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.

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!

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

edge · « **Reply #458 on:** February 18, 2015, 10:46:49 AM »

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!

Stuey · « **Reply #459 on:** February 18, 2015, 11:22:30 AM »

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

Won't need too many off side fielders for your batting Cam!

Blame the bowlers!

Did you not see that cover drive at the end of the video?
