How can I improve my batting and bowling stance?

How can I improve my batting and bowling stance?

I'm a good all rounder but I'm facing problems with my batting and bowling. First off, I don't have a good batting stance and technique. With my bowling, what should I bowl? I can bowl leg spin, off spin or fast.How can I improve both these areas?

Hi Irfan,

Your question is too broad and general to answer really well.

You need to identify what the problems are eg. too many no balls, wides, too short, lack of accuracy, too many LBW`s, getting caught in slips, hitting the ball in the air when driving, etc.

As far as your bowling style goes that is entirely up to you, go with what you enjoy most and are best at. Sometimes a team may need a particular type of bowler if you can fill that need and do it well, then you will be playing regularly.

If you do all of them well and enjoy doing them, then keep doing it. Garfield Sobers managed to do all of them at Test level and provided great flexibility to his team.

With your question the best advice I can give you is keep practising reqularly and have some particularl goal on what you want to work on. When you have achieved that, go on to the next thing you want to improve.

It`s no quick fix but it does work.

Good luck.
