- Description
- The ability to run between the wickets is an essential skill for cricket batting. Effective running between the wickets can increase the scoring rate during a match, and allow batsmen to get full value for their shots while at the crease. The increase in popularity of the shorter game formats for cricket, such as one-day and Twenty20 (T20) cricket, have augmented the need for batsmen to maximize scoring. Due to a limit in the number of available overs, one-day and T20 cricket dictate that batsmen take greater risks to increase the run scoring rate. Petersen et al suggest that one method adopted by batsmen is to attempt more runs between the wickets. Increasing the speed of running between the wickets could assist with this process. Cricket batsmen need to achieve a high velocity as quickly as possible when running between the wickets, as the sprints occur over relatively short distances (i.e. the length of a cricket pitch is 17.68 meters [m]). Furthermore, when completing multiple runs, batsmen must be able to decelerate effectively so that they can place the bat within the crease, turn, and continue running towards the opposing crease.
