I'm agreed with the others the foot movement is taking you in front of all 3 and at times you can sometimes see the base of leg stump. But if you like the feel of a trigger maybe start a bit further towards leg stump maybe outside so it's putting you more in line. Also do you find when the ball swings away starting on the line of the stumps you sort of square yourself up ? It looks like your pushing a bit at the ball and that back hip is coming round and squaring yourself up. It all looks very fidgety I get first few nets you try feel for the ball etc foot movement isn't great and what not. Maybe try be on your toes a little bit more and wait for the ball a bit longer. Also Northern monkey do you remember the name of the guy at upper wharfedale your referring to ? Sounds a bit like eggleton to me ?

Must have been over 25 yrs ago
It was a Sunday cup game and when we arrived he was cutting the outfield, which looked amazing as did the wicket.
They batted first and scored huge,(think it's still a record?) with the old boy scoring loads
I'm sure his wife did the teas too?

It may just be early season habits but you want to get out of them asap also all this information everyone is giving a. It does help but b. Can get too much inside your head leading to loss of confidence and overthinking technique. One thing I suggest will help with the squaring up is in your stance stand more side on so try get your front foot in level with your back just make sure it isn't in front of the other so when it comes to the offside your more inline and your a lot more side on it will make leaving the ball a lot easier as at the moment your front foot starts on the line of leg so anything outside off you almost have to double step to reach it. Also you'll find when you play outside off stump it tends to feel unnatural and your balance will be off. So to narrow it down close up your stand be more side on you'll find you can pick up the ball easier as you are more inline. See how that goes for you. And fair enough northern monkey the ground is very picturesque is a rather small boundary. Standard wise they aren't as good anymore they have been in bottom div for last few years. I think that record got broken again by upper wharfe with a lad scoring 340* in 40 over which is a fair knock they ended up scoring 440 or something like that. Who did you play for ?
