Despite my location I've actually come to accept this17. The importance of footmarks
Disagree, to say the least.21. Playing straight.
22. Similarly, vertical bat shots (when referred to as somehow being more correct than horizontal bat strokes).
Who overrates over rates?forgive me for the delay
23. over rates
I'll explain myself.Disagree, to say the least.
If you use your wrists well, even early in your innings you can work straight balls square of the wicket either side without too much danger, certainly much more profitable than weak straight drives that roll past the bowler to mid off. As for vertical bat strokes, they tend to be far less profitable as well as not necessarily being safer or more correct than a well executed cut shot or pull/hook shot, not only this, but once the ball gets to a certain height (about chest height), vertical bat shots get very difficult and then pretty much impossible, whereas horizontal bat shots can be played to a ball anywhere between hip height and head height basicallyDisagree, to say the least.
it matters when you consider lower positions are more likely to have to bat with the tailBatting positions outside the top 3.
What I mean by that is how we hear in NZ a bit on how Anderson and Watling should swap positions, or how Michael Clarke bats better at 5 instead of 4 etc. as if it really matters lol.
yeah, balance and head position just as important IMOFootwork.
