 Topic: batting fuller lengthPosted: 26 November 2006 at 8:23am |

Hi,
Need immediate advise before the next match.
Last match I was out with a delivery off side off stump fuller length.
I approached to the ball and drive towards cover and mid off , but failed and got snick out to WK.
I tried and done some practice but failed to get connected to the ball in the practice and found same problem repeated.
What shall I do bring foot and bat together or what?

Leave the ball, or drive it through the mid off region, if you're going to play at it, make sure you get your foot to the pitch of the ball.

This is if you decide to play a stroke. You should keep your head still and over the ball. Watch the ball very, very closely and do not play off the back foot. If you are having too many problems then you should play with a short backlift too so you can get to the ball quickly. As a leftie make sure you play a shot infront of square - otherwise you would just be inducing an edge of you drove behing square.

In your case mate, you should do like Gayle. Try the flat batted shot straight over mid off.

Well, being a fellow lefty, I would suggest that you should be playing much straighter than through the covers to a ball on off stump, especially if the bowler is coming over the wicket to you. What guard do you take?

In that case, unless you're completely opening the face of your bat up, I dont see how you can hit it towards cover if its on an off stump line.
I would suggest there may be an issue with your footwork, how are you coming forward? because the only way you could get it to cover coming forward is if you completely open the face of your bat up, or you're taking guard on or outside leg stump.

If you're struggling to play a shot I wouldn't think to much about where to hit it, just try and get your head over it and your footwork right and see where it ends up.

the thing is not to play across the line before you settle in. |

Why would you try and drive a good ball like that, wait until the bowler drops one wider then play a cover drive. AS others have said though, play straight to that kind of ball and drive it through mid off
