================== ARTICLE START ==================
Recently I was asked, “is ‘foot work’ really that important?”

When batting in cricket it is essential to have excellent
footwork. As good foot work is the basis for achieving
excellence in cricket and is the foundation for good batting
technique.

Foot work is absolutely necessary as all successful strokes
start with effective footwork.

If you watch Brian Lara, Michael Vaughan, Ricky Ponting, Sachin
Tendulkar, all of these amazing batsmen have outstanding
footwork, often when these types of players don't perform it is
simply due to lack of footwork.

Good footwork allows you to time the ball well and place the
ball in gaps. It gets you in the optimum position to hit the
ball, so you can hit it where you want and with ease.

If you have been struggling to play a particular shot for some
reason it could be due to poor footwork causing bad timing and
body positioning.

With faster bowlers it is even more essential to have excellent
fast and precise footwork, so that you can get into a balanced
position, in-line with the ball, so you can play the ball with
control.

Getting quickly into position through footwork therefore is
very important.

The more you practice your footwork against both fast and slow
bowlers the easier you will gradually find it. Many players do
what we call trigger movements just before the bowler releases
the ball, this helps get the feet moving into position and into
line much quicker and easier, especially against faster bowlers.


Next time you watch a game on TV watch the batsmen’s feet
really closely as the bowler is about to deliver you’ll see
these small ‘trigger movements’; small foot movements, which
help the batsmen get in position and inline early.

As a batsman it is absolutely necessary to develop your foot
work and foot movement, as all excellent strokes start with
effective and efficient footwork.
