Best advice I heard from a first class player - "Watch the ball" not just look at the ball, but really concentrate on the ball. 

Foot movement isn't everything - look at the modern day players theydon't take large exagerated steps toward the ball, they takesmaller  steps in their area (sometimes called playing on thesurfboard).  But they have fierce concentration on the ball - Someplayers comment on how they can pick the ball about to be bowled fromthe hand position as the bowler runs in.

For the rest of us mortals  remember you are taking you cues fromwhat the eyes pickup - if you pay attention at the bowler releasepoint, you will judge better forward or backward movement - if you areonly concentrating after release you will not be able to make gooddecisions early enough for confident play.

yeah, i agree it is more better to be alive on the crease than just be stationary, especially if you are facing a fast bowler.

Some people say you should be entirely stationary but i entirely disagree, i like to be alive at the crease and on my toes moving just before its bowled. I never settle into one stuck position.

In saying that, it differs for each and every individual. While technique is advised, it is often variations (of technique) that are most effective- simply tailoring your batting to the text-book is not the way to go.

I personally lift the bat just as the bowler approaches the crease, and move my feet just after they release the ball.

Hi,
I'm quite new to playing cricket and was just wondering what you mean by this? Why can't you get an LBW if you move forward sooner?


Thanks

Practice...its a simple theory, you get out what you put in. It sounds like your neglecting your batting and concentrating on your bowling.

I doubt its something technical. You do get some players who dont move their feet but that tends to be their natural style, if you used to move your feet before becoming a bowler then it just sounds like a lack of practice and/or a lack of concentration.

Hi, at the moment my weakness is batting, im very successful as a fast bowler and take at least 2 wickets every game i play. When i first started playing cricket i use to be a good bat and would play excellent shots and move my feet. Ever since becoming a full time bowler i have forgotten to move my feet to get inline whilst batting.I've tried trigger movemnets but they dont seem to work. Any suggestions please???Confused
