On turning tracks when the spinners are on top and any ball might have your name on it, there are certain things that you should absolutely do. Top on that list is using the depth of the batting crease while trying to handle spinners.

As Kane Williamson demonstrated in the first Test, it is not always easy but when used effectively, going back and at times across, could be the best way to handle the spinners, especially on tracks that are raging turners. When the ball is turning a mile, it obviously makes sense to play the ball once it has finally finished turning.

Using the depth of the crease doesn't just mean going back and playing the ball late, but also making minute adjustments when it comes to facing the ball. One of the biggest advantages of this method is that it gives you the time you need to put the bad ball away.
