Watch carefully out of the hand and try to pick up any additional cues in the action regarding which length they may bowl. It's not easy when they bowl 150kph
At what point do you teach to initiate the backlift? I was taught that the backswing/backlift happens naturally in sync with the foot movement forward or back. You're saying it should happen before the foot movement? Not saying either is better just keen to understand
Great question Tom thanks for asking mate!! Greg Chappell told me that the movement of the feet should coincide with the take back of the hands in an equal and opposite direction with the backlift reaching its peak as the foot lands - think Ricky Ponting, Kumar Sangakarra etc who tapped their bats late and at release. Many modern players hold the bat higher now so their initial movement in the back swing is more minimal. There is no perfect right or wrong answer here but having some movement in the bat in the set up (a bat waggle or tap) is probably a bit more natural and able to be synced with the movement of the bowler but there are many modern players who hold their bat still at a variety of positions in their bat swing (high, low etc) and are still very successful - think the difference between Glen Maxwell and Harry Brook. Many players created their ability to get in sync with the bowlers movement through their trigger also!!
The dipping of the front shoulder in the take back of the top hand in particular helps to move the head forward to wards the ball and can assist in initiating the foot movement. Tilt the head and shoulder towards the ball and your bat will naturally come up. Try to get the toe of the bat up to 12 o’clock by cocking the bottom wrist for maximum power!!
@@properformancecricket Thanks for the reply, interesting info. Yes what Chappell says is how understand it (step and swing), Gilchrist and Martyn also were good examples, tapping the bat or holding it low until they see the ball then picking it up as they moved their feet (tilting the head and shoulder towards the ball as you say). Obviously holding the bat down like this is quite rare now (Bancroft still does it even in T20) so lot's of methods seem to work. I just wasn't sure weather you were suggesting the bat lift/shoulder tilt (wherever it starts) should happen before the ball is let go or as a reaction to seeing the ball?
@@tomphillips105 Best for the shoulder tilt to happen as a reaction to the ball - more natural. The players who hold their bats up higher still will tilt their shoulder in reaction to the ball but their hands just start higher in the flow of their back swing - hope this makes sense. Tricky to explain on text. Good luck!!
@@properformancecricket Azharuddin and most folks from and before his era held their bats low. T20 generation is holding their bats like they are baseball bats. Thousands of 'gully' cricketers like me still hold the bats low because we have to deal with the so called 'snake' balls that are common on the kinds of pitches we play on 😀
Fantastic video. Thank you!
Our pleasure! Thanks for the comment!!
Sir very good video
Thanks so much Raktutpal - glad you liked it!!
Top hend Elbow should bent it will easy to creat momentum and acceleration.
Flextion to extended
(Rotational inertia)
Thanks for the Comment !!
Sir can make a video on how to identify pitch
Sir you have told that a good role of thumb during backlift.. what does it mean .. please reply sir i am very confused ..
It's just a phrase "rule of thumb" it means "a common opinion" or "generic option"
Sir how to pick line and length of the ball especially fast and furious bowlers like shoaib akhtar and brett Lee sir please

No worries at all - glad it helped.
