This Incorporates swing, cut and fielders
1. Cut / Seam - I found out if the socks and the ball is wet and damp, it seems to cut a lot. This happens just when it reaches the lowest part of its swing it has a huge jerk and moves a lot. This is a replication of cut
2. Natural Swing - comes from the wind, to add swing just sort of slice the ball when you hit it, because it comes back in a revolution that way.
3. Stumps - Just Get a bin and put it behind you, just pretend there are slips and a gully so if you edge it you are out.
4. Fielders - To get fielders you use stumps, you have stumps in front of you so that it is in the striking range of the swing of the socks. This means you can knock over the stumps when you hit the ball. Although you have to take the stumps as the gap, this means your aim is to try and knock over the stumps by hitting the ball which will swing and knock it over. Try having around 6 stumps which works very well.
Just Some Other Notes, if you can try get a partner who can hurl the ball at a faster speed so you can practice facing pace. Try get your footwork right with this as well. Most Importantly try driving and not smashing the ball as hard as you can
What You Need -
- 1 Cricket Ball (4 Piece Recommended)
- 6 Socks (1 Stocking is acceptable, but you will not get to face balls that cut)
- 1 Clothes Line (Or 1 Rope)
- A Bat
- 1 Red Texta (Crayon)
Setting It Up -
- Start With Putting The Cricket Ball in One of the Socks
- Now Tie the next sock to the top of it
- Do the Same with all your socks till you have a long stocking type thing with a ball at the end
- Now tie the Stocking on a Clothesline/Rope you have somewhere
- Start hitting the ball and see if it comes back with free movements (Make adjustments till its done)
- Now You Should Be Able to play the Game
- Use The Red Texta to colour the ball part of the sock so you can see it better.
