Over the Wicket: Batting Techniques and Strategies
Mastering the Defensive Shot
Front-On and Firm Block to Mid-Off
Facing deliveries on a tight off-stump line over the wicket requires a solid defensive technique. The "front-on and firm block" is an effective method for negating such deliveries.Here's a step-by-step guide to executing the shot:
- Stay perpendicular to the trajectory of the ball, with your bat raised in front of your body.
- As the ball approaches, move your front leg forward and plant it firmly on the ground.
- Drive your bat forward and meet the ball with a firm, straight bat face, blocking it towards mid-off.
