Help with ball timing and when to move towards bal

Yeap you guys are on too it. It is a very interesting question and I must say that when the timing is out it is hard to find what is your trigger to get it back. One drill that has helped me was to just trying to stay as dead still as possible for as long as possible. Even for longer than the time you think you have. This helped me to focus on watching the ball and to realise how much time there is!!Do you think that is a good drill?

Cheers

	I second Michaelb. If you are watching the ball closely, everything else will fall into place.

	Everyone is slightly different so I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. However, I do think there are some basic mechanical principles to batting that everyone needs follow to be successful. When the ball is released you should have your head and eyes as still as possible. This will allow you to pick the ball up well and judge the line, length, pace and swing. Then a decision is made instantly whether you will play back or forward depending on the length. Getting into position as quickly as possible is key to having enough time to place the ball where you want to. If a bowler is swinging it both ways then you need to wait a bit longer before committing to the stroke. Remember like I said before everyone is different. Some move their feet more than others. Some batsmen prefer to hang back and play off the back foot ala Steve Waugh. Others do not move their feet much at all, for example Virender Sehwag does not have much footwork to the quicker bowlers so he needs to be very aggressive because if he plays defensively he will likely get out knicking the ball. Hope this helps

	Hmmm, 'tis a hard one there. Initiation of movement ... I like to start taking a small step forward, to get into driving position, as the ball's released, but then if it's short I still have the time to go backfoot. I don't know how orthodox I am, I don't know if that would help you. I've seen some odd movement patterns which work for some people, but don't work for others. It's just finding out what works for you. P.S. I don't think I'd ever be able to do a Katich/Hughes, with side to side movement before playing the ball.
	You know, I'm trying to decide whether to change my siggy or not...

	Firstly Im glad I have found such a forum. No I just hope to god that someone can help me. So here's the problem, I have real trouble with shot selection and when to actully move towards the ball to play a shot. I think could be solved if someone could tell me when to initiate a movement towards the ball. For example, do I move to play a shot when; immediately when the ball is released or do I wait for one to two metres after the ball is released or do I wait until the ball has traveled half way down the wicket or do I wait till the ball is two metres away from my body to initiate a stroke. This may sound stupid and confusing but I would really appreciete if someone could explain this issue to me. Please dont hesitate to ask for more info. Appreciate in replies recieved
