Coaches Corner

It is essential that cricketers consider what factors effect the size and weight of the bat required to play the game to one's full potential. Far too many cricketers today have bats that are incorrectly suited to the game that they play and consequently do not play well and lose interest and enjoyment in the game.

The first aspect to consider is height. If you are tall, for example is 6'4" and using a bat that is ½ inch shorter than full size, you will find that the ball travels under the bat far too often and you will often have back problems. You may find that the bat is nice in the balance but it will be far too impractical to use to its full effect. If the same bat was placed in the hands of a player of height 5'4" it would be far more effective.

The same scenario goes for the bat that is 3lbs2ozs. Being used by a player of 15 years old, of slight build and who is just trying to break into the first team, the heavy bat will ruin the individuals technique. When he or she does, the ball might go a long way BUT they will only hit one out of every ten balls that are bowled to them. This very scenario is one reason why youngsters of today are not playing as much cricket as in the past, they cannot get any enjoyment out of it. They learn to have a big strike at the ball but cannot survive when they come up to a higher level of cricket.

When an individual gets to a higher level of cricket there can be a problem with the bat being too light, this causes one to play too early and have a slight chance of partially completing the shot before the ball has arrived.
