This is a page for you young cricket fans, (or old) each week a star player will take us through the shot, bowl or fielding exercise to help you develop your game.

This week Michael Atherton takes us through the front foot forward defensive, (bit of a mouthfull).
michael atherton A Forward Defensive With Michael Atherton:

1) At first this shot will be a bit of an adventure into the unknown, all you have to do at first is get your bat close to your leg so the delivery cant sneak through.

2) Then when the ball is delivered get you foot next to the ball and push down on the ball to force it into the floor.

3) Always keep your eye on the ball to avoid any emberasment.

4) This shot tends to be played at the start of your innings.

5) Whatever you do make sure you dont try to be to agresive with this shot as it could take an edge and go to a feilder.
