Welcome to learning cricket with the uber-awesome Herschelle Gibbs.<br /><br />Today, we dive in depth into the forward defence or the front foot defence shot.<br /><br />Start by marking your stance on or around the middle and the off stump.<br /> <br />As you face the delivery, ensure your front foot is placed forward and down the wicket.<br /><br />Placing your front foot diagonally can compromise your forward defence shot technique.<br /><br />Ensure you reduce the gap between your front foot and the bat as much as possible.<br /><br />You really don’t want the ball to go in between the bat and pad. <br /><br />For the forward defence, make sure your back foot is firmly planted on the crease.<br /><br />For the entire demonstration, visit www.zelusacademy.com <br /><br />Please feel free to check our YouTube channel @ZelusAcademy for more.<br /><br />#LearningCricket #LearningCricketOnline #HerschelleGibbs #ForwardDefenceShot #Zelus #ZelusAcademy<br /><br />
