well you can ask sherrif(the owner), im sure he knows people who coach, he coaches a bit himself, i think only for beginners. If you want a good coach just ask sherif for a couple names, the man he recommended to me was a guy named Eugene, knows alot about the game and helped me alot.

What type of coach are u looking for and whats your age? If you live near qasra, just drop by there anytime

if your in toronto, there are various academies and many coaches available to help you play better, qasra sports is a great place to start. Sherrif can help you find a good coach, and improve your game

I totally agree with what Kerm said, he is right. i used to be dead set against facing pace and only liked spin but if you face pace on the nets, it does help you to get some way accustomised to it. Though i haven't faced a bouncer yet Wink

It might just be nerves, try and stay in for as long as you can, and turn the strike over as frequent as possiable. I had this problem for a while, although I wouldn't back away, I would flail my head to the side and just hold the bat out to try and make contact with the ball, while jumping in the air! I used to do this for any ball that was rising quickly above waist level. Practice against fast bowlers helped me though.]]> Sat, 05 May 2007 11:18:30 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3504&PID=130720#130720 scared of the bowler : get off strike, simple as. if... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3504&PID=130680#130680 Author: TCA123

Look at your technique? Are you getting back and across to the short-ball? If not get an experienced player or a coach to help you out with playing defensively against the quickies.

Oh and read what Kerm wrote, he's spot on.

This will sound silly but get hit by the ball. It hurts, and will stingfor a while but is unlikly to do any serious damage and you wont haveany problems in the future, I used to be pretty worried when someonewith pace came in at me, I wouldnt get my front foot forward and i'dshy away from the ball. I worked on this mentally for a while, workingout that the ball isn't going to do any serious harm despite the fact Ionly wear pads, box and gloves.

The other day I was rewarded for this while practicing, one of the pacelads, a fast one at that asked if he could just bowl flat out at me fora while and it was really fun, hit some amazing shots, I did get hit afew times, it stung, I got over it.

If your really worried then pad up, get a thigh guard, an arm guard, achest guard and a helmet on. Should improve your playing against fasterbowlers and you will realise that if your positive then you use yourbat to hit the ball and its fairly rare that you get hit yourself.

Anyway good luck with it and let us know how you get along.

Stand your ground and smack him for four or knock a single to get off strike.
Fast bowlers can be like lions. If they see fear in you they'll start trying to instil that fear with some bouncers. Then you're easy pickings for a yorker.
 
Best advice: Practice with a fast bowler in the nets.
 
Good Luck on sorting it out.
