Basically we have finished the first half of the season and we have a 6 week summer break before the second half of the season starts. I am both a batsman (1st drop) and a bowler but I am having trouble lately getting wickets or runs.
I have a few questions.
Bowling
1. My stock ball is a inswinger and my slower ball is a leg cutter but I would liek to change my stock ball to an outswinger which i find difficult to swing it. should i change to a more side on action? if so where should i pitch the ball good length off stump of good length leg stump??
Batting
2. I always have trouble staying in. Recently i have made really low scores of below 15. My weakness is the leg glance so i usually get bowled leg stump doing a pull shot. What should i do?
Fitness/etc
3. I want to genarate more pace so i am working out over the holidays. what excersises should i do? and also what drills can i do to imrpove my batting and bowling. should i play mroe backyard cricket? or hit the ball agaisnt the wall. Or just practise my bowling action over and over again?
I want to make a significant impact when i come back from the holidays so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
