| How To Bat in Twenty20 Cricket [1002.201.010.003] |
By Gary Palmer, PitchVision Academy Batting Coach
Have you ever wondered how the professionals score at strike rates of 150 runs per hundred balls without resorting to risky slogging? The modern approach requires a total change of mindset from the traditional techniques and tactics. No longer can you afford to pat back good length balls and hit half volleys for 'just' four. You need to maximise the run scoring from every ball while also minimising your chances of getting out. That's why this course exists: To take you past the coaching manual and into the best ways to improvise from the first ball to the last in the short format.
