New Red Ball Batting Session | Playing Medium Pacers with Proper Technique

New Red Ball Batting Session | Playing Medium Pacers with Proper Technique

In this video, I take on a raw batting practice session on a turf wicket, facing medium pacers with a new red ball. The focus of this session is to play with a straight bat, ensuring proper technique while handling the extra bounce and movement that a red ball offers on a turf pitch.

Key Takeaways from this Session:
1. Straight Bat Technique:
• The new red ball offers swing and seam movement, so it’s crucial to play with the full face of the bat.
• Keeping the bat close to the body helps in controlling the shot and avoiding edges.
2. Handling Medium Pace on Turf Wicket:
• Medium pacers get extra movement off the pitch, making timing and shot selection critical.
• The key is to judge the length early and adjust accordingly, whether it’s a front-foot drive or a back-foot punch.
3. Importance of Footwork:
• Good footwork ensures better balance while playing shots, especially against a moving ball.
• Practicing small, controlled foot movements helps in getting into the right position quickly.
4. Batting Against the New Ball:
• The new red ball is harder and has extra bounce, so keeping a steady head position and playing late is important.
• Leaving balls outside off-stump and watching the ball closely helps in avoiding unnecessary risks.

Why Turf Wicket Practice is Important?

Practicing on a turf wicket is very different from a mat or concrete surface. The ball behaves more naturally, and there is variable bounce and movement, making it a great way to prepare for real match conditions. This session focuses on building confidence, shot selection, and proper batting technique in such conditions.

Who Should Watch This Video?
• Cricketers looking to improve their batting technique against medium pace.
• Players who want to handle the red ball effectively on a turf wicket.
• Anyone interested in raw, unfiltered cricket practice sessions.
