 Topic: Trigger Movements.Posted: 28 March 2007 at 4:55pm |

I was always to bottom-handed, a couple of years ago I changed my grip and it really helped, what I do is I rest the handle accross the knuckles/fingers of the bottom hand then grip with the thumb rather than holding it in the palm. Try it, it might help

I have the same problem. Someone suggested to me that in the nets I should try playing a few one handed drives, just using the top hand to get the muscles to learn the movement. If you keep your right hand off the bat it can't tighten up and take over. When you've got used to doing a few like that you can put your bottom hand back, but all it should be doing is adding some control.

I swing both ways - but only when I'm bowling!

I've experimented with different triggers in the nets. I used to shuffle across my stumps from leg to middle, but felt myself playing to on-sidish and getting out LBW.
I now put my weight on my front-foot and try and get foward as much as possible, while keeping upright. This allows me to rock back into the back foot if needed and is especially useful when playing against spin.

It's worth a try, honestly.
The Pro out our club played England Under 19 against Chanderpaul, when he was 19 he played completely straight, perfect MCC manual stance etc, but he just changed it and it's worked. Whatever is natural works best. I don't think you should deliberatly put a trigger movement in, it's just if it feels natural to you.

I'm tempted to start jumping about in the crease. Might be fun.

Tell that to Shivranine Chanderpaul... I don't know exactly what you mean by "dancing around", but if you simply mean shifting your weight slightly from foot to foot, I think that's perfectly sound technique. i can't say I've seen any first-class players do it, but plenty of good club cricketers do, and technique does differ slightly between the two. My father, for example, has always done it, he learnt his cricket at a top private school and has played to a high level of club cricket Edited by Chin Music - 27 March 2007 at 1:09pm |

My trigger movement is just a slight movement of my feet while they are in one spot i.e I do not take a slight step forward or back but try to keep my feet moving. It gives me the feeling that I gain that split second in going forward or back. Its probably just a psychological thing but hey it works for me.

i have the exactly opposite problem evrytime the bowler bowls [fast bowler] i get scared and move back.
Also no matter how much i practice playing with my top hand in front of my mirror i always end up playing with my bottom hand during matches. Please advise. |

Any really batting coach would probably consider what i do as the ball
is about to be bowled as a sin, I dance around on my toes a bit i've
always done it to keep my feet moving so i dont get caught on the spot
but technecially its probably not a good idea. Seeing as I only play
sunday cricket I doubt its a technecial flaw thats going to be exposed
massivly however.

to my mind the benefit is that light on my feet (as it were) as opposed to having my feet rooted to the spot as the ball is on its way

I wait for the ball before moving, but then I'm quite flat-footed. Mentally, my instinct is to go forward. What does everyone think on the merits and disadvantages of having a trigger movement? I'm thinking of experimenting with one to improve my footwork.

My back leg goes slightly back and across, then I start transferring my weight onto the front foot which gets me into line and ready to get onto the front foot

My trigger movement is a slight step out with the front foot, which opens up the field for different shots. |

Anybody have one?
I cannot stay still at the crease while the bowler is running in, I have to make a step or two.
I bat on leg and just shuffle across and forwards onto around middle.
Always on the front foot, my strength.
