How to Batting Against Fast Bowler | Cricket Tips for Batting Against Fast Bowlers

in cricket, a fast bowler can change the pace and outcome of a match. A typical fast bowl usually ranges from 85 to 90 miles per hour and can induce tricky spins once the ball bounces off the ground during the bowl. The fastest bowl recorded was by Pakistan's Shoaib Akhtar, whose delivery was clocked at 100.2 miles per hour to England's Nick Knight in the 2003 Cricket World Cup. How is a batter able to achieve success against a fast bowler?

  


Footwork
   1. A batter's footwork is key to a good at bat. A fast bowler's pitch may have an odd spin and come off of the ground at an unpredictable angle, so do not commit to a specific direction right away as you may be able to do against an average-speed pitch.

 Eye Contact
   2. Although a fast pitch may be difficult to follow throughout, the most crucial spot to see is where the ball strikes the ground. Depending on where the ball comes in contact with the ground, the pitch may be a high bouncer, short pitched, good length, full pitched or a yorker, where the ball first bounces very close to the batter's swinging area. Seeing the ball well is a plus in batting, especially when facing a fast bowler.

Level Bat
         1. If a pitch is coming in faster than normal, the batter will have less time to bring the bat around. Keeping the bat about waist level is proper as the batter will have time to level the bat in the direction of the playing field and enough room to generate some power in the swing. Hitting an offensive shot against a fast bowler can be done.

Off Pads Through the On-Side
         2. This is a style of batting in cricket that may help against fast bowlers. As the batter, you must let the ball come to you. At the last instant, turn the wrists to the opposite field (left field for a right-handed batter, and right field for a left-handed batter). Let the angle of the bat do much of the work as this batting technique can easily find the gaps in the field.

Defense Shot
There are typically two types of defense shot in cricket: the forward defense and back foot defense. Although the forward defense may work against a fast bowler, it is more effective against a bowler who specializes in spinning his pitches. The back foot defense is more effective against fast bowlers, as the speed of the pitch will do a lot of the work if contact is made. The keys here are to keep the bat straight and down, and to hold the bat with soft hands to enable it to be moved up or down depending on the location of the pitch. In the back foot defense shot, the batter should not follow the ball especially against fast bowlers, but stay in line and protect the wickets behind him.

Tips For Best Fielding | Cricket Fielding Tips

When fielding during cricket there are many things to think about and consider depending on where you are fielding. This brief article will look at a few essential cricket fielding tips which you can incorporate into your game to improve your fielding.

Where ever you are fielding you should always be on the balls of your feet so you can react and change direction quickly. If you are caught flat footed you'll be slower off the mark and potentially give away more runs.

Try to anticipate where ball will go; you can do this by carefully watching the batters shape and movements. This may be a little difficult at first but after a bit of practise will become second nature and you'll react much quicker to any shots coming your way and field better as a result.

When you are fielding close to the boundary and have to throw from the deep, try to aim your throw just above the keepers head and the ball should drop nicely in to his gloves, provided you have a relatively strong throwing arm.

When catching close to the wicket, such as in the slips, gulley or short leg, make sure you stance is correct with your feet shoulder width apart or slightly wider. Spread your weight evenly across both feet, resting lightly on the balls of your feet, with your knees flexed. Keep your hands together, close to the ground with your fingers pointing down. Keep your head up with your eyes level and stay alert.

When catching the ball in close, watch the ball all the way into your hands, allowing the ball to come to you; don't try to snatch at it. 'Give' with the ball as you catch, cushioning the impact. When catching in the deep, try and catch the ball at eye level and cushion the ball into your chest.

The ball can come to you at any time so it is really important you stay alert and awake so you can stop that vital run or take a match winning catch.

These are just a few cricket fielding tips that you can incorporate into you game; there are many more cricket fielding tips for specific aspects of fielding. However these are the general cricket fielding tips I've found to be the most useful.

Cricket Batting Tips | Cricket Batting Tips-Foot Work | How to Batting Most Important Tips

When batting in cricket it is essential to have excellent footwork. As good foot work is the basis for achieving excellence in cricket and is the foundation for good batting technique.

Foot work is absolutely necessary as all successful strokes start with effective batting footwork.


If you watch great cricketers like Brian Lara, Michael Vaughn, Ricky Ponting, Sachin Tendulkar, all of these amazing batsmen have outstanding footwork, often when these types of cricket players don't perform it is simply due to lack of footwork.

Good footwork allows you to time the ball well and place the ball in gaps. It gets you in the optimum position to hit the ball, so you can hit it where you want and with ease.

If you have been struggling to play a particular shot for some reason it could be due to poor footwork causing bad timing and body positioning.

With faster bowlers it is even more essential to have excellent fast and precise footwork, so that you can get into a balanced position, in-line with the ball, so you can play the ball with control.

Getting quickly into position through footwork therefore is very important.

The more you practice your footwork against both fast and slow bowlers the easier you will gradually find it. Many players do what we call trigger movements just before the bowler releases the ball, this helps get the feet moving into position and into line much quicker and easier, especially against faster bowlers.

Next time you watch a game of cricket on TV watch the batsmen's feet really closely as the bowler is about to deliver you'll see these small 'trigger movements'; small foot movements, which help the batsmen get in position and inline early.


