Forward Defence

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

DESCRIPTION

This is, clearly, a defensive shot and is best played to a straight ball on a good length. When played correctly, the ball will travel slowly back towards the bowler.

COACHING POINTS

  • Get your head in line with the ball
  • Move your front foot forwards towards the pitch of the ball
  • Play the ball directly under your eye line
  • Push your weight into the ball
  • Let the ball hit the bat – do not push at it or attempt to follow through
  • Angle the bat downwards so the ball travels directly into the ground
