an LBW candidate too...
In simple terms you need to work on keeping your back foot still and batting (especially playing the short ball) will be much easier for you.
-
Buzz do you ever use the ball trick behind the back foot trick i do when building confidence in younsters maybe possibly could be used used here. or a cones for h&s reasons
-
right ok sounds about right lol funny thing is i dont get out lbw , infact didnt get out lbw all last year .This video was a couple of years back i suppose do play down the ground alot more , ill try and get an up to date one see if anything has changed , i still move my bankfoot a little bit .
-
I've only been out LBW once in my life mate
-
Wait till this year will you will be out a few times with some of the umps last year a ball hit my thigh guard at 6ft4 and the ump gave me out before anyone appealed
-
Was that one time , a dodgey decision ?
-
I personally thought it was sliding down leg but can't complain
-
Nope blatant cheating as we were winning chasing down 230 we were 170-2 when I was triggered for 87 then a few others there are a couple of umps that can be relied on to do it as teams provide there own qualified umpires
-
I've only been out LBW once in my life mate
seriously?! i had a stage last year where i was out 2-3 times in a row, i know my problem, lack of foot movement, i just plant my front foot lol
-

I don't really coach youngsters - but I wouldn't use a ball for that - I might tape the foot to the floor and underarm some tennis balls first to a kid doing that - an adult I would expect to have the mental control to not move his foot.

fair enough.
If I was bowling at you i'd be bowling full and at your middle and leg stump - but if you have changed it a bit fair enough. If I had a quick bowler i'd be getting them to bounce you out!!
If I was coaching you I would work really hard to lose that back foot movement as by getting rid of it you will massively increase your legside scoring options as well as improving your balance.
-
haha yeh thats correct mate , its a college academy sort of thing and dont bother taking my gear becuase it will just end up getting nicked lol .
Haha, nice. Knicking cricket equipment is low, why cant they buy there own.
-
Very low and they have there own but knowbody has too much gear , most of the yorkshire lads just lent it out anyway , better gear then mine lol
-
Haha, nice. Knicking cricket equipment is low, why cant they buy there own.
Too right, I had the best bat I've ever owned nicked along with my back up and a brand new pair of spikes, to say I was fuming doesn't really begin to cover it.
-
i've been out twice lbw in my life, one was very much on leg and a young sunday umpire gave me out without any appeal except a whimper form the bowler, but that is life,
the other time was so out i could have walked!

Being a lefty id say my strong point was scoring leg side ,the back foot moving leg side is very little now , i but even on that video the two/ threes i play leg side , they are properly my better shots in the video. But i can see what you mean ,Noone rapid in my league got kyle hogg of lancs and tino best is in it this year hes gunna have me in bits.

1.32 lovely shot

They are both decent bats them two. 1.32 was our captain, he is decent behind the stumps. Bloke he is batting with was our overseas for 2 years. In one game he managed to get 10 wickets and a ton.
The scorecard is a little to be desired!! His name is Cameron not Grant lol

Now here comes the excuses haha

u try picking ball up when u cant see it untill its half way down.
tell you what next week u can bat in my glasses and see how u do!

Don't the bowlers go to net sessions?

deal :D
-
has anybody had laser treatment for there sight?
i fancy getting it done
-
I've wondered about it as my eyesite problems make batting tricky. True I can bat fine without glasses but I am short sighted and when I wear specs it does help ie. picking up the length quicker and seam position on the ball. However, I also have one eye that scans left/right and another that scans up/down - this causes me real problems picking up flighted deliveries and one eye is more "oval" than the other, that's a problem apparently.
-
I have to wear glasses for distance stuff so I asked about it last year. I was told that because my prescription isn't that strong it would work but that it would most likely leave me needing to wear glasses later in life for reading.
I just ended up getting daily disposable contacts to wear when I play. Didn't think I'd like contacts but they're fine and I can now read the scoreboard which is handy. Don't think they made much difference to my batting though as I scored more runs in 2010 without them - but then again wild cross line swings with my eyes closed probably doesn't help.
-
Don't the bowlers go to net sessions?
how rude? glad im not a seam bowler lol

First real hit of the season at Lords, after this first round of balls they told me i should just follow through and drive that sort of ball, very hard to get used to having grown up in Scotland where driving on the up is pretty much a no no.

u keep very still :)

I can't (or couldn't) bat for (No Swearing Please). Too many years of playing on low slow wet wickets means I plant my front foot a lot, and really struggle when the ball is short. Also my bowling carried me to a level way above my batting so for years I never batted much and didn't have any real incentive to improve. Now I play on Astro's with tiny boundries, so since it's a batsmans game I fugured I may aswell try and become one.
P.S, feel free to have a swatch of the other guys videos, and have a guess which one captains Norway!
P.P.S or to give me any pointers (though I appreciate that's hard for such a short clip), I will stick up osome from nets in the future as they lack of any qualified coaches over here is probably holding me back a little from joining Fattus and becoming a real batsman!
-
Fairly defensive video below taken around Xmas 2011 over on my stint in Oz. Like I said nothing expansive in there, just working on balance and picking the right ball to hit.
I've been through it before a million times and I pick out a few key points which I've sorted by now. Namely getting squared up on a straighter length ball/tucking them into midwicket when they should probably go straight. And playing a bit inside out through Cover/Point.
Any comments/views/tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated! And before anyone asks, I don't know or care in the slightest what speed it was at, I just like to bat!

