Fielding
Sliding Stop:

  • This is like the sliding tackle used in football. This can be used either while chasing a ball or cutting it off, on the left or right.
  • This is done by throwing one leg forward as you approach the ball, with the other leg bent and tucked underneath it.
  • Try to land on the thigh of the tucked leg with the leading leg straight. As you slide past the ball, pick it up and get into the throwing position.
  • While chasing a ball to the left of you, the left leg is straight and the right leg is tucked beneath it and for a ball to your right, the right leg is outstretched and the left knee bends, tucking the leg under the right.
  • While fielding close to the boundary, it is advisable to tap the ball inside, instead of picking it up, as the slide may take you into the boundary ropes and you give away a boundary if the ball is in your hands.
