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!!

[Simmy]

i wud think that would be a an actual good work out and to help aid getting out of the way of a bouncer

[Colesy]

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:-

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.

[alexrickyponting]

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

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