-
Can i ask why your pads are so so so low down on your foot? with just your toe sticking out? why do people do this?
I think it's a common problem with these pads, I remember seeing a 12 year wearing a pair and falling flat on his face whilst running. Pretty funny
-
doesnt look like its a problem for him, hes done it on purpose by leaving the bottom strap so loose
as soon as i see this, i just think 'Poser', sorry if im wrong
-

I do that too lol

Poser ha
I tried it in nets out of curiosity, and people cant find it comfortable to run in, its too loose, feels like pads just gonna come off
-
Poser ha

I've always done it, I think it's because I always used to have pads that were to big for me, and that was a way of compensating. But now I do it out of habit, I have the bottom strap fairly loose
-
Class Video Calum mate! Good to see you still rocking the GM pads haha
-
I do cop a lot of stick for them, teams climb straight into that early on! But Thats where I find most comfortable, and I do have pretty skinny legs so I force them down as much as possible as they are small mens I struggle to get pads to fit!
White stump was there from a previous drill, but it's always a good guide of you knowing what you can leave. Cheers for the comments so far, even though most of them are along the lines of "Poser" so far! ha
-
didnt mean any offence
you look well organised in the video, like a left-handed me :)

You look very solid to be honest so can't really comment.
-
Was a fairly defensive video, on a reasonably comfortable pace, so nothing rapido. Just find it makes such a difference seeing yourself batting, confidence wise and just for the novelty of it, because okay you're in the middle batting but, you rarely get to see yourself
-
A defensive net? A curious concept, perhaps I should give it a try!
-
hey everyone, not been on here on a long long time. anyways first net of the season, thought id share with everyone how it went! Sorry about the very very bad video quality, was done on a phone camera, and sorry about chirping in a dif language (i'm sri lankan). starts around at 65mph- and gradually to 71mph. with around 2 clicks of outswing. I was really struggling with the ball moving away last year so I was trying to replicate that! at the start of the net I was batting without a trigger, added a bit of a forward push towards to end to make sure I get behind the line of the ball abit easier! :) tell me what you think!

Any coaching tips?

For Mr Saunders,
I'm no expert but sometimes your front foot press means you are playing around your pad if the ball is pitched up and straight.

totally agreed and it's something I'm trying to remove. Don't mind pressing but the foot goes ever so slightly across and that's not the idea.
-

not in the context of the other bowlers lol. Though I think you'll do a job as a backup seamer in the right conditions ;) . Dunc did bowl me a good one. I slow mo'd it and I played down the right line, it just left me late. Always difficult to know whether to play for some swing and risk one nipping back or push the hands at it and cover the late swing if it happens. Pray you don't nick it and move on :)

St Chads is a postage stamp mate. The wicket was on one side of the square it was 30 yards max one side and only 50 yards on the long side. Wicket was wet and no site screens, amazing they are allowed to play a good level (Wetherby Div 1). Really too small for proper cricket.

if that was too me ? yeh it was tough today as they had laid down a load of them black balls for the 3g and it wasnt very stable under footing .. he was actually bowling a pretty good length for a proper pitch .. but as the astro isnt great some are easy to play.. once he found the spot near the end it does a bit !
-
Unless he is sharp normally, the length should always be making you come forward early season. Too many cuts and pulls when he should be making you drive 90% of the time.

Our midweek league has a tv channel. That was lost when play cricket decided to ruin there site,
I have just managed to convince the committee to use YouTube instead.
And here is one of our games.
http://youtu.be/n10MIO4soUk (http://youtu.be/n10MIO4soUk)
That is the midweek premier, and due to the fact the editor seems only interested in wickets and not much also. Makes it look very amatuer.
Odd six though
We do have professionals play in our league(amazingly). Jaco castle be one of the south africans, and he appears in this vid. Enjoy, lol

After a distinctly average start to the season I had a 30 minute session with the bowling machine last night just trying to carve out a bit of form. I did a bit more than just working on driving but here is a little taster of my desperate search for the middle of my bat.

clip of a catch from some work using a katchet ramp and a bowling machine
-
Started up autumn/winter nets a couple of week ago.
Decided to film a session and I haven't edited anything out other than when I pick up the balls etc, so this is an honest account of an average session that I do (less the last bucket which I had to leave out because it would not let me load a clip longer than 15 mins for some reason).
It is two buckets of driving, two of cutting and one of sweeping.
Nothing extravagant because I practice trying to hone my technique, not T20 styled manufacturing of shots. Having said that, I play some upper cuts in the cutting buckets.
Feel free to critique, and/or comment on "style like" etc. Thanks in advance.

Vic, that is a pretty interesting and unconventional stance I must say you get into before the ball is delivered. Is that something you have always used or something you have developed over time.

