Kiwi Sport | Batting & Throwing

LI: to develop fundamental movements in cricket.

Today in our first session of Kiwi Sport this term, we learnt how to Bat and throw overarm with Brian from HPCC (Howick Pakuranga Cricket Club). I will explain some essentials when throwing and batting below.

Throwing:
Firstly, you want to stand side on to the target. Next you plant your front foot facing the target, and have your back foor in a brace position. After you have done this, you want to point your non-throwing arm at the target for aiming. Finally, with the ball in the throwing hand, draw your arm back and throw the ball. Make sure it finishes pointing at the target aswell.

Batting:
When batting, pick the cricket bat up and hold it correctly. Place your dominate hand on the top of the handle and your non-dominate hand at the bottom. Next you want to place your feet firmly on the ground and stand facing your dominate side, but keep your eyes on the target. After this, you want to ready your bat and make sure that when you hit your target, don't hit too far to your left or right side otherwise it won't hit towards your target area.

Result:
If you follow these instructions, you may get it correctly, if you fail, you are able to practice to perfection. Correct yourself and finally perfect it.
