Wrap both hands around the handle of the bat with your dominant hand closest to the blade. For maximum control and precision, place your hands somewhere between the middle and top of the handle and keep them close enough together for the space between the thumb of your upper hand and the forefinger of your lower hand to form a 'V' shape. The further away you place your hands on the handle, the more awkward maneuvering the bat will become. Most batsmen prefer a side-on stance. If you’re right-handed, turn your left side toward the bowler with the bat off to your right side. If you’re left-handed, simply reverse this position. Plant your feet about shoulder width and put a little bend in your knees. Keep your weight distributed evenly on the balls of your feet.  Once you’re in a basic side-on stance, angle your feet or upper body to get into a position that feels more natural.  There’s no single best batting stance for cricket. The important thing is that you choose a stance that offers maximum stability and leverage so you can hit with more force. Be prepared to tweak your stance during games to adapt to different shots. If the bowler delivers a bouncer just in front of your feet, for instance, you'll need to be ready to shift your weight and play a cut off your back foot. Hold the bat out to the side so that it's parallel with the ground, or keep it pointed up or down at a slight angle. The exact position of the bat doesn't matter as long as you're able to move it quickly and easily to initiate your swing.  Make sure you’re holding the bat with the flat side facing the bowler. Since most bowls tend to be delivered closer to ground level, a cricket bat shouldn't be held as high as a baseball bat.
