Shrikaant of India was once get hurt by a short pitched delivery from Wasim Akram, that ultimately led him towards his retirement from International cricket. How would u like to negotiate such short balls.

Well,what about dancing down the pitch and hitting it before it pitches?Nah,only jokin
the best way to cope with short pitched bowling is to hold your bat at a slite angle.Or,just duck underneth it!

Getting eye off the ball, when it is a short pitched delivery coming right on to you, is another example. So many batsmen get out trying to avoid the ball having there eyes off the ball. Many of them also get hurt .

I think habits are very very difficult to get rid of, especiallly bad habits. one of the bad habits is trying to hit everything on the onside, no matter what is the line, length and height of the ball. Typical onside batsmen never like to play delicate off side shots.

well a bad habbit is to move your head around whike playing your shots as this can take you off balance and not gte as muhc power in your shots. i also recemend to ppl with a really good eye to let the ball come to and not try hit it too hard, this is were a good bat comes in play as youll find the middle more often than not with a well balanced blade with a long sweetspot like bradburies ]]> Sat, 21 Jan 2006 15:37:41 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=414&PID=17278#17278 Bad Habits : Originally posted by davey117When I... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=414&PID=16958#16958 Author: DiscoDuck

Try taking a leg stump guard and make your first movement towards theoff-stump. A small shuffle of the feet to middle/ middle and off whilethe bowler is in delivery stride is all it takes. This will set yormovements in the right direction and will virtually eliminate yourtendancy to back away. Make it a habit and watch the improvements.

Your confidence is the real issue here though. You need to work on thator you will never succeed against the quicks. They can smell fear andlack of confidence a mile away. You just need that one good knock.

 Well I'm an opener, and I like to attack, normally I defend the good balls but I make sure that I put away the bad ones.

I've also never ducked under a bouncer and I always do wear a helmet but not against the spinners.  I love to hook and I can do great leg glances as well!!!

Just keep PRACTICING and you'll be PERFECT!

My idea is perfect practice makes perfect. If u get someone to coachyou, you will improve dramatically. To get used to the fast bowlers,get someone to use a bowling machine against you. This way, you willget used to the speed without the fear of getting hurt, because bowlingmachine ballls are soft. Once you have practiced heaps and you hand-eyeco-ordination is good, there is no need to be afraid of fast bowlers.]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2006 00:59:23 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=414&PID=14882#14882 Bad Habits : You got to do it all watch then... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=414&PID=14873#14873 Author: Big Josh

Wear as much protection as you can. Once you get over it, it wont be so difficult for you.

I agree with you run ups are required but hey some are just too long.But in the you benefit because the bowler will get tired quickly and bowl loose deliveries which you should capitalize on if you still aren't frightened.I say just duck the shot ball each time he bowls it at you and wait for the half volley,it surely will come.
