Bowling:

• Bowling Alignment: Keep arms in close to body during run up, hips and shoulders on the same plane at back foot landing, head steady with eyes level
• Bowling Power: Accelerate gradually in the run up, pull front arm strongly down the target line and keep elbow close to the body
• Outswinger: Point seam towards 1st/2nd slip, release ball off index and second finger, position shiny side of ball to leg side, follow through across the body
• Inswinger: Point seam tto fine leg, release ball off middle finger, position shiny of ball to off side, follow through down side of body
• Spin Bowling: Spin the ball as hard as you can , firm grip, rhythmic approach, high front arm, side on at delivery, drive over braced front leg

Fielding:

• Try to become as good a fielder as you are a batter or bowler, 80% of your time is spent in the field

Batting:

• Stance: Feet approximately shoulder width apart, knees relaxed slightly bent, eyes level, weight on balls of feet
• Concentration - Maintain a fine focus on every ball from the bowler’s hand to the face of the bat
• Balance - hitting off a stable base by adjusting body weight to the length of the ball, positioning head in line with the ball
• Technique – keep hands in close to body and allowing front elbow to push through in the direction of the shots.