That trigger movement is courtesy of my coach who has reshaped my technique over the last 4 years. Before that, I had modelled my game on Graham Gooch's set up since I was 12.
The trigger movement across my stumps works for me.
-
Not a bad trigger movement, although it does get you in trouble when playing the cut shot. You're almost shaping up for that every ball, and you're trying to cut balls that are too close to you which you should be driving off the back foot. Just my opinion!

I end up doing something similar when facing a bowling machine, it's just the missing all the visual cues and the need to get set a bit quicker.

I find that against the machine, the trigger movement is far more exaggerated as it not triggered by the bowler's delivery. I hate the machine for this reason!
Ive tried to lose the trigger Ive used all my life because I was a walking LBW candidate last year. Found I was getting across all three and then not moving my feet again!

Two months on and here is the next instalment of preseason bowling machine practice.
All constructive criticism/feedback welcome!

Love the soundtrack...
You might benefit from watching the Mark Ramprakash videos which were posted yesterday looking at your grip, stance and backlift.

The soundtrack seemed to get softer every time you played a good shot. What pads are you wearing?

Resurrecting an old thread as there didn't seem to be any point in creating another. An edit of my first hit in a number of weeks with my coach yesterday, a bit rusty and a few things to work on. My first video on here - Please feel free to comment/give feedback/advice :)
Apologies for the quality, my GoPro doesn't seem to like the indoor lighting

That's Jason isn't it? How do you rate his coaching mate?
-
Yeah, it is and he knows his stuff. I've been using him since May last year and in my first session he had me sussed after 5 mins and made immediate changes to my technique. I feel a much better player as a result of his coaching and it helps me that he's quite strict in terms of what he wants from me when working on a particular aspect. I've gone from not being confident against the bowling machine at 55+ to quite happy at 65.
-
Here's one from me, helmet cam footage so not that interesting but first net I've had since I got the camera on black friday and thought I'd give it a whirl, few of us from my club had a post-christmas hit about yesterday.
Criticism of course welcome if you can come up with any based on a hemet cam video!

That video was on my fb page earlier! Jason is a good coach, strongly recommend mate. I used to go to see him regularly, though I'll hopefully steal a few minutes of my brother's session on Sunday.
Nice guy, really helped my legspin, but my batting transformed under him.
He might have even though highly of me, sadly only as a net player :(.
Need the mental side to come good this year .
-
^ too much movement with the helmet mounted camera. If you're looking to assess your technique, you're better off with a stationary camera set near the opposite stumps.

Ha yeah of course, I just wanted to try this out in nets as I'd modded an old lid with a tripod mount for it, will be fun to use in midweek friendlies during the season I reckon.

Only got to 1 minute and got fed up of the bowling. Maybe the worst net bowling I've ever seen!
-
I had more fun watching the leftie in the net next to you!!
-
You look a good bat mate! I agree with Buzz, that left hander smashes it

Have to agree the bowling is poor, where abouts is this place you're netting at?

A lot of hard work and determination to get to where i am this year, massive changes from 2013 that have really worked.
Enjoy

Yes, i agree. all bowlers were from lower division. I will try posting another video if possible with better bowling. It's just the second indoor practise and during Sep to Dec there is practically no cricket because I am here in Canada and don't have the facilities/demand etc. etc.
-

I am located in Vancouver, Canada.

Footage from my net on Tuesday evening...
http://youtu.be/Nduuzo5cp7k (http://youtu.be/Nduuzo5cp7k)
Noticeable moments:
2:02 - getting cleaned up by a Yorker
And the 3 times I actually middled the ball:
5:11 and the last 2 shots from 8:35 onwards.
Also people my notice a new slim line @uknsaunders in the video. He's been working hard on his fitness and the rewards are showing!
-
Those bowlers could do with some coaching
-
Those bowlers could do with some coaching
I at least had a decent excuse of bowling left arm around a tripod and pretty much ending up in the side netting every ball. The left armers overs have no excuse.
-
This is the follow up to my video last week.
In the last video I was shocked to see how big my natural trigger was so the goal this week was to keep the back leg as still as possible. I'm aware my front foot movement is still rather extravagant but I'm hopeful over the next few weeks of netting I can get this out of my game.

Not sure who you have been talking to, but I think you look a lot more compact at the crease in this session. I think there is a big improvement.
-
If he could only stop getting yorked by left armers ... :D
Can't really talk, here's a compilation of forum members getting out to left arm overs in the last net session.

More concerning it's 3 forum members!! Haha
-
Whoa!! some serious talent here! Cannot compete with you all at the moment, so don't want to make an ass of myself by putting up a video of me playing :D
-
Got 3 videos and would love some feedback. They are on Google drive, but these links should allow you to view them without joining etc, the videos were gunna take too long for Youtube!
Couple of points..
1. Yep, there are some pretty horrible shots in there, don't bother telling me about them haha.
2. The music in the background isn't mine....
3. Speed is around the 65 ish mark, not really interested. Bar one at 50 just concentrating on bringing the bat down straight.
4. Yes I always wear my pads that low...

