Ben Martindale's Composed Century — Kent vs Nottinghamshire, Metro Bank One Day Cup

Ben Martindale's century for Nottinghamshire showcased excellent batting footwork and an ability to play both off the front and back foot with equal ease.

His decisive movements allowed him to get into strong positions, enabling him to drive through the covers or pull effectively.

This balanced footwork is crucial for adapting to different lengths and speeds of bowling, ensuring optimal power transfer and shot execution. Junior batters should practice shadow batting with a focus on quick, precise foot movements towards and away from the ball's line.
