You can't be out LBW if you are playing on the front foot? What kind of a rule is that one?

as i live in england and pitches here arent the best for bounce i stay still but plant my weight and my foot slightly forward, as then if i see a short ball i am still in a gd position to play it but most of them are full so my balance and feet are in a gd place.

my trigger movements are all wrong at the moment i really havent given them much thought untill saturday when a friend told me that i move my back foot to the leg side. i was bowled on leg stump on saturday and it makes sense as my trigger movements are wrong. i need to sort it out but it seems so hard as they just come naturally and you dont always realise what you are doing.

I've changed my trigger movement, so it looks like Sachin Tendulkar's. It's coming along great and its getting me into a better position to play the stroke.

I'm not much use at balls coming in at my pads so I stand out side legstump and then move back and across to middle and off. I don't get out lbw anymore but I do have troubles trying to hit widish ball on the off side towards the end of an innings. Do you think moving my stance from out side leg to middle and off will help for end of innings crisis?

I don't think graham Gooch had a trigger action. Just stood there and gave the ball a good spanking.

During the 03' World Cup. That one seems to be working for me.

  maybe move your front foot slightly forward only slightly and have your foot pointing to the covers
The First Century I ever saw was Heschelle Gibbs' 228 against Pakistan

my initial trigger movement has been banished....

during the winter season i decided on the shuffel, thats the start outside leg and move into position, a lil like chanderpaul. feels comfortable and lets you get into a good position on a ball that is not swinging...first game of the season was hellish i was bowled around my legs . now i dont have any trigger movements i wait for the ball to come to me. but if its spin bowling i like to get to the pitch as best i can.....

trigger movements are good for aggressive batsman, unlike me who likes to take it easy and pick my balls....

Instead of the intial movement of moving your back foot back, I move my front foot forward. It looks a bit like ricky ponting and it works quite well for playing drives.Try it

The problem I have with moving the front foot forward is I lose balance, it requires some practice to perfect it.

I usually do the back and across. I used to watch Dravid and Kallis a lot in the past year and kind of got it from them. I tried Pietersen's too but you feel very conscious of the movements.

I bat on leg and then just as the bowler enters his delivery stride take a small forward press onto middle and a waist high back-lift. Made all the difference spanked a 50 last year in a semi-final with two straight sixes.. never hit a straight six in my life- harder to play the leg glance but the drives are much easier and I can still hook- I can live with that.

Due to the ridiculously crappy wickets, it seems that I no longer can flick a ball off my pads because everything just stays down low the time I go in to bat.  Just 4 years ago, anything on my pads was accumulated runs to my name, usually dispatched for 4!!  Can't even remember the last time I got one single run from a flick off the pads.  I got to be more on the lookout for balls staying low and trapping me lbw.  Man, I'd give anything to migrate off to bouncier pitches so I can bat the way I use to.

In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.
