i picked up an error in your front foot technique, when you play your front foot strokes instead of just stepping forward, you need to take a small step across with the backfooot first, then move the front foot forward, this is necessary because then you can go back or forward maintaining full control of your stokeplay.

this is also a good technique for newcomers because then they are always moving their feet, which means they can adapt to different situations.

Dude, this is a video to show americans about the game and how to bat basics, while your information is informative and knowledgeable, the scope is first, lets get them picking up a bat and whacking the crap out of a ball ....the way most of us fell in love with the game in the first place. there's an old saying , people don't care how much you know , until they know how much you care. Passion for the game first , minute technical details later.

@uofm97 were r u from in the US

@randomday1234 It's called bowling? What do ya call the game with the pins, then? lol, jk. In all seriousness, I didn't know the act of putting the ball in play was called "bowling". Thank you for telling me while being cool about it. I'm from the U.S., where the sport isn't quite as common as in the rest of the world.

@uofm97 Mate, we dont call it pitching, its bowling :). Also, because I'm from Australia and have played cricket most of my life, when I played softball for mt High School team, I found it difficult

[uofm97]

So a bunch of guys in England stole a bunch of boat paddles and cannonballs from pirate ships to create a game named after an insect?!? Cool! lol, jk. Honestly, I've always found cricket to be in interesting sport. Baseball apparently had origins from cricket, though there's not much resemblance to it nowadays. Cricket looks so much harder than baseball, especially from the batting aspect of it. Pitching looks harder to do as well. Fielding the ball barehanded looks like it would hurt too.

@lightningleaf23 This was made in 2006, before all of those and just before Australia bead England 5-0... But now yes, no better than 5th or 6th in the world..
