Grip the ball as you would a two-seam fastball, holding it with your middle and index fingers at the point where the seams are closest to each other.\n \n2.  Spread your middle and index fingers outward and along the seams, extending them to the point where the seams are farthest from each other. (Image 1)\n \n3.  Support the ball with your thumb and small fingers. Your thumb should lie along the seam stitched on the underside of the ball, while the ball should rest in a "V" formation. (Image 2)\n \n4.  Go into your windup. Remember to pivot and shift your body weight from your back foot forward toward home plate. (Image 3)\n \n5.  Keep your wrist loose as you release, and try not to throw the ball with more than an adequate amount of force.\n \n6.  Throw the pitch using the same motion as a fastball, flicking your wrist downward as you release. (Image 4)\n \n7.  Follow through. Your feet should parallel each other at the end of the pitch, and your throwing arm should come across the front of your body. (Image 5)

1.   Hide the ball in your glove.  \n  \n2.   Grip the ball with your middle and index fingers perpendicular to the seams at their widest point, with your thumb underneath the ball.  \n  \n3.   Spread your top fingers apart slightly and keep your ring finger and pinkie tucked into your palm. (Image 1)  \n  \n4.   Hold the ball firmly, applying pressure with your middle finger and thumb. Try not to let the ball rest in the palm of your hand, and keep your index finger relaxed. (Image 2)  \n  \n5.   Wind up into the pitch. Use the same pitching motion as in your other pitches so that the batter cannot predict a curveball. (Image 3)  \n  \n6.   Keep your wrist relaxed. After drawing back the pitch, hold your wrist so that the back of your hand points toward your body. (Image 4)  \n  \n7.   Roll your wrist downward and to the right (if you are right-handed) or to the left (if you're left-handed) immediately before releasing the pitch. (Image 5)  \n  \n8.   Release the pitch and follow through by bending your wrist. A right-hander should finish with the palm facing in toward the chest. The top of your thumb should be facing up.  \n  \n9.   Throw the ball between the batter and home plate if you're a left-handed pitcher facing a left-handed batter or if you're a right-handed pitcher facing a right-handed batter.

The basic idea is to avoid splinters and bits breaking off the edges by gently tapping the bat with a mallet.Otherwise skip the following excellent advise. \n\nWhen you buy a bat, it is only lightly pressed at the \nfactory and the fibres are still really soft - if you \npress your fingernail into the surface you'll see what \nI mean. 'Knocking in' is the process of compressing and \nbinding these lose fibres together to allow the bat to \nwithstand the constant impact from the ball. You're \npreparing the bat to be HIT.Your aim is to 'bash' the \nsurface of the blade - not the back or the bottom of \nthe bat (that can be disastrous!) You can use an OLD, \nGOOD QUALITY ball in your hand or put it in a sock or \ntry different types of 'knocking in' mallets - my \npreference is for the solid wood version. Any good shop \nor mail order company does them for around a fiver - \nbuy one, you'll need to make use of it many times. \n\nStart 'knocking in' by gently working on the edges and \ngradually knocking them into a rounded, compressed shape \nonce you get started you'll soon see the change in \ntexture. Then keep working on the edges and the area \naround the toe of the bat - not the bottom of the bat - and think of trying to use glancing strokes that resemble \nyou edging a ball to gully, then 3rd slip, 2nd slip, etc. \nwhile all the time gradually increasing the strength of \nthe impact.Don't forget to give the middle a good going \nover but the priority should be the outside inch or so \nof the bat round both edges and the toe. \n\nHow long do you have to go through this mind numbingly \nboring routine? Slazenger recommend 6 hours - now that \nis a long, long time. If you try to do it in good 5 \nminute blocks it becomes more manageable. Essentially \nyou don't want to think about using the bat until it's \nhad at least 2 hours(24 x 5 minute sessions) but ideally \nif you can manage double that then all the better. If you \nhave the time and space and tolerant neighbours then the \nprocess can be done in a week or so - most of us need a bit \nlonger! But there's no point going to the other extreme - \nbuying a bat one season and not using it until the next. \nAnyway, such self-denial would be way beyond the likes \nof me or most cricketers I know! So use the bat but be \nsensible. \n\nAfter the initial 2-4 hours 'knocking in,' try using it \nfor hitting short catches and then in the nets against \nOLD, GOOD QUALITY balls and only against the spinners/ \nslow mediums first. A new or cheap ball can do a lot of \ndamage to an under-prepared bat and digging out a fast \nyorker in the nets can spell doom and destruction for \neven the best prepared bat! So try and middle the ball \nand play the bat in - resist the wild slogging for once! \n  \nThen do some more 'knocking in' and then some more and \nthen some more and then some more... \n\nRemember, SOME bats need a LITTLE linseed oil - but no \nmore than a couple of teaspoonfuls per season! However, \nALL BATS NEED KNOCKING IN. Gunn & Moore now provide this \nservice for around 10 pounds in their GM NOW range. For \nmost people that's 10 lbs well spent. But don't forget you'll still need to keep 'knocking in' throughout the life of your bat, knocking out indentations, evening out dead \nspots in the bat, strengthening area around glued repairs \netc. A cricket dealer I know recommends that the day you \nstop 'knocking in' is the day you throw the bat in the bin.

