Traditionally in sporting tasks, expertise has been thought of as the attainment of near flawless technical abilities. While contemporary views have become more holistic in nature, in certain sporting domains it is still not clear what exactly encapsulates expertise. This study sought to further understand the crucial and defining characteristics of cricket batting; a complex and difficult perceptual-motor skill with minimal error tolerance and severe time constraints. Eight elite cricket batting coaches, who themselves were former international or state level batsmen, were interviewed to identify characteristics of cricket batting expertise. From this, a conceptual model was developed in relation to an expert within their performance environment. This model highlights several key factors experts possess beyond just technical proficiency, such as self-awareness of their technical and tactical strengths in relation to the situation of the game; self-regulatory behaviours to problem solve performance challenges in-game; and psychological strategies such as between-ball routines to manage cognitions and emotions. The conceptual model of batting expertise described in this paper is designed to introduce an order to how these various skills, possessed by an expert batter, interact within the performance environment to interpret expert performance.
传统上，在体育任务中，专业知识被认为是近乎完美的技术能力的获得。虽然当代的观点本质上更加全面，但在某些体育领域，仍然不清楚什么是真正的专业知识。本研究旨在进一步了解板球击球的关键和决定性特征；这是一项复杂而困难的感知运动技能，容错率低，时间限制严格。为了确定板球击球专业知识的特征，对 8 名精英板球击球教练进行了采访，这些教练本身就是前国际或州级的击球手。由此，在与他们的表现环境中的专家相关的情况下，开发了一个概念模型。该模型突出了专家除了技术熟练程度之外所拥有的几个关键因素，例如对自己在比赛情况下的技术和战术优势的自我意识；自我调节行为以解决比赛中的表现挑战；以及心理策略，如击球之间的例行程序，以管理认知和情绪。本文描述的击球专业知识的概念模型旨在引入一种秩序，即专家击球手所拥有的各种技能如何在表现环境中相互作用，以解释专家的表现。
