Leg glance Dehradun Cricket Academy https://dehraduncricketacademy.com/learn/leg-glance/ The leg glance redirects a suitable delivery on the leg side using control and timing. It is different from swinging across the line in an attempt to force every straight ball into the leg side. Read the line first Identify whether the ball is on a line you can glance safely. A delivery threatening the stumps may need a straighter bat or a defensive response instead of a premeditated leg-side stroke. Keep contact controlled Follow the ball closely and observe the bat face through contact. Ask your coach to inspect whether your hands guide the ball or close the face too early. Know the field Identify the intended scoring area and the nearby fielders. A technically clean touch can still be a poor decision if it directs the ball straight to a catcher. Compare a controlled glance into space with a forced attempt against a ball outside off stump. Discuss why the delivery, rather than the name of the drill, should determine the shot. Add a partner’s running call only when the contact is under control.
