🏏 This week at training, our coaches are focusing on one of the most important batting fundamentals — the contact point.

🏏 This week at Pupkewitz Motors Cricket Academy, we’re focusing on one of the most important fundamentals of batting – your stride.

A strong forward stride helps you get to the pitch of the ball and play with confidence, while an effective back-foot movement gives you the time and space to handle shorter deliveries.

Mastering when to go forward and when to go back can make all the difference at the crease. 💪🔥
