I open so I dont really have to wait around to have a bat when its our innings.. but

1 - get changed
2 - keep everyone waiting whilst I finish my ciggie before meandering out to the middle.

to be honest i get very worried when going out to bat, aspecially when iam opening and i usually take first strike, usually i get worried becuase sometimes a bowler who is really tall and looks strong, i know he will be bwoling bouncers at me straight a way with pace, so when i am walking up i tend 2 talk to my partner about the way we should set out and when batting i tap the crease and look up at the bowler just when he is about to bowl, i dont look at his run up,


i tend to talk to my self aswell :)

I sort of have a pre batting ritual i.e while im waiting for the wicket to fall, then another one when the wicket has fallen and im on my way out to bat.
 Pre batting:
1. get my kit on except for by box and helmet.
2. Get a few metres away from the team and do a few short (5 metre odd) sprints and turn etc as if taking a single to warm me up a little.
3. put box on and sit down again
Once wicket has fallen:
1. Put helmet on
2. few running steps
3. walk the rest of the way while swinging my arms/bat around a bit.

I pad up and put an every other gear I will be wearing in the pavillion except the gloves. They stay off until the man gets out. When he gets out, I immediately get up and go. As I enter on the field, or sometimes nearly half way (mainly to switch gloves with the dismissed batter) I start putting them on with bat tucked under arm. When I'm finish, the bat handle is held in right hand and the bottom in the other hand until I reach the pitch. I take guard and watch the field placing and face the first ball.]]> Fri, 03 Aug 2007 23:32:15 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=148679#148679 Pre-Batting Ritual : Where i live, I just walk on the... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3445&PID=148673#148673 Author: BackFoot Master

Where i live, I just walk on the field, take my guard and bat. No fancy movement and i never ever did any pre- batting ritual that any international batsman does.
 
I just stay calm and move with the flow.

1. Don the baggy black
2. Put on batting inners
3. Glance at middle while putting on gloves
4. Pick up bat and stroll out
5. Take guard, two legs
6. Step back, check the field
7. Adjust pads, box, crouch and get ready to face


To the guy who stands outside off, I used to do the opposite. Would take a middle-and-leg guard, then stand about 8 inches off it to the leg side. Umpire would say "you arent on your guard" i said "i know", and i'd move across as the bowler delivered. Helped me get my feet going early on.

Take guard and then proceed to wear in the new ball by smacking it into oblivion a good few times, which also serves for demoralising the bowlers.

Slowly walk out to bat, dragging bay on the ground, look to the sky and try and adjust to the light.
 
Walk up to partner have a quick chat , take guard leg, wait for appluse from opposition to stop ( They clap the Captains when they come out to bat ) Have a look around again , settle into batting stance chewing gum like there is no tomorrow

7. take guard (outside leg)
 
8. just as bowler comes into bowl accidently *hint, hint* shout "wait!!!!!"
 
9. therefore bowler is annoyed and tries too hard
 
10. goes wide because of above
 
11. cart for 4 past backward point
 
12. get out next ball
 
13. get a rollocking from my coach because 'I'm the last batsman i should stay in...blah,blah,blah...'
