[Ankit_sharma03]

[Malcolm Merlyn]

He has shortened his stance as well.

Sky does a lot of good stuff, be it masterclasses or such analysis.

He does this slight shuffle across to cover the off stump nowadays when the ball is swinging. The trigger movement begins as the bowler is releasing the ball at the crease.

In England he was asked by Fletcher to lengthen his stride.He was then planting his bat between his legs.His head was the falling over the offside and he was chasing balls outside the offstump. Shastri asked him to shorten his stride and have a back and across movement.

I hope that the trigger doesn't get too pronounced.. can lead to other issues

What is the idea behind doing this?

So that he is a forward press(Fletcher is a blind proponent of this).But this caused him to lose his balance and his head falling over.

So he can meet the ball before it can really start swinging.  I see.

Virat is one of india's best players of the pull shot and handling bounce.....will this new stance not effect his ability playing the short ball especially the ones coming at your head at 140+...can someone explain?

He can make adjusments acc to conditions and he has done that before and will keep doing. Thats what all gr8 players do

He should go play country cricket this time around. It will do him good, if we ever want to have a chance of winning series in England, he should get used to conditions.

I think his schedule is too busy to allow domestic cricket (or so they claim).

[Texan]

We will really only see the difference when he plays in England next.
