Quick Tip: Take Control of Practice

Filed in:

If you want your practice to go your way, you have to take responsibility.

One thing I often see at nets is the default having a hit: One person batting for 10 minutes with no purpose, and a range of bowlers. A good coach will do all she can to prevent this from happening but in a group setting it doesn't always work as planned.

So, you need to take a moment before, during and after the session.

 

Better Batting Goes Beyond Technique

Coach and Minor Counties Cricketer, Chris Watling, shares his experiences with another article on using your mind to get you out of bad form and back to run scoring.

When you're in a bit of bad form it's easy to be negative.

Stop the mistakes. Stop getting out.

This approach is hurting your game.

How to Practice Using Your Feet to Spin

Iain Brunnschweiler, top coach, has a great tip for those wanted to get better against playing spin.

If you want to be effective against spinners, it's really important that you are confident enough to use your feet and get down the wicket.
