Most of the young players have this issue
BAT PATH TOO HIGHER/ HANDS ARE HIGHER when driving.
Do these drills and see any difference 😉
Modern cricket is all about finding run scoring options/ areas.
Here in option 1 and 2 could be in a game situation. READ THE GAME AND SWITCH TO EITHER OPTION.
It could be at the start of the innings or death overs. But that switch is the most imporatnt factor here. As batters you need both at your training sessions. Build that confidence.
PS- most batters know how to do it don’t know when to do it.
WHATS THE PRESS?
At the release point off a spinner your front leg press forward/ staying low. It can be a good press or can be a subtle press.
WHY YOU WANT IT?
At some stage of your cricket there are lesser loose balls, so anything loose you pounce on it or making a good ball for runs is the way to go. To do this process PRESS helps
ADVANTAGES
Picking the lines lengths better because you don’t premeditate. Your movements are consistent and low at the release. Once you good at it without knowing your feet moves very fast.
(Stepping out is so swift because you have done the first step at the release already ✅
Can go back quickly because you can push your body weight better off the front foot to back when you have a press✅)
DISADVANTAGES
If you do it wrong / timing of it/ it can be a complicated movement which can slow you down.
Just a causal player coach conversation.
It is so important before you as a coach comment and give proper instructions just to ask the players intention / thought process at that particular moment.
Use of heavy balls.(weighted balls). This will improve your bat speed and stronger positions. But make sure to do it properly. Have a listen.
LEG SPIN PROGRESSION
4 simple drills / takes 15 minutes
Stability without lower body support ✅
Pivot without head falling over ✅
Open/ broader chest with head still driving forward ✅
Correct Use of back leg/ hip ✅
Simple body movements for power hitting. Have a listen
THESE SHOTS COMES WITH RISK. BUT MODERN CRICKET IS ABOUT TAKING RISK. Have a listen