Thanks in advance folks :)
-
pads look bonkers!!
you look pretty solid in my view - the only issue I see it your tendency to walk through some of your shots - especially your leg side ones. You might want your bowling machine feeder to tweak the line of his bowling a little more too so you don't get into the habit of planting your front foot. (not saying you do - just saying it happens when people spend a lit of time on the front foot facing a bowling machine)
Looks like you had a load of fun with that session!
-
Thanks Buzz,
I generally score 75% of my runs square of the wicket, driving straight and through mid on is something I've never been too great at, I'll concentrate on getting a base going through the legside. Previously I just whipped everything to midwicket ish. But it's something I'm working on.
I had an issue last year with the bat coming down wider than my body, but it looks as if for the moment thats settled down without too much issue.

Here's a collection of deliveries I bowled on our trip to Lords last month, likely a bit rusty with it being the first bowling in a while but really left like my bowling was completely void of any zip at all. Any fellow finger spinners (or coaches) got any pointers to work on before i bowl in anger again.
Thanks

Im not usually one to comment on peoples actions but can i suggest watching G.Swann bowling and watch his front arm, really follow through.

Rather oddly it's quite hard to find good videos of spinners actions.

-
This was a 15 minute session batting in pairs. I have edited out the footage of the guy I was batting with, and taken out all but one of the wides near the end (by which time I'd lost the will to keep editing!)
Turns out I actually got to face just over 3 minutes of legal deliveries in the session!

What net set up does your team run cam??
Seems to be youthful bowlers across all nets. Yet the batsmen all look senior?
Some striking there, the bounce seems unrealistic for spin mind, well is to our sat pitches.
-
This is a pay £5 and get a bat and bowl session. There is a coach operating a bowling machine in one of the end nets who will do one to ones with 4 players a week (done so everyone will get one session with him before people start going back for another go on the machine).
The colts/Academy players train for an hour before this session where the youngsters all get a bat. They paid £60 for 12 weeks in advance but can stay for the 2nd hour free of charge (a blessing or we'd have 5 nets booked out and not enough people to fill them!) in the net I was in there were 4 "senior" players, including myself and 3 Academy players who wanted to stay on and bowl.
As for the bounce the mat was down to try and make it turn more (which it does) but it does seem a bit too springy when the ball pitches, can't say I've ever played on a deck like that! Was nice to have a hit though so I can't moan.

Thats why I don't bother with batting in nets. I wait till its dry and then spend hours in the out door with a couple of mates and the sidearm.

I used to have my bat exactly where you have it (facing fine leg). what i found is that i struggled with a lot of leg side shots because i had to bring my bat around my pads. With some coaching I have changed this and can now play the ball on the leg side with a lot more balance.
-
Gave my Red Ink a very overdue first outing yesterday against the bola, so here's a video of its' first go against some pretty gentle ones, taking it easy to see how ready the bat is and also practicing off side driving a little (not a strong shot of mine but one I want to improve as I've moved to a club with a very low bouncing deck).
http://youtu.be/bIvKNPoWKRI (http://youtu.be/bIvKNPoWKRI)
Bat was excellent! Unfortunately after one bag of balls my camera went on strike so didn't get any more useful footage on better speeds etc, but any tips on improving my drives/front foot play would be good, struggled last season trying to play my usual back foot game on slow low tracks.
-
...but any tips on improving my drives/front foot play would be good, struggled last season trying to play my usual back foot game on slow low tracks.
Practice working on a forward trigger which will bring you to your front foot faster. I play on backfoot and this technique (discovered during a match) paid-off well.
-
For me your left shoulder goes to leg so you are always opening up and coming through with your right shoulder. Set 3 stationary balls on the floor for a cover drive, extra cover drive and off drive and practice hitting them with your head and front shoulder (left) going at the ball. You can do this simple exercise at home, before a match and training to make sure you are getting in the right position, greasing the grove.
-
Might be the camera angle, but your stance looks quite open and your bat is coming down quite wide (from the sort of gully region).
You might find playing on the off side easier if you close your stance and get your bat coming down straighter.
-
Thanks chaps. I think the camera angle does exaggerate it, but agreed I am quite open. Been working on picking the bat up straighter after falling into bad habits, might try going a little further with it. Point about the shoulders is a good one, will work on it next time. Hoping I can add a bit to my game on the off side without spoiling my strong leg side shots, after to moving to Bristol's low slow puddings last season Sunday away games with bounce you could trust were a blessed relief!
-
Your stance and pick up looks fine, the bat is discing into out because you right shoulder is coming through, correct this first don't try to change to many things.
-
Only started playing again last year after a 15 year absence, only got the one vid of me playing. The vid is real short and I think this is either my first or second ball faced in over 15 years in a pre season friendly, the bowler was pretty handy.

