Oh by the way guys, I reverse swept a fast bowler on a hattrick from 2ft outside my crease today.

By the way, this was not a serious game, I'd never try it in a real game.

Or you could just be lucky enough to come in at the non strikers end.

Or as one of my parteners once came in, he was facing a daemon bowler on a hattrick, you should've seen the look on his face, priceless.

every one has their own experience and ways to handle nerves, thing that does best for me is to scramble for a single as early as possible, becos you can have a great measure of field from nonstriking end, see the condition of the pitch , field positions, the other batsmen handling the bowling, so I usually get my first single on the first or the second ball and running for a single relaxes a lot of nerves for me. Infact even if i score a boundry that doesnt clear off many things, its the first single or double which takes off all the pressure.]]> Fri, 14 Jul 2006 07:06:21 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2013&PID=67052#67052 Nerves : Originally posted by The CCCStrange... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2013&PID=66962#66962 Author: slogger72N/O

Try and relax, crack a joke or two (eg: see you in half a minute guys!), have a quick word with the batsman out and the remaining batsman, give a good healthy smile to the umpire and the wicket keeper, take a deep breath, and if you've still got nerves, you're one hell of a nervous guy.

 

Ah the old see you in half a minute guys one, last time I tried that I got a second ball duck, so I predicted right.

I get nervous going out to bat, if i'm ok for the first ball it all just goes for me. I'm 14 and i bat 11 for a mens team (Opening bowler) And to be honest i feel more nervous at number 11, knowing if i lose my wicket we lose. So in my opinion, batting lower down is more nerve-racking.]]> Thu, 13 Jul 2006 18:47:26 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2013&PID=66955#66955 Nerves : Originally posted by RightHandBatYou're... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2013&PID=66932#66932 Author: TCA123

sadly thats exactly what i did for my golden duck  Laughed about how i was moulding well to my tail-end role (i bat 3 for my age group) and got clean bowled. I was out of my pads faster then the guy who got out before me. Walked into the changing rooms and he was like "what the hell? TCA your in next!"

I shook off my nerves last innings with a 4 first ball, then a single. But then tried to score of my legs to a ball i should have pushed for 1 and got bowled. I felt good and then it all went wrong. I do get nerves even at the crease. But ive only ever been there long enough once to shake the all off.

You have to have hunger. It starts with self-confidence and you slowly build that up during the off-season and by the time your first net-session is on during the cricket season, you'll have a bagfull of confidence. Keep that confidence high and you will go into your first match well. ]]> Mon, 03 Jul 2006 08:30:13 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2013&PID=64466#64466 Nerves : Originally posted by the_dwee everyone... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2013&PID=64433#64433 Author: slogger72N/O

I feel under pressure because i'm an unproven batsmen who is expected to bat well. Especially when playing for my age group. I am a senior member of the team and have a good cricket brain despite my inexperience in matches. Playing for the mens team is much easier because theres no pressure, I'm a 15 year old facing far more experienced bowlers and if i get out then it was only expected.]]> Sun, 02 Jul 2006 20:35:16 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2013&PID=64354#64354 Nerves : everyone needs to take responsibility... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2013&PID=64265#64265 Author: the_dwee

Everyone gets nervous when they go out to bat surely? Even if you are be sure to try and show confident body language as you walk out - take purposeful strides, head up, shoulders back. Once you take guard step back and have a look around the field (remember, always look at the gaps, not the fielders!) then when you are ready you can face the first ball, so you are controlling the pace already. Also you may find that really positive calling helps you settle down - a good firm NO or YES as appropriate will burn off that nervous energy, and again also gives an air of confidence that your opponents will notice.

Evereyone gets the old nerves when going out to bat, I don't think I would play the game if I didn't. I find that as soon as I hit the first ball in the middle of the bat the nerves go. My main fear is getting a first baller, but touch wood not had one of those for a while.

What has helped me a lot is visualizing the whole process of padding up and walking out to bat, taking guard and getting ready to face the first ball.  I try & do this the night before, and the more detailed you can make your visualization the more comfortable you will feel.  Also a few deep breaths walking out to bat helps getting the nerves calm.]]> Tue, 27 Jun 2006 22:42:31 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2013&PID=63497#63497
