Wicketkeeping to pace

Standing back to pace gives the keeper time to follow the ball and receive its bounce. Positioning should respond to the bowler and surface, with movement that supports a clean collection.

Choose the distance with your coach
Observe the bounce from the actual bowler before settling on a position. Standing at the same distance for every pitch can leave the ball arriving at an awkward height.

Track before moving
Watch release, line and bounce, then move in response. A premature step based on expectation can make the actual ball harder to reach.

Finish under control
Complete collection before preparing a return or throw at the stumps. Look for balance after receiving, especially when you have moved sideways.

If several balls reach the keeper near the feet, inspect starting distance and bounce before assuming the gloves are the only problem. A small positioning adjustment may change the task, but it should be checked against the actual bowler rather than guessed once.