Net session vs seamers from 27.02.2015
As with last week I have edited out the wides and ended up with not a lot of footage.
In this video I don't really get my timing going and get pinned near the start which lead to a fair bit of short bowling! :(
I also notice as soon as I watched it back my bat is coming down too wide again, old habits die hard I guess >:(

@WalkingWicket37
Full whites at nets looks village.
Where's the Nike bat from?
And is your trigger movement natural or forced? As seems different all the time. And occasionally a big lbw candidate.
-
@WalkingWicket37
Full whites at nets looks village. Agreed! That's why I'm not wearing them ;)
Where's the Nike bat from? I'm not allowed to tell you as the use of fake stickers is not encouraged on this forum lol (it's an MSR with eBay stickers!
And is your trigger movement natural or forced? As seems different all the time. And occasionally a big lbw candidate. The one where I just go accross is sort of natural/was coached into me from a young age. When I'm going back and accross it was deliberate as they were quicker bowlers, but watching it back I'm going a long way accross.
Thanks for the feedback mate. I noticed straight away my bat is coming down straighter this week, and in turn less is going to the leg side.
As for triggers I'll speak to a coach next week and see what they think, cheers for pointing it out though, I had no idea I was stepping in front of all 3 stumps to play some shots!
-
why is wearing whites village? I've never done it before but have started to recently as I might as well use the kit I'll wear in games and is designed for it than use my normal training kit.
-
It says so in the "bible o village"
In amateur cricket there are 3 types of people.
White haters- there the ones that white up 2 mins before fielding. Change for tea and as soon as there batting is done.
Normal people- they white up with 30 to 20 mins of play started. And stay in whites until the equipment is away. They may even have a pint in whites.
The whiteout brigade. These are the ones that take the brunt of the banter. They arrive 2hrs before start already in whites. They stay for drinks, in this and drive home in them.
Hell there even seen in meet up car parks for away games sat on the car bonnet in whites!
And even the later don't train in whites! As its just village.
All jokes aside, I think it's the "all the gear no idea" view. The guy that tends to turn up in all whites at winter nets is the one that has alot of heart, but very little talent.
But there's always exceptions, not that any off the pros practice in whites. Special training gear. Shorts, thigh and chest guard outside there shirts etc.
-
And in this case it was even more village because it was full whites and black trainers! Cardinal sin
-
not sure I take what the pro's wear as an indication as they get all teh gear given to them etc. Oh well, I'll keep doing my nets in whites. saves my training kit for fielding training as I'd never do warm ups, fielding training in whites. I have been wearing black trainers though as they are old and it saves scuffing up my new ones :)

Couple of videos from the back end of last season, coming back from a neck/shoulder nerve injury so lacking a bit of top hand at times.
Fancied a bit of range hitting....Some agricultural swipes included in the uncut versions!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTZBqPOgT2k (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTZBqPOgT2k) - Less feet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzibCl8o-mA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzibCl8o-mA) - Better effort, much more assured.
-
u really whack the ball!superb talent bro, do post more video next time
-
Couple of things... Certainly a different technique... Don't know I've seen too many batsman who hold the bat like that with the face directly at the bowler and chopping it down on the inside toe edge...
And I want a bowler who bowls half volleys at me all day long lol
Good vid mate
-
Just do what I have to to get the bat down straight, I think that's possibly a bit more exaggerated than usual because I'm putting so much bottom hand into it, but it's definitely quite open a bat face normally too! I think the v's of my hands go straight down the spine as opposed to the textbook way, I'll have to check back to see if it's changed a lot!
Yeah that's absolutely not how I'd train, just fancied clearing the fence a few times! Half volleys on the machine does no one any good!

your stance and positioning looks good though

I thought this! Don't you know the forum rule?! Set it to half volley length and show everybody how good you drive the ball :p
-
Does look like 90mph (despite what the machine said) maybe its the camera fooling me! Maybe i should wait till i get on the bowling machine to repost what my batting is like 👍
-
Sorry guys forgot to read the rules. Next video I'll go back to basics only half volley drives!
I just wanted to work on my reactions, working on getting into positions and picking up the ball a lot quicker so rather than late cutting some of those balls over off stump I'd rather be pulling them. (I got 1 away near the end which was quiet pleasing)
My sessions are set up as
4 rounds Spin
3 Rounds Front foot 70mph
1 Round Front foot 95mph
3 rounds back foot 70mph
1 round back foot 90mph
Another rule... We need to see pictures of all your kit! Sorry mate but rules are rules ;)
-
Ahh crap that my bad sir, I will get that up in one of these sections very soon.
Haha!! Top man
-
Whats the idea behind batting against 90+mph on the machine?
-
Who you playing for nowadays mate good to see you back on the forum
-
Two months on and here is the next instalment of preseason bowling machine practice.
All constructive criticism/feedback welcome!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIqUvxR2GB0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIqUvxR2GB0)
By straightening the back leg it pushes your head and shoulder forward and over the ball. It'll help you point your leading elbow a bit more and you will have more power through the check drive!
Good luck and have fun!

Sorry but there's no way that's 95mph!! Batting looks good tho
-
Not using normal Bola balls? Look a bit tennis ball-y to me..?
-
Battery or mains running the machine, did think it looked very gentle for 95, when ours is at 90+ you only see the ball drop into the machine and then hit the back wall.
-
2:42 you are plum!! ;)
-
might have been some speed dropping after the camera is off the speed! lol
-
Haha yeah totally you caught me! As i'll get a huge cash reward for being able to to play 95mph but now that you've caught me I won't be able to claim the prize money.
And yeah haha it felt plumb when it hit me
To be fair you have made a bit of a noise about it being that fast, see the video name and shot of the machine before starting.
-
High class cricketing nerds here, no fooling us!!
-

That behaviour would never happen to the Stig (note the bola was originally set at 85mph off 17 yards - which is very fast):

I've been working on a few things over the winter. Trying to play with a stronger top hand , higher lift of the bat ( see photo ) not planting of the front foot as much. I know there is lots more to work on but here are a few mins from Tuesday net.

