Weights exercises for batsman

[Jakester1288]

Seeing as now I've stopped bowling, what are the best weights exercises to do for batting to improve strength specific to batting? Like, the power through the shots, running between the wickets, etc.

I had this when I was bowling:

Upper:
Push ups
Bench press
Deadlifts
Shoulder Press
Chest flies
Ball crunches

Lower:
BW squats
Squats
BW lunges
Lunges
Leg lifts
Ball crunches
Sprints

Should I keep the same, or is there useless exercises there for batting, and really good ones missing?

Mate if you are any good just don't get out quickly so you do enough exercise running between wickets.

Getting sick of people telling me not to do something that is perfectly safe and beneficial to my cricket.

Sorry Jake, why exactly aren't you bowling again?

Erm, if you are a batsman, then I'd have said that although getting out early is perfectly safe, it's not that beneficial to your cricket.

That doesn't matter anymore, as I go to rep training, and find out I'm opening the batting, which is awesome, but I'm bowling first change, because the team has 2 seamers and 4 spinners. So basically, the coach needs me to bowl, even though I am rubbish.

You don't really need to change too much. Strength and power are strength and power whether you bat or bowl.

More generally I would look at more injury prevention type exercises like hip mobility, core stabilisation (like planks or pallof presses) and flexibility work.
