Q: Australian batsmen at Ball Release…

Top Australian Cricket Batsman - Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, David Warner and Travis Head - all shown here against England adopting similar well-balanced positions at ball release

At ball release they…

• Position their back foot and head close to the line of off stump (the business area)
• Keep their hands close to the body and under the head for optimum balance (creating an imaginary straight line from the head, through the hands to the feet)
• Have their head and body weight slightly forward to enable quick and easy movement forward and back 🏏 🇦🇺
