People put a lot of effort over complicating things when it comes to batting. As a result they tend to focus on the less important factors of batting when in fact they should be focusing on the obvious. It's probably human nature to think the obvious is too simple and will not work, when it is usually the simple things that only really work.
We will review some of the basic tips when it comes to batting, and getting these simple things right will take your batting to the next level.
Good Defensive Technique
The top cricketers of the world play fantastic cricket shots, but they also have a solid defensive stroke. You don't see the best players trying to score off every delivery. That is because they can't and play the ball on its merits. You always try to score off the bad deliveries if you can, but when you get a good ball, it is a matter of survival with a good defense technique.
Keep Your Eye On the Ball
This sounds quite easy to do, but you often find that those players that actually do this consistently will tend to be playing more correct cricket shots, and place the ball where they intended. This means looking at the ball from the moment it leaves the bowlers hand, to where it strikes your cricket bat. A lot of the time players do not look at the ball just as it is close to hitting the bat, which can lead to bad strokes.
These are just two simple but very effective batting techniques, that when perfected can really improve your overall batting ability.
