Just curious RightHandBat, whats your strike rate(i would be surprised if it wasnt something like 200% since you sound like you play at just about everyball!:) ) and whats your batting average in the last few seasons?

Strike Rate is just under 100 and last season batting average was 40.16 with a topscore of 108.

I do like to concentrate on every ball bowled to the other batsman aswell, I picture myself playing to that ball and what shot I would choose to play against it.

I prefer with 2 people on a proper pitch. Sure it means more running but you get a better understanding of what shot does what. and what will get you out.

Sometimes we get the batsman to bat as if they must score every ball. Helps bowlers to bowl better in the later overs and the batsman to add runs at the end.

well, my net batting sessions are pretty short, as we have 16 players in our team, and only 2 nets, and like 2 hours of practice (about third is fielding).

i tend to practice my defense shots, cos i know im weak when the ball nibbles from offstump back and forth. I practice my backward defense, and get people for throwdowns for my forward defense. I don' tend to think about scoring, its just wonderful having the feeling of playing a backward defense in the middle of the bat and watching the ball roll back to the bowler.

I work on cover drives, straight drives, on drives and cutting, the most difficult to play, people who slog and have fun at the nets are stupid.

70_degree_spin, people who slog are not stupid. For some of them its their natural game. For some people they want to relieve stress. Im sure after 1 month of not playing cricket whic has happened to many of you, you just want to go back at get the feel for hitting. My feeling is always wanting to smash.im not complaining about anythin, but if it werent for slogging in the nets where whould big hitters be today?

I just practiced glides, flicks and drop and run shots off faster men, and when they bowled up to me used to throw the kitchen sink at it. Most of them sails over the boundry straight, when they are up to me. Short balls I just try to defend my head being smashed

When spinners are on (horror of horror only three of them in a squad of 40 for the university excluding myself) down the track, inside out over extra cover was my favorite shot. Unfortunately one of them was a Derek Underwood type left arm spinner (6' 3" in height) who was firing it in. Others also did not know how to flight it (i was the only one who threw it up over the eye line of batsmen). SO did not have much opportunities to play it.

Batting in nets was not fun for me, because every fast bowler targeted me to test their bouncers, but never tested their yorkers on me

There's this bowler at my school who just bowls bouncers. Needless to say he hardly takes any wickets.

I went to this club training session to see if i felt like joining them. Every bowler bowled a bouncer. Thats all they did. They only wanted to hit the batsman. Needless to say i thought they were &"("! and left.