Only got two short clips that a friend took today with the machine set to a bit of spin, but interesting to see myself for the first time.
I'd describe myself as liking to just punch the ball with the minimum of body english :o :D

Hard to see you guys allllllll the way back there ( 2km long pitch ? :D), but was that your prime ministerial candidate in the next net ?
Btw , your batting looked good . Very punchy and you drive a bit bottom handed , but thats fine , it works . I'm sure you know your game though . Oh , hope i can bat like that first net back after a major injury / long layoff .

Mr Williamson?
Tried to move the camera round a bit to get him. He was unreal and a top bloke. Calling "shot" if you did a good one and giving good banter if you missed one. His shots were next level. It was very cool batting next to him.

I think the bad back that I have had for a while means I can't really bat away from my mid zone too much. Yeah sorry about the long pitch was my first time.

Some more Videos uploaded today. I was focusing on my 1st Xl boys but Kane Williamson is in the middle net again. He was training for about an hour and training different parts of his game. When the coach was using the Sidearm they were absolute thunderbolts.
Had a good chat about his gear also. He doesn't change weights for different formats, just uses the same bat for everything until it dies. Pads are exactly the same as we get and they are small mens. Uses Stretton Foxes. Doesn't like the new GN gloves something about the leather so has stocked up on last seasons. Said he loves cricket gear as well. Absolute champion bloke and had lots of time for our young lads.

He's the Northern Districts batting coach. Ex Black Cap Matt Horne. Great guy as well. More bouncing ideas off each other, asking for feedback. I don't know how he doesn't injure his shoulder with all the throwing he does, seems like batting coaches need to have good shoulders from what Ive seen.

Promise last one of me. No Kane this time. Ive moved the camera up and its in HD now so easier to see. Second bat back after long break. Just good to have other peoples feedback as I often miss stuff. Cheers.
P.S I got hit in the guts early doors and I think thats why I sat on the backfoot all session lol.

This is the new bat I'm using in the Vids. Copied bat from Black Cap Dean Brownlie's GM. Very big all through the blade. Big toe (25mm) and Shoulders (20mm). 42mm edges and about 60mm spine right through the bat. Weighs 2.11 and feels that. Huge sweet spot and the heaviest bat Ive used.

Giant bouncy castle runs and cricket nets =perfect. Dump the kids and have a net. You win.
P.s. you need to complete your trigger earlier so you can get your feet to move into position better. (Or ditch the trigger) that will help stop you being pinned.

@Buzz I actually did even know I had one until the videos. Could you explain what you mean by completing it earlier and how that helps please? Cheers.
-
I think @Buzz is referring to the double (sometimes triple ) quick bat tap and tiny forward press of the front foot ( but , he can correct me if I'm wrong :D). If you can have less time gap between the single tap at the start and the double/triple tap you might then get the forward press completed earlier .
When i watched your vids i thought only positive things other than 'geez he's still tapping/pressing so late , it looks like he's depriving himself of response time' .
I agree with Buzz in that you would potentially get pinned less often on the crease with only a half (or not fully extended) step forward if you had that fraction of a second extra stillness ( from trigger completion ) before ball release.

Cheers for the advice. Do you mean hold my weight on the back foot when the bowler releases the ball with only a half step front foot? I will definitely be working on the trigger movement next bat. As I said to @Buzz I was unaware that I had a trigger movement. Cheers mate.

I think if you finish the double tap a bit earlier you can complete the forward press a bit earlier thus being still for a fraction more before delivery (it looks like , on occasion , at point of delivery , your feet are still in the process of doing their trigger .... sometimes it looks like your bat hasnt reached the top of its backlift (is still on the upward arc) aswell because of the lateness of the tap).
If you were still , at release point for a fraction longer , then you could get a bigger stride in forwards , and not look pinned on the crease/only having a small/half step forward . Also , if you were still for that fraction longer , you could move further back when deciding to go on the back foot .
In terms of the trigger/front press itself , i don't think its how big or small it is , rather that if its not completed early enough , your weight will be taking you to that predetermined position during delivery , at which point its harder to adjust to going fully forward or back etc .
Perhaps , expermiment with your tapping a bit . You tap , then wait , then do two or three quick , light taps right at the last moment.....as an example, if you did one less quick tap at the end , that might give you that extra fraction of a second to complete the trigger before delivery ( this is actually an issue that steve smith worked on early in his international career ).
Having said all this , its only a small thing , like i said earlier , your batting in general , looks really good . I like how compact you are and you keep your shapes really well . You look like someone with time at the crease , so if you didn't deprive yourself of a moment via the lateness of the trigger , you'd be the kind of bat that looked like they had all the time in the world .

