I was talking to a mate who’s also a level 3 cricket coach, and he shared a batting tip I hadn’t thought of or heard before.

“People talk about the importance of a batter’s weight and hands moving through towards where they want to hit the ball when driving, and they’re correct. Another way to look at it is to keep it really simple and ask the batter to focus on making sure the toe of the bat is heading towards where you want to hit the ball.”

I like it.
