BATTING PRACTICE (cont’d)
SELECTING THE PITCH
1. NOTE:
Vertical (elevation) and horizontal (swivel) must both be adjusted whenever
you change speed or spin.
Always have the batter step away from the wicket area before adjusting speed or spin.
BALL SELECTION
1. Never mix different type of cricket balls.
2. Be careful not to mix new with old balls, or balls from different manufacturers.
3. Balls must be consistent in type and amount of wear to produce repeatability.
4. NEVER USE WET BALLS!
Real leather OR balles designed to work in cricket machines are best.
Discard old or soft leather balls from your Crick Attack batting sessions. Similarly,
discard older worn cricket pitching balls.
