![]() Since the ball is going away from me I need to do a couple of basic things: If the bowl is swinging way too much, I open my feet a bit more wider and playing in-swinging deliveries becomes a peace of cake.īeing an open batsman I believe that out-swingers are more difficult to play then in-swingers. I usually play in-swingers on front foot and in the v-zone. Try to score your runs from the other bowlers. They only managed to score 70 runs and lost by over 100 runs.įinally, if a bowler, spin or fast is too good on the day, then just accept it and try to play his overs out defensively instead of attacking. the same Aussie bowler was smashed all over the park the next day on a wet wicket, huge sixes but his team still won, why? because their opposition battsmen failed to realise that the opening bowler was too good on the day, he was bowling fast with great line a length but the batsmen still went to attack him instead of playing defensively and waisting his 9 over limit. We still went on to win the match by 10 runs. Had I not played him the way I did he would have ended up atleast 5 wickets. We only scored 7 runs of his 8 over limit with 2 wickets. When I went into bat I realised that he was too good on the day and attacking him was not an option so I played every delivery on front foot, as far as I could stretch and play bowl dead. He already dismissed two of my good batsmen. He was turning the bowl from way outside off stump. Last Saturday, I faced an Aussie off spin bowler, a very good spin bowler on our wicket. If the bowler is too good for you then just accept it. The closer you are to the pitch, the safer you are. You should be trying to get in as big a stride as possible though. You still need to lead with your head and shoulder while having your weight over your front foot. ![]() It might be enough to stop you catching the edge. This will reduce the amount of time the ball has to deviate. To reduce this risk, it's important to get as close to the pitch of the ball as possible. If the ball swings later than you ability to react you will be more likely to miss it or edge it. This means you will usually be playing forward to them. Without doing that they will not get the swing they need. Swing bowlers are usually going to pitch the ball up to you. This is one reason why facing a bowling machine is less beneficial than facing real bowling: You don't get the clues from the bowler. Those blessed without a great talent for this can improve their ability by practice. If you see an angles seam you know the bowler is at least trying to swing the ball. Additionally, the bowler can give you subtle clues in their grip, run up and delivery stride that can help you. If you see the ball released late it will be short, if you see it released early it will be full. Greg Chappell says that it's all about watching the point of release from the bowler.
