Cricket Tips

Sometimes the best cricket tips are overlooked because they are so simple.
We can often get caught up in some quest to find the magical cricket tips, that are going to correct all our problems overnight.

It is quite often the case that we just aren't getting the basics right.

The basics include:

Bowling

Concentrate on getting your line and length right. This consistency frustrates the batsmen, and increases the chances of him playing a silly shot that will get him out.

Batting


Be patient, move the body right in behind the ball when playing your shots and waiting for a loose ball to hit. Bowlers lose concentration and patience when they are bowling to a confident batsmen who isn't playing silly shots.

Fielding

Concentrate on every ball as if it is going to be hit to you. Want catches to come to you. If you are standing in the field hoping the ball doesn't get hit to you in case you drop it, then chances are you will drop the next catch that comes your way.

So focus on the basics as mentioned above and you will see a marked improvement in your game.

Remember there is no one magical cricket tip that will fix all your problems. It is a combination of getting the basics right and implementing new and better techniques.
