While doing all that stuff (high back lift, adjustment for movement, variation etc. etc.) you need to middle the ball by trying to keep your bat straight and adjustment for the late movement at the same time. So if you do it with a half bat, all that stuff is taken care of at the same time. If you do all that stuff and don't middle the ball, it's not going to get you a long time to stay at the wicket when you actually play in a match.

Feel free to enlighten me.
See my response in the batting thread, you use it when perfecting stance, positioning, mo0vement, etc - which you do without playing a shot.

Bradman used to hit the ball with a stump against a brick tank, and the golf ball would fly off sharply at different angles due to the cracks between the bricks.

Can I be the light tower for you Kerm? If this the only thing that matters then jugglers would have been the best batsmen, which they clearly aren't. It interalia includes practicing to improve your eye, middle the ball with straight bat, high back lift, practicing your shots, adjusting for the late movements etc. etc. so it's not only about this one thing. And with a rolled up paper you just cann't do all that stuff properly. And most importantly you cann't do nets like that, can you?

To learn cricket, one doesn't necessarily need to be a carpenter. Well keepign aside the fun,  if you get satisfaction in doing it by yourself, it's just great, coz money can't buy it. And this even gets better if you have got nothing else to do and want to kill the time for a revenge.
