BATTING - Front Foot Defence
Learning Outcomes
Description Of Activity
Like a shot that simply blocks the ball, the front-foot or forward defense is helpful while getting used to the pitch.
- Any well-pitched delivery headed towards the stumps is a perfect opportunity to play the front foot defense.
- Relax your body and assume a balanced stance with your eyes level.
- Step towards the pitch of the ball with a bent front knee and transfer your weight by leaning forward.
- With a short backswing or none at all, make contact directly below your eyes.
- Remember that a gap between your bat and pad creates the risk of getting bowled.
- Keep the bat angled down to avoid getting caught and play against the line of the delivery.
- If the ball is heading outside off stump, step slightly across the crease and hit the ball with a straight face towards the ground.
