I tend to stand on middle and leg, with a slightly open stance. You can't mark a guard on the mat so I can wander abit from 2 legs

[procricket]

not wanting to sound patronising you look a more than capable batsman but what i would do is ask for throw down where the ball pitches around middle,middle and leg and just stand in a position with your back foot on off stump-middle and off and just play off your hip mate.

if it was in a league game i would ask my quick to play the 3 card trick 2 short ones into the body then a off stump yorker .

your looking fine though as said elswere you should be able to score some runs and your looking good

[Liam-SCCC]

I love fast short bowling, and I am very good off my legs. Not really shown in the vid. You would be better getting the dibbly dobbly bowlers on against me!

[Watsontotty]

Need a bit of work on your balance as on nearly every shot your back foot is aside your front foot and you very open chested due to you not having any balance. You need to work more on your feet not allowing your back foot to move so much and staying square when playing drives etc. Your head position didn't look that bad so i would suggest standing a bit taller at the crease not tapping the bat so much and only one movement into the shot holding the position right through the shot.

core stability

i suspect somebody with real pace could and would hurt you with the squared up rotation on the short stuff.

but for a lad with a top score of 53 you should better that

were do you play

Play down in Dorset, Have a lad at our club, been clocked at 82mph, I love facing him, hooking pulling and cutting. Do get to odd nick off. Couple of drives but he rarely pitches it up in nets

[procricket]

i played agaist a Dorset development side last season there was a young keeper with glasses on think he was about 16 apparently he has gone on to play minor counties that season was a class keeper, game was at Blandford

[Liam-SCCC]

Ahh right, not too sure who that would be, my age though. Left hand bat?

I just love that pull/hook, last shot in the back foot video. Would have cleared in field and shot of deep fielders

[raymond]

I would love to see you try and hook a 82 mph bouncer, not calling you a liar i just reckon the ball would win!

What evryone else has said is right, close off your stance or just get in line with a trigger, keep the hips in line aswell.

[Liam-SCCC]

No word of a lie, towards the end of the net on wednesday, he bowled me a bouncer and I nailed a hook shot. Not saying he bowls at 82 consistently but that is what he was clocked at. He generally gets it around waist high as his stock ball.

BTW, he is Nicholls7 on here

[procricket]

got to agree with raymond anybody with any pace would hit you like i said the 3 card trick would surfice.

with your set up mate anybody with any gas would rip your ribs up.

not having a go just a point on the evidence you shown us

[Liam-SCCC]

Yeah, alright. I am more comfortable with pace though. That was around 60/65mph. This was 2 weeks ago and have netted since, working on getting that back leg across. I netted today at the academy with a Dorset and Dorset Premier League bowler and was getting right in behind the short stuff. Loved facing him, but struggled against my coach who was bowling medium in swingers.
