Some really good deliveries above when things click into place....
Areas to keep working on:
- Standing tall at release with a braced front leg, pivoting on front foot for added height & rotation out/through action helping through 180 degrees
- Arms working smoothly together, fingers wrapped around the ball to create revs and subsequent turn (i.e. just like opening a round door handle as discussed)
- Driving through action at release straight forwards & getting through 180 degrees. To ensure trajectory isn't too "floaty" and risking making it easier for batsman to use his feet and prevent the ball pitching

Stance/Setup - Try to lower bat slightly so it's balancing comfortably giving enough opportunity to raise up if and generate greater bat/hand speed through the ball on contact when looking to attack balls. (Currently starting very high which is likely to prevent as much bat speed to be generated).
Front foot work - Aim to setup stronger positions than at present, achieving this by maintaining a more upright and straighter back leg to offer a strong position to propel weight forward coinciding with a comfortable stride forwards with front foot. (Tendency to get short strides with front foot but that is contributed to by head falling offside)
Head needs to be level to pickup line and length as quickly and accurately as possible (currently tends to lean off side making it difficult to setup strong positions to work from) and then when playing forwards lean straight towards the line of the ball with front foot and head working in tandem.
