You have decent hands I will give you that and your what I call a hands player you don't really play with your body at all.

Agree with above points away swing or short pitched but you have lots of positives too.

Work on shoulder head alignment if you know what I mean. Head towards the ball as a pivot.

However if what your doing is working stick at what your doing.

I think there is a lot to like,  good bat speed and some nice shots. Not sold on the trigger but if it works then great. Echo other comments that a few short balls might give you issues. My main concern would be you look late on some balls coming on and the bat comes down crooked. I imagine some good balls coming back at you could cause issues. Some closing off of the face hint at this. Just work on you backlift coming down straight,  but looking good overall.

So with the next Southern net being tomorrow, i finally got round to editing the footage from the last one.

As last time, any constructive feedback is useful  Reading back on the previous comments I read that people would be interested to see how i fared against some short bowling and some away swing - both of which can be seen in here!
Also probably worthy of note was this was the first time i picked up a bat since the previous video, so I didn't have much time to implement the previous advise, but I tried a bit.

There's a guy in that vid who seem a typical net bowler.

Everything is halfway down track. Except one that bowls you. He doesn't seem to learn as he goes back to banging it in short
Love them guys.


I enjoyed your batting though.

Would only say you set yourself too early and rely on your arms to generate bat speed.

[GoodLeave]

Enjoyed that.

Most shots well timed, some good cuts.

Points to work on: You open up a lot in your set up, as the bowler enters his delivery stride you're almost front on. But I don't see it as too much of a problem because you've got good hands and very few balls are going leg side.

Overall, very good.

Was there any particular reason you really went after one particular bowler?

I don't know, it just always happens to someone

From my perspective bowling at you, I thought anything you had room to get your hands through you're pretty comfortable, but if I can cramp you up I'm in business - hence mostly aiming in at your waist or top of off. Trigger is maybe a bit open and a bit forward but doesn't bother me tbh as it plays to your strengths well and you get back quickly enough for the cut. What I would possibly change is the backlift - it's very wide and away from your body, almost towards point, which is what makes it hard to get the bat into line for anything closer to you. I'd give it a go tightening/straightening it up which should make it a lot easier to play those balls. Hope that makes sense, otherwise just keep on putting it away when it's in your area!

Maybe because of your trigger movement which is opening up your toe before the ball is bowled, you are playing most shots front on rather than side on...i guess staying side on longer will help.

I would say 2 things,

1. get in line with the ball  - you seem to be quiet a hands player which is fine because your hitting them well but just on the ones short on the stumps your going back and towards leg stump rather than back and in line with the ball and same thing with front foot as well. At the very least you want to covering your off stump to a ball that on or about off stump.

2. When your hitting lofted hit straight - this gives the full face of the bat which makes it a lot safer also generates the most power. The few that you did try to hit sort of squirted of onto the leg side or just over that old guy "no respect"

I enjoy watching you bat mate, some nice shots in there but what I enjoyed even more was @ppccopener's bowling his follow through is like he's trying to square up to you after you've knocked his pint over

Evening everyone
I appreciate it's been a while, but I decided to film myself having a bat on Wednesday.
Admittedly the camera angle wasn't the greatest, might have to try again next week but enjoy nonetheless
