Hi Guys Jemile of the cricket school here please subscribe and like
this video will cover
coming down the wicket and hitting the ball to the on side
straight through the on side
as with the off side video - the key thing is that you keep
your ankles in line this allows us to play freely
and adjust and to play to the other side of the wicket which is obviously the side
if our legs and feet cross
what happens is a chain of events the domino effect
where we will most probably be only able to play to the leg side
obviously we don't want that
so by keeping our ankles in line we will now have the option to play
to both sides of the wicket
second key thing is that our lead foot
moves first and we move on the balls of our feet
as much as possible that will give us speed sharpness
and quickness with which to adjust
and the flexibility we will need in order to
execute the shots and play the shots
So lead foot - back foot - lead foot -back foot - Once we've planted our feet
We then strike down through the ball keeping
our eyes on the ball and as much you can try not to rotate the face of the bat on this one
once you get the hang of the shot, then you move to the more expansive rolling of the wrists and all that kind of thing
but it's just good at the early stages
just to play a check drive through the ball
Please watch the video again - go over the key stages
Thanks for watching and please subscribe
