How To Choose A Guard In Cricket? Middle Or Leg? Cricket Batting Tips - How To Take The Right Guard

[@cryptic6917]

Middle and leg is perfect for me, I'm a tall batsman at 6'5 and I just find the m&l guard more natural. I used to play cricket as a kid and I'm just now getting back into it as a 21 year old and I remember that early on in playing that my coach would always want us to take leg guard in order to see middle and off but I've found that middle and leg guard is the best.

How many of u watching after Smith altering guard in aus vs Ind 3rd test

[@TheUltimateCricketer]

Didn't realise so many people were interested after the 3rd Test! Thanks for watching all!

I always played on middle stump as boy but as I got taller moved to middle & leg and started including the trigger across. Now I’m old and stiff I think I’ll choose outside leg 😂

If you are in England is it better to choose centre guard as the ball bounces more and swings more

[@VDGOAT3]

Good work man, I appreciate ur effort put into the videos , now I have more knowledge on what guard to usually stand on New sub!

Thank you so much for your support and kind comments!

[@shafatfarooq6903]

I get committed to play across the line, and most of the times i get LBW,how can i rectify it?

[@TheUltimateCricketer]

Hi Shafat! Where are you taking guard at the moment? A leg stump guard will minimise your chances of getting out LBW. Instead of trying to play everything square on the leg side, you can try to play through the mid on region.

I bat on off stump let’s me know where the stumps are and I don’t knick the ball at all

Is guard important in t20?

[@TheUltimateCricketer]

Hi Albin, thanks for watching! Yes, similar to other formats the guard is still important in Twenty20. Choose one that plays to your strengths or favourite areas!

[@ajk4400]

Is it okay to be covering the stumps and playing?

[@TheUltimateCricketer]

Hey! You can do that but then you will be at greater risk of LBW. Assuming you would like to do this to play on the leg side more?

Thanks Sai! Appreciate the support!

Hey i have leg stump weakness. Every time ball pitching full on my leg stump I miss and get bowled. That is a ball pitching in the gap between bat and leg. How do I rectify it?

[@TheUltimateCricketer]

Hey Raghu, Thanks for watching! Where are you taking guard at the moment? Have you tried opening up your stance a little so that if its full on your pads its easier for you to play it straight or through the on side?

[@mayank.gaurav]

Turn your weakness into your strength. As suggested - have an open stance and have someone throw down or use a bowling machine to practise defending those deliveries. Also always play those deliveries between mid wicket to straight. Over a period of time you will improve your reflexes to this exact delivery and score a lot of runs. Especially if you have the fielders inside the circle - you can practise playing the 2 bounce boundaries over long on. That way you aren’t over hitting thus lower chances of missing the ball.
