EPIP Helpsheet for Cricket () Section One Skills – Remember you will need to identify three skills that you saw as particular strengths of that participant, as well as three skills that you saw as particular weaknesses. Skills within Cricket could be: Forward Defensive Backward Defensive Cover Drive Stance Leg Glances Square Cut Sweep Head Position Straight Drive Lofted Drive Off Glance Flick Shot On Drive Think about the timing of these techniques as any moment where they mis-time would mean that this could be a weaker area e.g. mis-timed interception, mis-timed jump for an interception/pass etc. Once you have found the strength or weakness, explain WHY it was a strength or weakness. Think about the phases of the technique: Preparation (what was their body position like prior to the start of the technique?) Execution (what was the actual technique like in terms of action flowing, jerky etc.) – Recovery (what happened with the follow-through of the technique action?) Result (Did the technique end up exactly like it was supposed to e.g. did the shot go in? did the pass reach the target?) E.g. A strength of the batsman was their forward defensive. This was because in preparing they showed good flexion of the knee joint, which allowed them to generate enough power to make a quality forward stride and get the bat into the correct position. The action was fluent and they always followed through after each shot was made.
