How to exploit batting weaknesses: Introduction
Filed in:

In cricket, all batsmen have technical weaknesses. Really good bowlers and captains are able to use them to get the player out.

In this new series we will examine the more common technical faults, show you how to spot them and give you the bowling and field setting tactics you need to exploit them.

So if you are a bowler or a captain and you find yourself scratching your head for ideas on how to get a player out, this is the guide for you.

Stance weaknesses
 

Grip weaknesses

Backlift weaknesses

The series will be added to as we go along, so get the free newsletter to make sure you don't miss anything.

Wow, great idea. Have for example seen obviously flawed batting stances often enough, but never quite sure what to do about it!

Hi

Absolutely great idea for us, I am very thankful to you, actually I am a bowler who can bat well, but never tried, I want to be a All-rounder (batsman) so I always wants this type of articles.

Thank You

Hmm. Batsman's feet close together? It seems so counter-productive that I almost don't think I should be asking but why not?! Maybe you could tie 'feet far apart' into the same article or something...

I must say that this series is brilliant for coaches aswell as captains for this will help them setting corrct fields for each individual batsman's faulty technique...thanks

Cricket Basic Number 57 (Batting): Train Your Hand-Eye Coordination

57. For hand-eye training hit a golf ball against the base of a water tank with a wicket stump. Repeat if possible, otherwise simply try and play lots of hand-eye-ball sports especially table-tennis and squash and similar games that involve hitting fast moving balls. Even baseball, overall a much simpler game than cricket, can improve a batsman’s eye and a fielder’s arm.
