Re: right time to attack I usually give myself the frame of mind to last ten balls first when i get in. Then as you get more and more set, you start to see the ball better and things tend to click. Attacking from the off isnt something id consider unless i was feeling very confident. Remember...

Re: Batting Help Sunday went rather well as well. I think you know your side has had a good day with the bat when the skipper is in at Number 4 and you arent needed when you were chasing 112.

Re: How to score off yorkers ? I had me two absolute stunning yorkers today. Somehow i managed to get bat on both of them, and both went down to fine leg for four runs. I guess at times the best way to play a good yorker is to just get some bat on it and hope for the best. At times you just...

Re: Batting Help Well just got back from my game today, to say im delighted is an understatement. Asked to go in at number three today. Wasnt fussed and i was prepared to graft in there if needs be as i was the second most experienced player in the side today. Got off to a dreadful start...

Re: Playing across Once you've got your eye in you tend to find you can score runs anywhere. If you are prepared to take calculated risks then they are more likely to pay off when you have become settled at the crease and you are scoring quite freely. Towards the end of an innings i tend to...

Re: Batting Help Only problem is for them they got spanked on Saturday as well. They lost by 200 odd runs Saturday and then most of those kids play Sunday and get a pasting too. It is difficult at times, but you cant do much about it. A few of the kids spent some good time in the middle...

Re: Batting Help I was working with another player who is a Level 1 coach the same as me on Saturday before our game. We were just working on trying to be more positive, because he has had similar problems to me recently. Initially we just did some throw downs and concentrated on hitting the...

Re: Batting Help Yeah, first ball i faced cleared the rope. I was in the net with the bowling machine on Saturday and i was smashing it everywhere. It was a bit fortunate if im being honest, but the ball was up there and i just hit through it. I actually went out and didnt really care that it...

Re: Batting Help Didnt manage to get a bat Saturday, but i managed a good innings on Sunday. We got smashed for 232 off 40 overs and we were never going to chase it down with a young side. Came in at 46/4 against a quick bowler on a hattrick ball. Managed to absolutely nail it right over his...

Batting Methods Ok then, everyone has different methods and a different approach when it comes to batting. What routines do people on here use? The key point for me to help me keep concentrating is i keep talking to myself. Might seem a little strange, but it works for me. As im coming out to...

Re: Batting Help At 17 you've got a good few years ahead of you yet. At our club with our youth policy we get a lot of kids coming through, but the problem then is we lack experienced senior cricket players. Im only 20 years old and yet for the side i play for i am the second most experienced...

Re: My Bowling Video Left arm bowlers should play their own game!

Re: Bowling with confidence Its great being able to swing the ball but you need to be able to control it as well. Ive noticed a few kids who play senior cricket can move the ball, but they cant control it at times and it gets irratic. Also i get the feeling with some of the kids they move the...

Re: Batting Help It all depends on your age as well and when you started playing. At times i dont think people consider that, especially at our club.

Re: Batting Help From last time i remember the opening bowler was decent, but he did bowl the odd bad ball that you could put away. He was also a bit chatty, and after i said a few things back, i remember getting about four bouncers that were all half trackers that sat up and just asked to be...

Re: Bowling with confidence The main thing that young players coming through need to realise is that you dont need a particularly long run up to be able to bowl quickly. I do a lot of coaching with our Under 15's team and the one thing i noticed early on with a few of the kids was they had a...

Re: Batting Help On Sunday when im captain the problem is nearly every time i go out to bat, im always under a massive amount of pressure to mount a recovery and bat well. Obviously you cant do well all of the time, and i guess it doesnt really help when you're in a bit of a rut, but thats the...

Bowling with confidence I personally feel that the biggest part of my game is confidence. At the moment as a bowler ive got complete 100% that before any game im going to bowl economically, and take wickets at the same time. On a Sunday i captain one of our sides, and i always open the bowling...

Re: Batting Help Yesterday when i played i did feel a lot more positive. I was just mainly trying to focus ball by ball and it did seem to help me a lot more. Ive been practicing on that in the garden this morning for a few hours. Just basically keep taking my stance and just try and play a...

Batting Help At the moment im struggling for a bit of form and i havent got a score now in my last six innings. From the start of the season to around about the second week in June i was getting consistent scores of between 15-35 and batting for long periods of time and holding the innings...
