When I was growing up, we were taught to play with the bat beside the pad with our head over the ball. My son who is 16 is being told by his coach to get the bat out in front of the pad – is this the modern way and the right advice/coaching?

I think out in front these days ,with Drs umpires tend to give Lbw decisions even with a full stride ,they have become brave.
Back in the 80s if you took a full stride never given LBW .