He's also my only test victim, bowled and would have been stumped of it hadn't clipped the top of off. Had alr day made about 70 odd mind you. Was a great guy to chat with afterwards when you were only a kid also.

Had a tinker tonight. Tried the early trigger for about the first few minutes and last 4 mins of the video. Definitely helped as you say with getting forward so will explore that. When I stopped doing the trigger I thought I was standing still before delivery only to find out on video that I was doing the small step trigger again. I honestly don't even feel I'm doing it and my shots were still ok. I think the early trigger for faster bowling will definitely help. Thanks @Biggie Smalls and @Buzz Ive been critiqued before and it certainly helps.

@potzy248 . No worries mate . Funny about trigger movements heh ?.... we develop them for a reason , so even if we try to stop them they tend to come back . So , i think the key is to embrace them in getting the positive out of them ( to coil up and prepare /get synced for delivery ) , but not have them get in the way .
Cool that in one session of a little tinkering you're getting an insight of what modified /early trigger completion might mean for your own game .
Personally , i had a similar issue not long ago . I felt if i didnt have momentum going towards the bowler ,via my trigger , at delivery point , that i would be later on any bowling 70odd mph or quicker . Turned out to be counterintuitive ie / with my trigger finished earlier ,and a bit more stillness at moment of ball release , i feel that im about 5mph better off (in other words , i feel i have the same time now when facing 83mph as i used to at 78mph etc).

Also , having watched the vid in full..... when you finish tapping earlier your trigger steps are larger . When you are finishing your taps later your steps are smaller ( as if you are interupted in travel /trigger steps by the arrival of the ball ) .
It does look like you have more time with the earlier trigger completion . But , the earlier trigger completion is having the effect of the steps being a true one-two /front-back foot shuffle trigger .
Look at where you finish up . Is that where you want to be ? If so , cool . If not , work towards that earlier trigger completion but with similar , smaller step distance( in that trigger movement) as like before ( to me that would be the ideal). For the moment , the shuffle might just be exaggerated because you are consciously trying to do something a bit differnt to your current instinct.
I guess ,if you feel like you like to play on the onside a lot , then the larger shuffle /trigger movement could really work for you (think steve smith , but not to that degree). If you feel you want to play more to the off (or evenly to both sides of the wicket ) then smaller shuffle/trigger would probably be better for you ( or if you like how that bigger shuffle feels , then you can tinker with taking a guard more to legside than currently , so you still wind up in the same spot ).
All just part of the tinkering process , just feel them out , decide yay or nay , and don't think too much/too negatively about it while batting . You can look at footage afterwards.....and ultimately, you can abandon the tinkering if it starts scrambling your batting instincts too much .....so , no sweat ! :D

Been adjusting things a little in nets so far this winter - noticed through coaching and about of video that I'm fidgeting about far too much pre-delivery which isn't helping my consistency (which wasn't great last year), so I've decided to try a trigger as a way of consolidating that fidgeting into one movement and then staying still. Gone for just a small step straight back as I don't want to change too much, just move myself into a still position before delivery. Still need a little work as I think I'm triggering a bit late some of the time, but it feels good and I think I'm picking the ball up well more consistently than I was before. Plenty of time to wear it in before the season, any feedback welcome.

Looks good if you ask me but a fair few times your triggering and then not moving again meaning you compensate with your hands which is fine indoors with naff all ball movement but when you get outside and it's seaming etc this becomes a problem. I had the same issue and really struggled because of it through early games when the decks favoured the bowlers. Only way out of it is forcing your head right to the ball and your foot will follow.

^ How do you get out the most?
The camera angle is limited and I can't see the ball trajectory at all but here are my observations...
Your hands tend to fall away from your navel/body area and you make a last second adjust when lining up the bat. Most of the time it works fine but against a quick out-swinger, pitching from middle-off, will have you reaching and edging - 5:04 -5:11. Because your hands are dropped away, your bat is arching from a wide angle - gulley position to straight 4:51. You should've nailed that cover/off drive in 4:52 but the ball went square. Anything that pitches middle/leg, you are cleanly putting it away on the on-side.
Keep your hands close to your navel area and line up your shots with your shoulder dipping first (while keeping your hands close). That would keep your bat's arc straighter, coming down from 1st slip line, instead of gulley or wider.
-
Cheers for the input gents, I'm not too worried about not moving my feet much post-trigger as long as I'm transferring weight well, that's always been how I've batted and I tend to do well when the ball's doing a bit.
@InternalTraining - must be the angle throwing you off bud, the one I've played and missed at was 5th stump rather than pitching middle, just should have left it! I'm pretty confident with my general technique so not looking to.mess with that, off the top of my head I've nicked off once in the past 3 seasons so not concerned there. Change to a trigger is aimed at getting me on more consistently still positions and picking up the ball bettermore of the time as a result, made too many slight misjudgements or silly mistakes last season.

So. First chance of an outdoor net due to the rubbish weather.
Getting used to the ball boucning higher than 10inch took a few balls.

