Just think in your head " Who does this this joker think he is, with such a long run up, I'll give him the treatment " Build up some self confidence, and I bet, most bowlers dont even need that long run up, its pure intimidation technique. |

Some great cricketing quotes:
"It's tough for a natural hooker to give it up." - Ian Chappell "On the outfield, hundreds of small boys are playing with their balls." - Rex Alston, BBC |

Yup, there is no need to get nervous or intimidated by a bowlers lengthy run-up.

Regulation without integration leads to suicide.

I am good at playing the leg glance, just naturally and I am good with bouncers as well.

I am an opener, kinda like to attack, now working on defending the good balls and putting away the bad ones. I've never ducked a bouncer. I do wear a helmet. I love bouncers as hooking is my strength. I've found the gap even with fielders packed on the leg side boundary. I am very weak playing the leg glance. |

I try and hook them when I'm feeling confident or I'm set at the crease.

Yes i do go out with a thigh pad. I suppose i am trying to get out of the way of the ball. Tennis ball theory doesn't work, I got somebody to do that with a normal hard, red ball. It is the run up of a bowler more than anything but also i hve took a few blows to the chest arm and thigh when it misses the thigh pad |

Do you go out with a thigh pad? Do you run away from the ball? Maybe ask your mate to throw some fast tennis balls at you and try blocking.

When I bat, technically I am told I am quite good. I also know all the shots. Once i get in the middle i get nervous and against quick bowlers with lengthy run ups my first movement is always towards square leg. Can any1 help? |
