Back foot batting shots are best used when the cricket ball is pitched on a shorter length (further away from the batter) or when the wicket has a lot of bounce.
The videos and drills below take your players through the range of defensive and attacking shots (strokes), whether it?s a drive, hook, pull or, if the ball is wide of the crease, a cut shot.
If right handed a back foot shot will be played off the batsman?s right foot with a step back toward their stumps. These shots are used to make the bowler pitch the ball at a fuller length and allow less riskier front foot shots to be played.
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
Elite running between wickets adds significant runs without risk. Quick singles, converted twos, and intelligent strike rotation separate the best batting partnerships from average ones across all formats.
