Cricket is all about your instinct and reflexes.A batsmen never has time to think when a ball is bowled at 90 miles per hour.Key to success is how quickly one can judge the length by keeping basics right

I think this is very interesting that Indian boys are told at a young age to read the ball from the hand. Hence I think that is why Indian batsmen play spin so well.

This is classic cricket coaching, front foot, bat drive etc... Modern day coaching is all about shot selection...defend only when necessary, at all times look for the rope!

Trainer: don't move forward until i release the ball.. Abd : WTF is that??

Schewag does not move his feet but scores 😂😂

Good tips for younger players, really it's about getting them to watch the ball as closely as possible as they lack the concentration at first. Picking the length early is hard to do but ultimately is one of the most important factors of batting to get into a good position so a good video to show people who don't have access to a coach. I remember doing the exact same exercise in the U13's and it helped me a great deal. And for people wondering why their aren't balls going right at his head, children at that level can't bowl bouncers as their bodies don't allow the strength required and a bouncer might reach chest height at most. The child in the video also demonstrates very good defensive technique for his age and milking the ones and twos with defensive shots will make you an age group run machine haha.

I do regularly like that at the same time I played really well in the last tournament , my coach never said that he just said u should ready for the ball so early Nd focus on the ball ,u have to have a ability to change ur shot according to the length .... including u can leave the ball at the very last moment ....I followed Nd playing well ...

ab de villers doesnt follow this....he moves before the bowler bowls when he starts to play with bowlers mind

Morale of the story, don't come early....😂😂😂

The little guy perfectly timed it if you watch it properly.The coach never let the ball out of his hands and so he has the liberty to say "ball abhi chuta nahi, aur tumne movements le li" , but the little boy reacted only when the ball reached the position when it was about to be thrown.

🇳🇵Nepal is doing wonders under his coaching ❤😍

Don't forget to watch Steve Smith in net. The right blend of passion with excellence. Feel free to dominate.

Now he is coach of Nepal changing the way we play. We're lucky to have Monty sir!

Lovely. I’ve always struggled with my timing of footwork, this helped a lot

Practice makes man perfect. Nothing is going to work apart from that

AB D, Smith , Viru paji never followed any of such rules,still they are legend.

Coach during video: you came early Coach after video:beizzati karati tune😤😤😤

Steve Smith left the chat.

That's how u coach 👊 brilliant

Never thought the game has so much of technicality. Everything seem so easy.

Good work from the boy. He understood well. In match conditions this drill is a bit different. the bowler will always try to bowl the ball. In that case we have very less time. May be useful against spinners but not against the fastest bowlers of the world

I have improved my batting skills

Brilliant... i have this problem too

Suddenly everybody in KZfaq comment section are cricket experts...wow. Keep commenting Asap

Great teacher sir🙏🙏🙏making the student learn from their mistakes.....

probably helps with bowlers who vary their pace

Name of the coach, Monty Desai from Venus cricket Academy

Batting stance of this kid is solid!

Sir talents are not seen in nets it can be seen on streets

The coach is explaining very nicely.Nice Video.

I disagree. At 1:04, the kid picked out the line very early by watching the elbow and wrist position and got into a stance so that he could play close to the body and then the coach discouraged him from doing so. Let him use his intuition

One more thing we can do is take little baby step forward with the bat halfway up and then when the bowler releases the ball check his hand followed by where the ball pitched and then react according to the situation to go forward or backward. This little thing helps in playing an aggressive shot coz with this position batsman generates its body flow.

Nice coach, i need a coach like him

I'm fairly new to this game, especially batting. Why should the batsman be still if the ball isn't bowled. Is it to ensure that the batsman doesn't have a pre-determined shot in mind?

Good coaching Sir , where is your academy

Absolutely fantastic way to teach basics at ground level..

Batting is all about reading the ball correctly and adjust your shot we have many example of legend batsman who were shuffle before releasing of ball Brian Lara and Ricky pointing are a few example

greatest man to coach Nepali Team 🙏🙏🙏🙏

why would you call this picking length and then only bowl full pitches balls

amazing video sir can you please give or make videos tips about batting

My stance is always move across and back, me copied it from jack kallis..I would always shuffle a bit,let it be any length ball,it gives additional reaction time rather than glueing in crease and wait for a 140kmph ball to be released,lol

Hit a like for that batsman. He did very well in correcting his mistake...

