question concerning batting and general

how do you practice your batting skills,by the way ive done cricket for just over a year now but I haven't been on top of my cricket skills as much as ive also had other commitements such as karate and aslo I had a fondness for badminton during the last winter so the only time I trainedwas really the last years seaon but the traing I did was self made and was in the park as my school cricket team cant really afford enough equipment to train the rest of the team (The team is makeshift by the way).all I did in the park was bowling to my friend who would devlop his batting skills by just tying to find a way of hitting the ball so this is th e reason why im asking you first how can I develop my batting skills and secondly what drills do you do individually and as a team which makes you and your players good?

Hi Ismail,

Without a coach it`s hard to focus on one aspect to improve your game and without team mates to practice against it is even harder. If you want to get better, join a local team. They will have a coach or manager and plenty of people to practice your batting and bowling against. Keep up the badminton as it has many aspects that will help your batting, although Table Tennis is better for focusing your attention on the ball and sharpening your reflexes.

The quickest way to success is by hard work and lots of practice. You`ve started by asking questions about how to improve so you look like you have the right attitude. Good luck!
