This session encourages your fielding players to anticipate the shot, chasing down daisy cutters to save runs and build pressure on the batsman.
Catches win matches, and the 'Hollywood blockbuster' ones will grab the headlines. But there needs to be huge focus on fielding with your team, so you can stop conceding those sloppy runs. Saving runs is just as important as scoring them with the bat - the more runs you save you fewer you have to make. It'll put a lot of pressure on the opposition!
Build Pressure: Attack the Ball
Make sure your players attack the ball and don't waste a second when fielding, using this session to get your players running hard. Get them fielding as individuals at first, then progress to working as a team to get the ball back to your keeper as quickly as possible.
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.
