Zak Crawley's Solid Defensive Technique — England vs Pakistan Test Match

Zak Crawley displayed impeccable batting footwork and shot selection in defense, moving decisively forward or back to meet the ball directly under his eyes.

His soft hands and balanced stance allowed him to absorb the pace and bounce, negating any potential swing or seam movement.

Junior batters can improve by focusing on a stable head position and ensuring their front foot moves towards the pitch of the ball, or back and across for shorter deliveries, always playing with a straight bat.
