youve got good balence, thats something that im working on in nets

When i train my balane on the drives, I try to hold my balance, when I have made the shot, by ending up standing on only the frontfoot, try that

[Mr Cricket]

ive got a problem with falling over to the off side leading with my head which means i open up the leg side a lot more but i would love to be more tecnically correct and start blasting them though the covers! cant wait to see what the new season holds

[THERUBIN]

Practice, Practice, Practice....

I had/have the same problem, try standing with a wider stance but don't open yourself up. Works for me -ish

batting around your front foot leg side but look at were your toes point and your balance after you played the shot when on leg side but very good mate

[Liam-SCCC]

Yeah, that is the thing I have been working on, I know have stopped most of the back foot movement/collapse

[niceonechoppy]

You look good Liam, should get more runs than a 53 this year....

[Master-Basterd]

Liam, i would LOVE to bowl against you.

Do you normally stand that far towards leg ? or is it deliberate to get you on the drive ?

Reason i ask is, if i bowled my rip leg spin about half a yard infront of your front foot. its either going to force an upwards drive, or bowl you ?

Just my thoughts

[procricket]

short stuff you tend not to get in line the open get squared up no back foot movement but when it is wide of you lovely looking shots.

get the back foot moving across to off stump and look to clip the ball of your hips

[tommy2tink]

It looks good. One thing I noticed that'll be more important when the balls swinging around outside (not to mention the possibility of variable bounce) is when you're playing off the back foot, you're right (back) foot doesn't move (across) at all irrespective of where the ball is. So, sometimes it's in the right spot but sometimes it's a bit off. 

He's playing pace in the videos, he might change it if he were faces "rip[ping] leg spin", Pinch-Hitter.

Sorry just realised that I've essentially repeated what procricket said.
