When you win the toss - bat.
If you are in doubt, think about it - then bat. If you have very big doubts, consult a colleague - then bat. |

Well yes, knowledge comes by learning but in cricket you gain a lot by age.

Pretty much, I often get flack for using "old fashioned words" based on
the fact I am fairly literate however in Hertfordshire thats anything
with more than 2 syllables.

Here's a tip, if a ball is gonna outswing, it usually moves away in the air first then off the pitch; same for inswingers! It's a different story though when the ball is seaming around; simply no way of reading it before it pitches.
With my above tip on the swinging balls, you should now have an idea of how to play it.

Commit to the ball later..? Open your stance up a bit?

Well, if the bowler bowls there all day long, the score at the end of the day might look like. 20/0 from 90 overs.

move a bit cross. getting to the pitch of the ball is important which in result , the ball will not do much movement because you are close to the pitch. if it's a bit short and has good enough width, punch it off the backfoot

He surely would be an idiot! Anyways, if the batsmen are getting contained, it's more than likely they are gonna do something reckless.

how do u guys play really fast bowlers first of all
as i mentioned in one of my posts in 'becoming a pro' that i can't even see the ball properly is it because these bowlers i faced were older than me? I'm almost 15 and say these guys were around 17-18 |

Cant say i've ever been literally beaten for pace and bowlers that bowl really quickly tend to spray it a bit and then you can hit the bad balls, if you literally cant see the ball properly because of speed then i'd get either your eyes or your reflexes tested.

Faced 80 MPH on the bowling machine last night and was creaming the ball 3/6. Not bad considering my age. Althbough, it's all about getting your eye in. Have a low backlift maybe..? I don't know.

take a generous step back and always keep your eyes on the ball and get everything behind it. If you have soft hands, then play with a slight angle. the pace of the ball will do enough for a quick single and as Sledge said, play from the other end.

Ian Chappel used to say that when he just got in he would try and hit everything with his inside edge. Bradman did a similar thing but actually hit slightly towards mid on instead of straight. This would stop outside knicks.

Right lads, i need/want your help. When i'm batting i have a tendency to fall over - thus meaning that some shots are dictated by my head position rather than where the ball is bowled. Any tips, advice, drills you know of to 'cure' this problem?

i dont kno any drill sorry but when i bat i dont fall over, i get the feeling that im leaning forwards and not to one side. when you bat stand up tall dont crouch over too much.
