Our Top Cricket Batting Tips




-1st Batting Tip - Keep your eyes level, it's been shown that having your eyes level helps speed up your reaction time, as it makes it easier for the brain to process the incoming information.


-3rd Batting Tip - Play the delivery based on its length, if it's short; even if it's in line with the wickets it should be 'tonked away' (Andy Flintoff style) to the boundary. The same principle applies with full deliveries and half volleys.

-5th Batting Tip - When batting against spinners, try doing an initial 'forward press', making an initial half-step on to the front foot as the bowler bowls. This will give you good base to play from and help give you quicker feet.

-6th Batting Tip - It is essential to maintain a solid base when batting and to be in a solid position when you play the ball. If you watch for example Brain Lara play a cover drive, he has a solid base from which he plays the stroke, he is perfectly balanced.