carefully place flat on a paper towel and fold over with the extra side. then place in a sunlight area ( inside or out) within the day (depending upon where your at) you'll see it drying. If its in a rainy climate, then placing them flat on a cookie sheet and turning on the oven on low, for 30 to 45 minutes will also dry them quicker. ( keep a watch on that process, they tend to dry quick)\ngood luck with that and have fun!

hold the bat stem a little tighter and be more authorative wen you swing. batting gloves help absorb shock and prevent blistering. but you are being apprehensive at the plate. be more aggressive wen you decide to swing.

By the way, if you were from England then you will eat 'fibre' in your automovile in your way to a Cricket game.\n\nFor quick snacks it is hard to beat dried foods like apricots, dates or raisins.  Fresh fruit like orange, apple or pears can make an excellent snack.\n\nDon't forget or be afraid of almonds, for snacks.  Pack with fiber but also good fats and minerals.\n\nIf you have time to prepare food, then I would recommend baking your own muffins with whole wheat flour.  I make mine and add wheat bran or oatmeal bran or flaxseed.   Great source of fibre and nutrition are the legumes, like lentils, beans, garbanzo (chickpeas for you English!) Mix your legumes with brown rice and you'll have a great meal loaded with fiber and complete protein.\nAnother great source of fiber are avocados.  I enjoy them sliced between whole wheat sandwiches.\nIn a coffee grinder I prepare a mix of flaxseed, almonds and sunflower seeds.  This is loaded with a lot of good nutrition and fiber.  I use this to sprincle on anything from yogurt, cereal, smoothies, salsas, etc.  I put it in a little baggy and have it handy in places like the office, etc.

The first step is to establish a proper grip, putting two fingers (index and middle) around a seam of a baseball. Then pull back behind your head and during the act of throwing pull down on the ball to produce the rotation, releasing the ball at the proper point.\n(the two links are alternate grips for a curveball)\nhttp://www.hellbored.com/uploader/uploads3/DSCN1761.JPG\nhttp://www.hellbored.com/uploader/uploads3/DSCN1762.JPG

We use a wooden template that we lay down over the plate, it shows where the chalk lines should go.\n\nIf I had to do it manually, I guess I would make the front of the batter's box first, because it just has to be parallel with the front edge of the plate.  From there, I would add the perpendicular lines that form the inside and outside limits of the left and right handed batter's boxes, then I'd finish with the line that forms the back of the boxes.  Doing it this way would give the best shot at insuring the lines are straight and square.  From there, I would do the baselines.  Start with the straight line that forms one of the two back edges of the plate and follow it straight through to 1st (or 3rd) base, then go bacl and do the other one.  We don't line the paths from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd.
