Hi Callum,

Thank you for your question. To ensure you can hit the ball regardless of your stance, maintain a balanced posture with your feet shoulder-width apart, keep your head still, and watch the ball closely from the bowlerâs hand. Stay light on your feet to adjust quickly and align your bat with the ballâs trajectory.

I hope this helps,

Cam
