"Having a good pick up and throw can create run out chances for the team. But to do so you need a good technique and an attacking mind set. Always look to attack the ball from a low position.
This means getting your head low and in line with the ball. Try to collect the ball in the middle of your feet, so if you do miss the ball it will simply hit your back foot, instead of going for runs.
When you have collected the ball shuffle yourself into a balanced position, in order to get your feet in a position, so you can throw the ball quickly and accurately over the stumps."
