Batting & Throwing

LI: To develop fundamental movements in Cricket.

Today we learnt how to bat and throw overarm with Brian from HPCC (Howick Pakuranga Cricket Club). Below I will explain some essentials.

Throwing:
First you want to stand side on to the target. Next you want to plant your front foot facing the direction of the target, and your back foot in a brace position, making an ' L ' looking position. After this you want to point your non-throwing arm at the target hard draw your arm back and throw the ball making sure it finishes pointing at the target also.

Batting:
First you want to get the bat and hold it in the right position; If you are left handed you need hold the bat with your left hand positioned on top of your right hand. However, if you are right handed you need to do the same except you position your right hand on top of your left hand. Next your feet have to be pointing the same direction you are facing (which is one side depending on your dominant hand and leg). After that you want to swing your arms it gives power and it goes to the direction you were pointing at.

Result:
If you have followed these instructions correctly you may get it right, if not you need to give time and patience to correct yourself and you will eventually get it correctly and done.
