Step 1:

Lean forward

Lean towards the line of the ball with head and front shoulder, placing the weight on the bent front leg

    Watch the Bob Woolmer coaching DVD. Don't swing the bat round like above - keep it vertical at all times but rotate your top wrist to the left to turn the blade. This way you leave more bat in front in case you miss time the shot. You still get the same result but less chance of getting out.
