7 things to approach batting tldw 23:00
1. See the ball - Last conscious thought before facing up
2. Grip - does it allow you to present the full face of the bat
3. Set up - does it allow you to move backwards and forwards with purpose
4. Balance - move from stable position to stable position
5. Alignment - front shoulder aligned with where the ball is going to be or with the line of the ball
6. Unweight the bat
7. Point of contact in relation to your eyes dependant on whether you are playing with a straight or cross bat

Thanks for the post guys. I have worked online with Gio in the past and continue to do my SIMPLE metrics for every net session and match since 2022. I have gone from being an above-average 1st team clubbie to fairly good 1st clubbie and to representing my county age group team in the national ECB championship and breaking into the top 10 batters nationally last season (ok, so its the 50+ comp but still!). But more than anything I am calmer and happier at the crease, enjoying whatever time I have in the middle, checking my measurables, and passing on what I can to the youngsters. Also, shout out to the Cricket Matters folk - your clip on draining tension from the shoulders has made a big difference to my alignment. Keep up the good work!

This was fascinating guys. Absolutely love your content. A few questions if I may:
- How long should you spend on that 1 thing
- Do the skills learn with throw downs help when the pace picks up? I feel like my technique falls part because suddenly I am focusing on the pace and it all seems different
- Finally, how do you train someone to move back and forward in response to the length of the ball?
Thanks
