| Keep your eyes level, it's been shown that having your eyes level helps speed up your reaction time. It makes it easier for your brain to process the incoming information if your eyes are level when the ball is delivered.

| When batting against spinners, try doing an initial 'forward press' by making an initial half-step on to the front foot as the bowler bowls. This will give you a good base to play from and help give you quicker feet.

| :DYour first movement should be from the shoulders towards the line of the ball. The rest of your body will follow naturally and will help ensure you get correctly inline with the ball.

| It is essential to maintain a solid base when batting and to be in a solid position when you play the ball. If you watch, for example Brain Lara play a cover drive, he has a solid base from which he plays the stroke and he is perfectly balanced. Added (2009-02-10, 9:32 Pm)

| Play the delivery based on its length, if it's short; even if it's in line with the wickets it should be 'tonked away', Andy Flintoff style, to the boundary. The same principle applies with full deliveries and half volleys.

A very tough shot because it is hard to open your foot to point
straight down the pitch, bring the bat down nice and straight a
nd still hit the ball hard enough to go down the ground.' 'I tend to hit this one wide of mid-on against pace bowlers,
whereas David Boon hit his straight back past the bowlder.
Boonie used this shot to great effect against fast bowlers
whenever they over-pitched. I do hit spinners in the air over
mid-on and quicks there on the ground in one-dayers.'

| The Ideal Grip
Hands close together on the handle. Neither very tight nor very loose. Both hands close together and should be positioned in the centre of the bat handle. Both palms should create a "V" in straight line running down the centre of the back of the bat.

| A good batsman is one who can protect his wicket but at the same
time score runs. The bigger the shot selection together with fast
reflexes & free-flowing shots, one can become an excellent batsman. Shots in batting range from the square cut, hook, off-drive,
pull to the sweep and the leg-glance.

| Firstly, make sure your basic batting technique is sound.
Ensure you are in the mindset of scoring from 4 down to 1 making manoeuvring the ball a positive batting tactic. There are just as many gaps in the air as there are on the ground. Over the head of midwicket is just as much a gap as pushing the ball to deep mid on.
Don't look at the fielders, look at the gaps.
Keep the quick single in mind even when playing a defensive shot. There is often a gap close in.

| A facet of batting which is often neglected, is the stance. Not many people realise that batting stance is one of the most basic and essential techniques in batting - batting doesn't merely involve just standing there at the crease. Where your feet are, how they're positioned, where your centre of gravity is all have an effect on the effectiveness of your strokeplay, and determines your balance at the crease. What you're looking for: 1. Ensure that you are basically side on to the bowler. This decreases the time you need in order to get your feet in a good position to hit the ball. You might have seen some front-on stances (eg. West Indian batsman Shivnerine Chanderpaul), but if you do notice, the fact that in order to play a 'proper' cricket stroke, they must turn their whole body around 90 degrees before they can initiate the stroke. Hence, this reduces the amount of time available to hit the ball. Standing side on also makes it easier to evade bouncers and reduces the chances of getting hit square in the face if the event ever unfortunately arises.
