Hi there. I'm interested in doing some training over the offseason here in Australia since my side's not going to make finals. I'm probably going to start on the 1st of April, which leaves me roughly 27 weeks before game one of 2013/14 to work on a few things.
Just so you know, I'm right handed and my role in the side is a top order batsman, usually around 3-4, and also I'm one of the better fielders in my side, even if it is a lower division of club cricket. Mainly, I'm looking to get more strength for a batsman's role, so when I do play my shots they have a little bit more power in them than just timing the ball to the fence. I'd also like to improve my speed and strength with my throwing in the field. But I just don't know where/how to begin.
If anyone could give me a hand with some ideas for exercise and what not, that would be great. I was thinking of using an exercise plan/idea thing which I found as a basis, but I don't know how good it is.
Thanks!
