Hi all, Thank you very much for helping me out before. This week I noticed a problem with my batting after a weekend game. I am not a big hitter but singles and doubles are more my game. I was in a situation lately where we needed more than 9 an over, and had to bat with bottom two...

Thank you very much SLA nd sage. Any drills to improve middling, or generating power? The grounds are very slow here up north, so a well executed cover drive will get you a single most of the time.

Hey guys, Its been a while since I posted here, got busy with other stuff in life, but time to get back to cricket after having a season off. I am working on my batting, but it seems like i am not able to generate power at all through my shots. I am doing many things wrong. I am posting a...

Re: cover driving Keep your head down and hit from right below your eye level cheers

Re: How to prepare a ball for the swing bowlers I usually wait for couple of overs before choosing a side to shine, and also it helps to sine the seam as well.

Re: High catching Hi Mas, Yup got together with couple of my mates and after a few attempts, I realized that the problem was that I wasn't watching the ball all the way into my hands, I would watch it until it reached me, then take my eyes off the ball. It's a good feeling when you know...

High catching Hello, Recently, I was playing a very close game and the opposition were chasing our modest 220, and they lost 7 wickets with about 40 odd runs and a set batsman still in. I was fielding at long on on the ropes and the set batsman hit it really high, long and hard, and I...

Re: batting tips also, Have a set routine Trust your routine and ability

Re: Back foot shots against a quicker bowler hey, thanks (David, right?). I will give bowling machine a go, and also perhaps its time to start 'sock' practice. I guess I was getting frustrated because I wasn't timing well. Cheers

Back foot shots against a quicker bowler Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. Last weekend, I was facing a relatively quick bowler for the first time and I struggled to play his short of length balls. I use a trigger movement much like the one suggested by Gary Palmer here. So I go back...

Re: visual cues Hey Liz, Thanks for pointing out that I should be paying attention to the whole action, not just the hand and ball. I remember in the last net, I was facing a new spinner and I did notice after playing few of his deliveries that his approach is faster (much faster) when he...

Re: visual cues Thanks Liz for the reply. I wasn't too sure about which clues should I even be looking for other than you know wrist position during release and grip. Now I know, but I am still not sure how to interpret clues from head and shoulders, trunk and hips. I guess this is where...

visual cues Hey guys, Lately I have been thinking about how to read the bowler from his action/approach etc. I was wondering if you could share what information do you use to anticipate the type of ball. I know there are research papers out there, specifically this one: "How do...

Re: trouble with senior players and thus concentration Hey guys, Thanks for the advice. For the past couple of weeks, I have just been ignoring the negativity and just focusing even harder on my performance, and it seems to be paying off so far. Also, other senior players encouraged me to...

Re: trouble with senior players and thus concentration Hey Ward, Thanks for the help. I am no longer a junior, but I am one of younger guys in the club. There is another senior player that I can talk to about this, and I think I will do that. And as you said, I should just focus on my game...