As a batsman it is absolutely necessary to develop your foot work and foot movement, as all excellent strokes start with effective and efficient footwork.

Cricket Catching tips | How to Catch Tips

Everyone's heard the phrase: 'Catches win matches'. And you found out whoever told you that phrase whether it be your coach or your Dad, were right. Cricket is about scoring runs and taking wickets, that's how you win. So what's the most common way batsmen get out? Caught. If you drop em you don't win - that's pretty much it.

So in my next cricket tips blog I'm going to cover the basics on catching.
There's two different types of catches - outfield and infield catches. The only main difference is that outfield catches are higher and require some distance to be covered, whereas infield catches are flatter, faster and require little/any movement at all. However, there is a similarity between catches and that is the positioning of the hands (the most important body part involved in taking a catch - good idea not to forget that). Here are some things to remember:

1. Relax - Keep your hands 'soft'. This will help in preventing the ball caning the palms of your hands which normally result in some sort of excruciating pain and a dropped catch.

2. Give - Give with the ball. As the ball enters your hands it isn't a good idea to just leave your hands where the ball is going to land - this also means pain and a dropped catch. What you want to do is to reduce the amount of force the ball has on your palms, so by bringing the arms towards the body during the catch, you aren't going to feel the full force of a flying cricket ball.

3. Fingers - One of the basic principles of catching. For low catches below the chest, the fingers are pointing down when in its cupped position, whereas the fingers should point up for those catches above the chest.

4. EYES ON THE BALL! Coping one to the face isn't something nobody enjoys. Enough said.

Dhoni beats Sachin Tendulkar | MS Dhoni signs 210 Crore endorsement deal with Rhiti Sports

Dhoni has entered into a two-year deal with Rhiti Sports Management and Mindscapes worth $42m, which will manage the Indian skipper's long list of endorsements and brand associations, corporate profile, patents and digital rights, images, visibility on social networking sites and merchandise through a joint venture.

The deal surpasses that made made by batsman Sachin Tendulkar with sports management firm Iconix - worth $40m over three years from 2006.

The Indian cricket captain was acclaimed throughout the country for winning the first ICC Twenty20 World Cup trophy in 2007.

Often described as India's most eligible bachelor, he married his childhood sweetheart Sakshi Singh Rawat at a private ceremony outside the northern town of Dehradun last week.

Currently, Dhoni is the country's most expensive sportsperson and is associated with 22 brands such as PepsiCo, Reebok, Aircel, Godrej and Hersheys.

A Forbes study last year said that said that Dhoni was the world's richest cricketer with an annual earning of $10m, followed by Tendulkar at $8m.

Five greatest innings by Dhoni

 
183 v Sri Lanka, Jaipur, 2005-06
Sri Lanka set India a formidable 299 to win, and India lose Tendulkar in the first over. But Dhoni, promoted to No. 3, plunders 183 off 145 balls, and takes India to victory with 23 balls to spare. His innings includes 15 fours and 10 sixes, and it is the highest score by a wicketkeeper, the highest individual score batting second, and it has the highest number of runs scored in boundaries at the time.

148 v Pakistan, Visakhapatman, 2004-05
Dhoni is playing his fifth ODI and walks in at No. 3 after Sachin Tendulkar has fallen in the fourth over. The pitch is flat, and Dhoni cashes in in a spectacular manner. He scores his maiden ODI century, 148 off 123 balls with 15 fours and four sixes, and by the time he's done Virender Sehwag's 74 off 40 balls has been overshadowed. It is the highest score by an Indian wicketkeeper - barring Rahul Dravid - and by the time Dhoni is out, India are 289 for 4 in the 42nd over.

148 v Pakistan, Faisalabad 2005-06
After Pakistan have scored 588 in the first innings, India are in danger of conceding a massive first-innings lead after losing their top five for 281. Dhoni disregards the match situation, matched fire with fire, and what follows is a breathless knock that kills any chances of a result in the Test. A fired-up Shoaib Akhtar steams in and peppers Dhoni with a barrage of short balls, but Dhoni responds with a thrilling counterattack, hooking and pulling with aggression that almost approaches recklessness. He hits four sixes and 19 fours in his innings for 148, which take him only 153 balls. By the time he is out, India trail by only 97 runs.

72 and 77 v Pakistan, Lahore and Karachi, 2005-06
The knocks that consolidate his reputation of being a finisher. With the five-match series level at 1-1, and India needing 290 to win the Lahore one-dayer, Dhoni walks in with India needing 99 off 92 balls with five wickets in hand. Yuvraj Singh is batting on 53, but Dhoni completely overshadows him, smashing 72 runs off 46 balls to win the game in the 48th over.

76 v England at Lord's, 2007
This is perhaps Dhoni's most valuable innings, for it helps India avoid impending defeat and provides the turnaround for a historic series victory in England. He has played an atrocious shot to get out for a duck in the first innings, and is the last of India's recognized batsmen, when at 145 for 5 India need to bat for more than two sessions to save the Test. He adds 86 for the sixth wicket with VVS Laxman who gets out with India on 231 for 6. Dhoni rides his luck, survives several edges and bats for 159 balls for his 76. He keeps losing partners, but manages to hang on with Sreesanth, the No 11, until the rain, which has threatened to arrive all day, finally does and ends the Test.

But wait!! if your love is true, if you have faith in each other then there is always hope.
