Didn't know what was meant here GT (you don't need all-aspectual details of the game to enjoy cricket) and found these comments from another forum's debate on 'trigger movement':

1.
My trigger movement is a slight step out with the front foot, which opens up the field for different shots.

2.
My back leg goes slightly back and across, then I start transferring my weight onto the front foot which gets me into line and ready to get onto the front foot

3.
I wait for the ball before moving, but then I'm quite flat-footed. Mentally, my instinct is to go forward. What does everyone think on the merits and disadvantages of having a trigger movement? I'm thinking of experimenting with one to improve my footwork.

and 4.
Any really batting coach would probably consider what i do as the ball is about to be bowled as a sin, I dance around on my toes a bit i've always done it to keep my feet moving so i dont get caught on the spot but technecially its probably not a good idea. Seeing as I only play sunday cricket I doubt its a technecial flaw thats going to be exposed massivly however.

EVERY batsman has a trigger movement of some sort, as it it just not possible to start reacting with your feet only after the ball is bowled. There just isnt enough time against the quicks.

A trigger movement is a bad habit usually a result of playing on predictable pitches.

A trigger movement is what Roy Rogers might find himself in if he doesn't watch his footwork.

Trigger movements are more of an issue in Women's Cricket.

To have no trigger movement is to have attained enlightenment.

Just had a call from Charlton Heston. He wants to know if he can be Patron of the 'Trigger Movement' , and where the TM stands on ICBMs for domestic use.

As far as I know Trigger still lives in Peckham - what's the problem?
