Anticipation & Perceptual Motor Skill in Cricket | Dr Oliver Runswick

Lecture 7 of the #ScienceOfCricket series. Dr Oliver Runswick discusses the role of anticipation and perception in successful cricket batting. What should a batter look at? What information do they use to inform shot selection? How should this be coached? And what can a cricket bowler do to influence this? These questions and many more are answered within the lecture, in reference to many studies on the topics of anticipation and perceptual motor skill in cricket.
