In modern international cricket pull-shot is used as deadly weapon against fast bowlers by the batters that is why the technique of pulling the short pitch deliveries has clinched importance and improved. The researcher has tried to investigate kinematics of the batters' upper extremities in the cricket during executing pulling the short pitch ball. It was investigated that how the batters manage ball's speed, bounce, and uniformity during playing pull shot during competitions. Cricket players participating in HEC Pakistan, universities cricket championship from the Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, and KP, Pakistan were targeted sample of the study. The kinematic analysis was performed by using analysis software. The kinematics of upper extremities of the 12 batters for successful and unsuccessful pull shots were compared by using repeated measure (ANOVA). In better pull shot it was observed that the movement of the shoulders and arms were rapid, while, batters position was closer to line of short pitch ball. The results have shown that best and successful pull shot batters upper extremities joints extension and thus adjustment abilities were comparatively better than the others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