You look like saurav ganguly

Liked for his quick learning

Reading the ball from the hand is important.

with this pace you have plenty of time to think and do what ever u want . at 90 mph u just rely on natural reflexes 😊

Nice! Very Good Point! Actually this ONE thing makes a HUGE difference in what kind of a player one will become.

1:11 "you came early"

Great video where is ur academy?

sehwag and tailenders disliked this video :)

After watching this video Andre Russell be like:Am I joke to you?

So you would still react only when the ball is right on your face at the time of facing a pacer doing 90+ eh?

all the videos i see the coach teaching kids to play in front foot....they are always fed half volleys!!!...this is good

Sir all cricket players have a certain or particular stance!! and some may move back and across and play!! some may shuffle across the crease.. it doesnt matter . when the ball is hit by the batsman his head has to be still and the feet should move!! thats all.. so that boy played well!! he didnt come early

Apart from training... I strongly believe it's all about mental ability, focus, patience and own technique.

Batsman you came too early lol

@Srinivas Panchari oh cmon it's an art to pick the length of the ball.....

very good coaching

First time when i watch this the coach look like sourav ganguly

you are briliant where is your academy

Hmm best coach❤️😜

on the first ball he took a short stride towards the ball to keep himself balance and then when he picked the length he took a comfortable stride to the ball ,he could have gone on the backfoot if it was a backfoot ball because that was a short stride, that is actually a good technique , you told him that is wrong but actually he was doing right

This is for spin I want a video about the same thing but for pace bowling.

Sir I play better then normal players. Coz I play lot of classic shots nd straight drives. Never went for training nd those who used to bowl me they'll end up coz i give no lbw nd no wickets... I trained myself playing with slim stick. But now I can't play i broke my leg last after the accident my dream was to play for India. I ended up like this. I hope there is someone who is better then me....

Sir at the time of jump no bowler can change anything in the bowl so the best time is to pick the ball when the bowler takes his jump

Sir How to improve backlife ?? Sir mein kbhi pura short complete nii kar paate hai Kaise krenge ???

Monty Desai best coach of Nepal

I love it how he thinks he knows everything but in the end it's the kids style of play I personally start on leg stump then slide across where he's forcing the kid to play dead straight

that's called trigger movement and every batter is different it's not like that he came onto the front foot..he just went into a position where he could go both forward and back

very good

I know this guy his name is Monty Desai who teaches in Venus cricket Academy 👍👍

Aap kon ball se practice kar rahe ho

End of the day scores matter whether u react first or last😎

Simple and easy drill to improve batting

Best Batting tips you have

Very good coaching to young boys👍

Don't discourage him ,let him play his own game,every batsman his own style

Fully disagree... batsman has instinct and they react when bowl is about to release some batsman had tendency to come forward and some stays at their position it about the bounce when they actually react in nano seconds... it's just a simple game of watch and hit... more you complicate things then more you failed to score big!!

First time I’ve ever seen a subcontinent pitch with grass. I’m shook.

Great video, even helped me a bit

nice sir

Plz tell me how to put in swing I ma gona to cricket coachin but I don't know

Sir aap kidhar prectis karate ho

I was taught differently.. maybe they teach it differently in set countries... in England I've been taught to get the front foot out, so that you're prepared to drive and then you can quickly shift to the back foot if the ball is short... instead of waiting for the ball to pitch; our neutral position was front foot.. so that if the ball is bowled, we don't have to worry about the front foot and can just go for shot selection... I'm not saying your method is wrong, I'm just wondering that maybe I should change my technique now

Good coach for batting practice

Nice coaching sir

But now a days because of variations in pitches one have to judge the length according to pitch because some pitches have low bounce some have high bounce some are slow some are fast.. watching the ball till end is the best remedy to bat on any type of pitch.

Please tell where is this academy located.

Sir plz can you join the academy sir plz My passion my life cricket sir plz I am from Charminar Hyderabad
