Dip your head and shoulder more than for the off or straight drive and let the ball come through.
Open your leading shoulder to point straight/ mid on, so that your hip opens slightly, allowing the bat to swing through.
Take a short stride towards the ball, stand tall on the balls of your feet and point the toe of front foot directly up the wicket.
Plant foot down the line of leg stump - no wider.
Stand tall, get up onto your toes with the weight on your front foot and head forwards, directly above body - eyes level.
As the bat swings through the line of the ball, work hard to maintain the following: A dominant top hand, relaxed fingers and thumb bottom hand grip, diamond shape with arms, high hands, hands forward of bat face on impact.
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
Elite running between wickets adds significant runs without risk. Quick singles, converted twos, and intelligent strike rotation separate the best batting partnerships from average ones across all formats.
