Backlift:
[ Description of the backlift - Video ]
-
Taking the stance described above the most natural lift of the bat
would be from the direction of the slips.
-
Like others things, the back lift also is dependent on the individual
styles of batsmen. The most important point to be remembered is that
whatever one's way of lifting the bat, at the point of contact the
ball must be played with the full face of the bat. This is true for
all the strokes in the game.
-
To play straight, at the top of the back lift, loop the bat and bring
it down over the line of the stumps, close to your pad.
-
Some prefer to keep the bat behind the right foot and lift it up
straighter and bring it down. Here again, the batsman must adopt what
is most comfortable for him.
