the same thing happend to me at the beggining of the year, but ive bounced back and the play the shot well now, the key is watching the ball on to your bat, and rolling your wrists at the moment of impact. also, make sure your front leg doesnt get in the way, or make sure it allows you to play the shot correctly. lastly, if you are leaning toward the offside, this could affect the shot. play with a free mind. if you still cant get it, then all you must do is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!]]> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 22:32:05 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1971&PID=126188#126188 Batting Discussion : It's a shot I can only play... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1971&PID=125956#125956 Author: Clobber

It's a shot I can only play when I am in really good touch, so not being able to play it at the start of a season is not something I would fret over.

Best tips I could offer for playing off your legs are to make sure you watch the ball all the way onto the bat, and don't try to hit it, just get the bat in the right place and let it deflect the ball - ball speed and timing will take care of the rest.

I've always been good at playing the leg glance so i'm not too sure if you can lose your form playing it. Make sure that the ball is drifting or pitched at leg stump so you don't try to drag it across your body. Also make sure your hands are loose enough so that your wrists can turn the bat and the ball deflects off. ]]> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 00:38:19 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1971&PID=125950#125950 Batting Discussion : thanks revolutions, i would... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1971&PID=125931#125931 Author: slogga4england

Are yo talkin gabout glancing of the back foot or the front? Anyway get our head inside the line of the ball and make sure you cant be out LBW, after hitting the ball flick the bat up to help add some power, Aim to hit behing square.

Batting has really come on thanks to you guys so thanks, there is even a chance of me opening for school.

Is it ok to walk down to seam bowlers? I get hit alot mainly on the thigh but when it is on the off side I usaully get good contact. Seeing as I am quite a weak batsman I think I it surprises the bowler and messes up their length. The main reason I charge seamers is because I can only play with a straight bat (I can't cut or pull) so it helps me score runs. So is it ok?

I also need help with legside shots like the leg glane, pull on drive thanks.

To play spin, you have to make sure you are not being deceived by flight. If you are, then you're in for real hell!! To play flight, you have to wait and not react as soon as the ball is released or you would be dead forward and the ball is no where near dropping yet.]]> Sun, 08 Apr 2007 18:40:13 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1971&PID=125039#125039 Batting Discussion : Playing leg spinners.

Playing leg spinners. Best advice I can give you is to play with soft hands, a straight bat wherever possible and play with the spin. Knocking it into the gaps will keep the runs ticking over and places more pressure on the bowler.

Then when the pressure is on the bowler one of two things will happen.

1. They'll start to pitch shorter in an attempt to get some dot balls or find an edge. This will give you room to come down the wicket a bit and width to swing your arms through the ball.

2. They'll pitch the same length but wider in an attempt to find an edge. This will give you the width needed to free your arms but does carry an added risk of the edge. Best way to prevent the edge is to drive with the spin and angling the bat down slightly so if it does take an edge it will drop short or may even slide through the slip cordon.

At the moment I am having problems with the cut shot. Could anyone give me any tips?

Ok I am now hitting the magority of the balls and middling about ten percent so there is vast improvement however, today something happened at the nets that really annoyed me I was clean bowled three balls in a row.

What annoyed me most is that they were all the same delivery the batsman worst nightmare an inswing yorker. So basicallu how do you keep yorkers out?

Thanks.

If you're batting is a sweak as you say it is, I wouldn't worry about the short ones now, the most constructive thing you can do is work very hard on getting a good solid technique on the front foot, so you can block block block and drive a few into the V, hopefully supporting a batsman at the other end which is the tail's primary role.

Get your front foot closer to the pitch of the ball. You're problem could be just poor foot movement, attitude towards fast bowlers (eg, scared of being hit by the ball etc).

If you're going to flick the ball make sure you don't miss or you might be out lbw! I think if you're having problems with the Left Arm Over the wicket bowlers, you should generally play the ball through mid off through to the covers if its an angled ball or a wide one.

If he's swinging the ball into your body then you should watch the ball closely and play with the swing. When I play a Left Arm over the wicket bowler, I usually play the ball that is angled towards the slips, I play it through the mid off region and if it's swinging in, well I play with the swing.

Just work on playing the bowler accordingly and it will cement into your subconcsious mind.

I have had my problems with them too! When they bowl close to your body, you can't cut and you can't flick it away to the leg side as the ball angles away. I don't mind facing the swing coming back into my pads as I am great off my pads! It's an area I need help on.
