Cricket Show 85: More on declarations

Filed in:

PitchVision Academy Cricket Show

It may seem like the cricket show has somehow become obsessed with declarations.

Yet again we discuss when is a good time to declare an innings and come up with some interesting stats to back up our argument.

If you are not so bothered with all the declaration chat, we still answer your questions about:

Should you introduce a trigger move?
Is hitting the gaps a skill or a mental issue?
How to do more clap push ups

ou can submit your own questions for us to answer here or on facebook.

Congratulations to the competition winner who wins a free coaching course on PitchVision Academy. To find out how to enter this week's competition, download the show.

Kevin Pietersen, as the world’s-leading innovative batsman, is in the perfect position to bridge this gap. Learn to play the KP way on PitchVision Academy.

I read that Gary Sobers was superb at judging the length of the ball by picking up the point at which the bowler released the ball. I think this is the key. If you work on the basis that the earlier the bowler releases the ball the fuller it is going to be and the latter he releases the ball the shorter it is going to be, than you have a framework for judging the length of the ball. From then on it becomes a matter of getting in the nets and training your eyes to lock onto the release position by facing plenty of bowling.

Agreed Aleksandar, This helped me judge length better last season. Another tip is to concentrate on the area above the bowler's shoulder, where the bowling arm will appear. Following the hand all the way through the action can lead to almost a lag effect.
