  • Set two cones up a third of the way down the wicket. One central and one leg side.

  • Batsman to hit an on drive, hold the follow through and move towards the cones holding the shape. 
  • Have the batsman face 3 balls each, making adjustment, and rotate through several times. 

COACHING POINTS

  • Ensure batsman has feet facing down the wicket, shoulders open, head forward and leaning into the shot.
  • Hold the shape with the bat at head height in the follow through. This allows the bottom hand to relax.
