BATTING STROKE SELECTION – By Dr. Gnana Sankaralingam<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

\"Dr.<\/p>\n

\"BATTINGThe batsman’s job is to score as many runs as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

But to build an innings, a batsman needs sound judgement to work out which deliveries\u00a0 to defend, leave or score off.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even top clans batsmen give their wicket away because of poor shot selection, so its not an easy science.<\/span><\/p>\n

The batsman has approximately 12 shots to choose from either side of the wicket.<\/span><\/p>\n

So stroke selection\u00a0 depends on the line, length and speed of a delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are three main lines:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Off stump and outside<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Middle stump<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Leg Stump and outside<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    And there are five main lengths of delivery:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Bouncer\/long hop<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Short of a length<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Good length<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Full length\/half volley<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Full toss<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      For the best chance of building an innings, a batsman needs to move their feet backwards or forwards to get into the best position to play a stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n
