Another factor for young cricketers to remember when aligning their head position to their off stump, is to take into account the angle of the bowler - for example the angle of a left arm-over-the wicket bowler is likely to take the ball further away from your off stump, and will be safer to leave, than a right arm over-the-wicket bowler (for a right hand batsman). Elite batsmen will often slightly realign themselves to take this angle into account. Possibly failing to do this was the mistake Andrew Strauss made when bowled by Bollinger in Adelaide ? As they say all good high order batsman "know where their off stump is". Inevitibly on occasion it will be cartwheeling back towards the wicketkeeper, however the benefits of this tactic continue to be employed to great effect by all the best players.

I watched an ODD here a few weeks ago against S.A. Good strong breeze behind bowler who changed field half way through an over. Put in 4 slips and 2 gullies. First ball after change a top Qld batter tried to square drive. Result - another wicket to Dan Christian!! Good to see Adam Maher doing well for the Tigers. I thought Xzvier Doherty would have kept the Poms quiet but this is a different team - they are prepared to move out of their crease unlike a lot of earlier teams.

Well done. It's a bit hard if you end up not out but remember everyone gets knocked over early from time to time and as such making sure you cash in and make a really big score when you get a start is important! I'd refer you back to the article in terms of a check list to identify your mistake and add that you need to be precise as you can in defending the balls you need to, that is if it's not hitting the stumps you don't need to defend it. Good luck. Mark Hi Jake

Both times i have got out, it has been early. both were because of playing that defensive front foot shot at a ball swinging away outside off. I think my mindset when i go out is that earlty i have to defend everything.? like i am TO carefull? Advice? Hi, Mark
