DARREN HOLDER, 2004
Running between wickets can be broken
into four (4) main areas of focus:

2. Backing up
3. Turning correctly
4. Sliding the bat

1. CALLING

Three (3) calls - YES/ NO/ WAIT

STRIKER to call on most occasions

NON-STRIKER calls when striker
unsighted
2. BACKING UP
Be moving forward when ball is
delivered

Short strides for balance and reaction
time
3. TURNING CORRECTLY
Carry bat in correct hand for easy
turning (avoid turning blind)

Low body height into crease
Accelerate out of crease like sprinter
(short running stride building up)
Ensure the bat crosses the crease line
4. SLIDING THE BAT
Prepare early


Use the edge of the bat for less
resistance

Decreases distance to be traveled by
providing greater reach (extension of
batter)

RBW PHILOSOPHY
Preparedness to run


Understanding of partner

Understanding of match situation

Communication (verbal & non-verbal)

DRILLS for RBW
Sliding the bat early preparation
Turning correctly series of trials
including 1s, 2s & 3s.
