Ashes 2023: Jonny Bairstow Can Benefit By Training With A Tennis Ball, Says Adam Gilchrist

Legendary Australia wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist believes that Jonny Bairstow can benefit hugely by going back to basics by training with a tennis ball, especially after the England glovesman missed a series of catches and a simple stumping opportunity in the hosts' two-wicket defeat in the Ashes series opener at Edgbaston.

"I personally would be doing a lot of work with a tennis ball. Hitting balls with a tennis racquet so it's soft, and slow, start to get a bit of relaxation in your movement. Ian Healy was the best at this. Getting your foundation right, then if you have to dive, back your natural ability. Get the foundation right. Slower, soft, more supple movements, particularly over the stumps."
