SWEEP SHOT | CREATING SCORING ANGLES 🏏🎯

The sweep shot is not simply about getting down on one knee and hitting the ball.

At a high-performance level, it is about creating angles, controlling the bat path, and finishing the shot in a scoring zone.

In this session, we focused on understanding the scoring geometry of the sweep,how small changes in body position, alignment and bat path can change the direction of the ball and create different scoring opportunities around the field.

One of the key focuses was coming into the middle of the line of the ball. This gives the batter greater control over the point of contact and allows the shot to be directed with intention rather than simply swinging across the ball.

We then worked on the finish of the shot.

Where you finish the movement can influence where the ball travels. The objective was to develop awareness of the areas where scoring opportunities are greatest and learn how to manipulate the ball into those spaces.

🎯 Create the angle.
🎯 Control the contact.
🎯 Finish towards the scoring zone.
🎯 Find the gap.

The bigger objective is to help batters move beyond simply learning a shot and start understanding how to use the shot as a scoring tool.

Good batters don’t just play into empty space.

They learn to create space.

They recognise the field, understand the ball’s trajectory, manipulate their body and bat angle, and execute with clear intent.

That’s where technical skill meets game awareness.

Don’t just play the sweep. Create the scoring opportunity.

To coach young learners, I believe I need to come up with ideas that relate to them and create more interest in the coaching process.

So, here it goes my creativity with cricket coaching through a comic! 🏏🎨

Sometimes, coaching is not just about teaching the game. It’s about finding different and creative ways to connect with young players and make learning more enjoyable and interesting.

This is my little attempt to bring cricket + creativity + fun together. 🏏✨

Leg Spin Bowling Masterclass | Developing the Foundations of Leg Spin 🏏

In this focused 1-to-1 bowling session, I worked with a young and promising cricketer from England who was struggling to generate consistent spin on the ball.

Rather than immediately focusing on speed, variations, or simply bowling more deliveries, we went back to the foundations of leg-spin bowling and broke the action down into smaller, more manageable components.

The objective was simple:

Understand the movement. Build the correct positions. Then allow the ball to spin.

🏏 Understanding the Palm Position

One of the first areas we addressed was the position of the palm at the beginning of the bowling action.

For a young leg-spinner, the relationship between the hand, palm, wrist, and ball can significantly influence the ability to generate revolutions. We worked on creating a more consistent starting position and developing awareness of where the palm should be directed as the delivery develops.

The player was encouraged to understand the position rather than simply copy a movement.

Developing Wrist Movement

We then isolated the wrist action.

The focus was on understanding how the wrist moves through the delivery and how that movement contributes to creating rotation on the ball.

Instead of trying to force the spin, we worked on allowing the wrist to move naturally and consistently through the release.

The goal was to create revolutions with control, rather than simply trying to bowl harder.

Palm Orientation Towards the Batter

A major coaching cue throughout the session was:

“Keep the palm straight towards the batsman.”

POWER HITTING | EXPANDING THE SCORING RANGE 🏏💥

28 July 2026 | Qatar Domestic Players

Another high-performance power-hitting session focused on one key objective: learning to access more scoring areas without relying on straight hitting.

Building on the learning from our previous power-hitting sessions, we deliberately restricted straight shots and challenged the players to target three specific areas:

🎯 Square Leg
🎯 Mid-Wicket
🎯 Extra Cover

The focus was on recognising good-length deliveries and learning how to convert them into scoring opportunities square of the wicket.

Rather than simply asking players to “hit harder”, the session challenged them to explore:

• Shot selection
• Bat swing and bat speed
• Body positioning
• Weight transfer
• Creating space
• Accessing different scoring angles
• Maintaining intent through the shot
• Expanding their natural hitting range

The restriction on straight hitting created a valuable challenge. Players had to think differently, adapt their movement, and find ways to generate power into areas they may not naturally target.

That’s where high-performance practice becomes valuable.

Constraints create awareness. Awareness creates adaptation. Adaptation expands performance.

The session went extremely well, and it was great to see the players enjoying the process of exploring the full range of their stroke play while competing with themselves to find better and more efficient ways to score.

We are not just training players to hit the ball harder.

We are training them to recognise opportunities, create scoring options, and access the entire field with intent.

Train with purpose. Expand your range. Own the field.
