THE CRICKET CLINIC!!!

hopefuly your real run up is longer than that but i think it is that your bound is not big enough so your kind of walking into the delivery stride

thats all i noticed
but i think a video of you at 100% would give a more accturate result of what you are doing wrong.

Following up with the previous post, i was wondering if i can gain some advice. Basically, i always approach the crease at a nice steady pace but when it comes to the delivery 'bound', i do not do this. If you can imagine that as my right foot plants, i in effect hop on my right leg a quarter of a step staying on my right foot, then my left foot plants and i go through my action.(im right handed by the way).

if you are jumping from your right leg onto your right leg you will be losing all your momentum


i would say
first of all practise
but the technique used it

run up
jump off your left foot
land of your right food
deliver on your left foot

you may not understand that.

but your problem is that you need to jump from your left to your right rather than right to right...
if u understand me

its not a very big problem but i could use a bit more consistency during overs and in the way of not having so many off days.

i havent found it so much recently but some matches i just dont feel right bowling and i feel un comfortable and i dont bowl well

and also i havent found this happening as much recently but alot of the time i am having a good day but i can suddenly bowl a full toss with out even atempting the yorker or it goes way down leg side.


if any one has got any tips it would be usefull

I need help with my batting. I can hardly see the ball when it comes fast and how is it possible to watch the ball till the end? I also need help playing legspin with a lot of bounce and spin which pitches on good length and on the leg/ middle line. What shot do i use?

Just had a little training session today and I found a little bug in my technique. When facing a ball, bowled full (Yorker length) outside off-stump, I would play a cover drive. Having not played for a while it seems that my bat doesn't get low enough to the ground and the ball will go under the bat, a bottom edge with the ball clipping the toe.

Could my bat be too small or is it a timing/technique problem?

Obviously the easy fix solution to this would be to come out of my crease and advance down the pitch to meet the ball on the full.

Thanks although, I have no idea how far a ball could nip back. It's always been a weak point in my game I'll just have to nut it out and keep it out of there. Might squeeze a quick single.

 Basically playing quicks is about telling yourself to do everything qicker. Makesure your footworks sharp. Start by blocking and then start to play more ellaborate shots. As you become accustomed to the pace.
