My son is 15 and loves batting but not scoring a lot of runs at the moment. I think it’s because he’s not practicing the right way. I’d like to ask about how many balls he should be hitting each week before a game and what drills should he concentrate?

I was just wondering if you have any tips on how to bat when you’re coming of a few low scores and a bit low on confidence. How you should just go about it?

My son is 14 and I want to help him play the pull and hook shots the right way. Is it better to teach him to play the shots with his hands coming up under the ball or try and get his hands up higher and over the ball so he has a better chance to hit the ball along the ground?

How important is the communication between two batters to build a good partnership?

Where should your head be towards during your stance while the bowler is releasing the ball. I am keen to know your opinion!

A comment more so than a question. We always talk about the importance of batters batting in partnerships and supporting their team mate at the other end.

A classic case just occurred in the 2nd test Australia v South Africa. Mitchell Starc last ball of the 17th over and Sarel Erwee is into his batting position with Starc steaming in.

Just as he was about to bowl the ball Theunis de Bruyn at the non strikers end has become very lazy and starts to walk out of his crease before Starc bowls the ball.

Starc quite rightly runs through the crease and gives de Bruyn a warning for backing up too far. It was ridiculously to far and causes an unnecessary break in play.

Sarel Erwee then has to take strike again as Starc runs in for the last ball of his over and is unfortunately trapped LBW and dismissed for 21.

Poor batting by de Bruyn in letting his team mate down and to compound the issue de Bruyn is out 3 overs later.

One wicket brings two.

I’d love to get some feedback on the strategies batters have to help them relax between balls and then be ready to focus and concentrate for the next ball?
