Always get bowled through the gate to a ball that is swining in (but also sometimes when its just straight!) to right handed bowlers. I am left handed. Any tips or things to really watch to make sure this doesnt happen as easily??

cheers

get a bigger stride in, will get you closer to the ball so it cant move as much after pitching. also helps you from not playing down the wrong line of the ball.

by any chance do you lose balance after you get bowled?

[peplow]

i honestly dunno mate.. :S usually too pissed off to realise!

[Mr Cricket]

bat and pad close together, thats the simple answer!

[Colesy]

lol I have a habit of planting my front foot. I agree with Ian though sounds like you need a bigger stride

[Mr Cricket]

i plant my front foot, leaves me as an lbw candidate big time! difficult habbit to get out of aswell!

LBW 6 times last year, before that I was never LBW lol

[Mr Cricket]

umpires in my league arent good enough for the standard of cricket, i had 7 or 8 LBW last year, it just kept on following me

[Colesy]

I know what you mean, a couple of times I hit it! lol

I have same problem as peplow either get bowled through gate or snick off :/

[Colesy]

open your stance and play more legside to right arm over?

[tommo256]

i am right hander I play to much legside :L

[peplow]

i am a left hander and my stance is mega open anyway haha

[Colesy]

maybe close your stance and be a LBW candidate :L
