Running Between Wickets

This document provides guidance on effective batting between the wickets in cricket. It emphasizes the importance of aggressive running to score runs and pressure the fielding team. Batters should work together as a pair to identify opportunities for runs by targeting gaps in the field and weaker fielders. They should always be looking to convert single runs into doubles and triples by running quickly between the wickets. The non-striker must be prepared to back up the striker by getting down the pitch as the ball is released and anticipating a run each ball. Good communication through loud and clear calling is essential to avoid run outs.

on the leg side).
On multiple runs, batter running to the DANGER end
should call
Accepting other call- Hesitation is usually the main
cause of run outs

GOOD RUNNING STYLE


Carry your bat in both arms/hands
Run straight and PUT EFFORT in/fast!
Change the bat in your hands before turning so you
can see ball/threat from fielder

GOOD TURNING TECHNIQUE


Small turning circle
Start to turn early, get low to improve braking,
sliding bat/touching bat just beyond crease.
Dont stretch too much to keep weight back in
direction of next turn
Ground the bat/slide the bat just beyond crease
Power away from turn- use CALL as you turn to
energise. Dont over run the crease!
