question
Q: In the 1980s we were taught the importance of footwork when batting. A step to the pitch of the ball when the ball was pitched up and a step back in line with the ball when the ball was shorter.
There seems to be minimal feet movement in the modern-day player. The really good players still seem to play the ball late and under their eye line, but their footwork tends to be from the crease.
Has there been a change in coaching and if so how is it better for the batter?
I maybe wrong in my assessment but would like to get other people’s opinions.