A little bit of sidearm action from my practice session on Monday. Hopefully this works... - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-mgFVODF5m_7vheDh1SVSQlhv8aK6qUg/view OR https://youtu.be/t81LT1dYE1Q
We did this for a little bit after taking some throwdowns and bobble feeds. Things I am trying to work on this winter:
- Hitting the ball later
- Engaging the bloomin' left side of my body (it's lazy, very lazy) particularly when leaving the ball but also when driving through the offside
Things I am taking from this to work on:
- Falling over a touch and missing out on deliveries outside of leg stump
- Bat coming down with a slightly angled face and therefore losing me some power
P.s I bat with a slightly open stance but with my backfoot lined up to point - it stays like that when I drive the ball... ;)
Any tips or drills I could put into practice then please let me know - or anything you spot please flag it up. I am relatively comfortable with my game at the moment (knowing I score a lot on the onside and being happy with that has helped) but always looking to improve.
-
Hi Dan, many thanks for your thoughts, it's always good for me to hear about my game from others. I'll always listen to anyone as I think its quite easy to blinker yourself especially when in the moment, so thank you.
I think i'm going to keep working on really getting my head to the ball and hoping it drags my foot into place / gets him actually moving for the time being. I know my front foot starts on middle and when the ball is outside off gets to off stump for the majority of balls, even those drives outside of off. Looks like it's going to be lots of throwdowns without a bat and catching the ball at our next session on Thursday - get my head and feet going some more.
I think from watching myself back your point of just falling forwards is correct. I also think adding to it, that I am falling forwards towards a mid off area, rather than what would be preferential and falling towards (If i was to fall at all) the stumps at the other end.
It's always good to have a go at whacking a few at the end :D we try to find balls that are swinging nicely out of the sidearm and play as a full innings when we can but when you know there is only a few left its good to get your hands through some. Thank you once again for your thoughts.

Why did he miss the second ball and why did the fifth ball not go where he wanted?

Good technique. Question for the batting experts.

Second one I just missed I think - machine was supposed to be set up for straight/off drives and I tried to play it through midwicket. Maybe head fell across a bit if I'm being critical.
Fifth I have a tendency for my shoulder to dip down the pitch rather than to the ball, which means I end up cutting inside it slightly (bat path out to in) - normally ok wide or straight but that one demonstrates what happens when it goes wrong and the ball is in the 'channel'.

Think your head was the key to the 2nd, fell right across if you pause the video.
Think you're also right about why sometimes you weren't hitting where you wanted to, think it's too much right side and not enough left side which causes you to open up and slice

Looking good mate! Where abouts is this ? Looks a nice set up

A local club to me Warminster they have a very nice indoor school - though there’s far far to much bounce and it’s very quick

Sounds like oval indoor nets, where medium becomes pace bowling 😃😃

I have a tendency to do this too. Only tip I could give you is when you're next netting put a bat behind your heel of your back foot so you make a conscious effort not to step back

I overcame this by developing a subtle back and across trigger movement

Story of my life this haha. I had coaching to stop be doing this. Basically put a stump on the floor behind your back leg. and if you touch it you will know you are doing it. Eventually i stopped but i do creep back into it now and again. it's frustrating

Hi All,
Been working on a few things over the last year or so really trying to simply my setup and just let the bat flow. A lot of people would say that having my bat down as I now do would hamper the cross batted shots but the cut and pull are actually some of my strongest shots so the change hasn’t been to the detriment of that at all.
I play Lancashire league which isn’t an ECB prem but is the same standard. I’m a middle order batter and my job is to just go out with good intent and score quickly, I’m at my best when I’m not really thinking about anything when batting.
Had a net this morning with top quality bowlers and then this short throw down session afterwards.
Any comment welcome!
Also I’m going to post a picture of my kit in the 2021 thread next week when my second pair of spikes arrive so look out for that

@King pair Some lovely shots in there mate, not that I'm qualified to judge too much as I'm not much of a batsman!
Only comment that I might make is that you look like you get a wee bit cramped up sometimes when the ball is angled in to your front leg/hip? Maybe something to work on with someone who has the technical know-how to look at it.

Funny you say that actually, our pro this year said something similar to me. Suggested maybe opening my front foot up a little so I’ll definitely be trying that on Tuesday.
I don’t usually struggle on my
Legs though so it may just be abit of rust.... hopefully

Good to know I'm not talking complete rubbish all the time then 😂
You're probably not far off the mark about just being rusty, I had my first proper hit of the year yesterday and I missed about 5 straight ones before I hit one cleanly!
-
Nice to hear and see people have started nets 👍
Mine will be starting next week, I'll find out how rusty I'm 😀
Think you'd a good first net, keep enjoying.

Just had my 1st net, did middle a few drives, few cuts, used gn kronus butterfly bat, which felt just perfect to me.
Bowlers were so much so incons that didn't know what was coming next
Bowling went better than I thought, was tired after 1hr! I have work more on my fitness than anything else

Second bowling machine session of the season on the following link:

For context, our bowling machine provides what can only be kindly described as ‘natural variations’ and our net is a little bit prone to inconsistent bounce - I know I could do with getting further forward.
Any comments?
