This is part 1 of a 3 part series on trigger moves by Gary Palmer. To go to part 2 click here.
How do you pick line and length of fast bowling on quick wickets?
It's very difficult to do, and even more so if you are trying to stand still. One way to help with this is to adopt the 'back and across' trigger movement.
In this free video Gary Palmer, the PitchVision Academy Batting Coach, demonstrates how to adopt this trigger move and improve your batting:

Great stuff. Is there any reason not to use trigger movements against says mediums/fast-mediums? Would prefer to just concentrate on having one batting method against pace, and another against spin...

Great matter shown and dicussed here... But I personally have trigger movement of front and across by which i mean i go go forward with my front fot and the just across with ack foot very much like Sachin Tendulkar used to in his 20's and early 30's. So is there anything wrong with it because I dont see Sachin do it now but is that cauz of is age. Also according to me its more to do with your eyes and hands than any trigger movements but obviously you have to move you feet to th ball but it comes after eyes and hands. I might be wrong here but I have noticed players nowadays trust their eyes and hands more than any trigger movements. So please clear my queris Gary and David....
Many thanks!!!
Cricket Basic Number 55 (Batting): Always Vary Your Footwork when Training
55. Keep moving your feet. When doing repetitive batting training, such as hitting a ball in a suspended sock or practicing against a bowling machine, continually vary your footwork - how far forward, back or across you get. Placing your foot, especially your front foot, in the same place every ball is a dangerous habit to get into and should be vigorously avoided. Instead vary the effective line and length of the ball and concentrate on getting into the right position for that unique delivery.
