Pitch (It) Up
Pitch (It) Up is a form of serve in which a bowler (pacer) deliberately serves the ball to its maximum length.
What Does Pitch It Up Mean In Cricket
Getting the batter to lean towards the front leg and smash from an uncomfortable stance is the primary objective, which means that there are three possible outcomes for the progression of events:
- play defensive actions;
- to put the ball into play due to the attacking actions of the opponent;
- the batsman will let the ball go (unless it is directed towards the wicket).
It is important to remember that the pitch it up cricket (length) is the most important aspect of any choice. The longer the ball bounces, the more the batter is encouraged to smash it, which increases the chance of making a mistake.
