Cricket: Ian Bell - Taking Guard v Spin

Thanks to Sportplan and their coaching tips, I can now coach with...
Horatius, Cricket Coach

DESCRIPTION

If a batter can set up correctly then they will give themselves the best possible chance to face the delivery that comes down at them.


But how should their guard change when facing the different types of spin?

COACHING POINTS

  • Two different guards depending if the ball is spinning in or away to the batter
  • Slightly wider stance
  • To the ball spinning back in, get across to off stump as the pad gives an extra form of defence
  • Play with the spin
  • For the ball turning away, know where your off stump is and play with the spin
