‘Just think you have a great defence to keep their good balls out, and know

where you can hit them for four and where you can get a single to get off strike.’

TRYING TO HIT A BIG ONE

Everyone thinks that the big bats are the reason why the batsmen of today are

hitting it big, and they certainly are one factor, but not the main reason, in my

opinion. The batsmen of today are allowed to work on their techniques of trying

to hit it big in the nets, they do more weights, and no doubt the boundaries are

shorter.

The key to hitting it big is to use your core and how quickly you can rotate

your hips. Just look at the big power-hitters of today, the likes of Chris Gayle,

David Warner, Kevin Pietersen, Andre Russell, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and AB

de Villiers. They all get deep into their crease, load up into the back leg like a

baseball pitcher or a golfer, then press forward and rotate their core and hips as

quickly as they can.

This creates lag in the arms and bat, and creates huge amounts of torque and

kinetic rotating energy, which results in faster bat and hand speed. When you

watch the slow-motion replays of these guys when they hit a massive six, when

they get the bat to the top of their back swing, the first movement is their lower

half or core, and everything else follows after that.

So to practise this, get 20 old balls, go to the middle of the oval, and ask

someone to throw you waist-height balls and try to hit the ball for six by rotating

your core and hips fast and furious first and foremost on the downswing. When

you start to see the ball disappear over the fence, don’t forget to thank me!

You’re welcome.
