How are you getting out? Taking a big slog and missing? Or is your forward defensive lacking? Where do you bat, is there a coach in the team or would one of the better batsmen who would take a look at you and tell you what you're doing wrong? ------------- I swing both ways - but only when I'm bowling! |

When I was getting out unnessesaraly I got some tips from a team mate. Turned out I wasnt moving my foot towards the ball enough. After that I started improving. ------------- Zapp |

| in well over 100 matches ive never got a duck and you know how? The first ball I face I tap and RUN!! Who cares if your partners run out, just run for your life. |

I bet you're not.
And it's a perfect example of why I don't particularly like batting with the tail.
You lot are more often than not suicidal singles runners.

well what i tent to do is take my eye off the ball at the last second and then take a massive swing at the balls they are usally dead on my middle stump. i bat low down in the order. i think that i could become a good batter if i just had the confindence ------------- Let's Get Down To Business |

You really don't understand cricket at all, do you? ------------- 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. |

Please dont try and start arguments, thats not why I'm here. I'm here to make friends and talk about cricket. Also, I was clearly exaggerating when I said tap and run, I oviously aim for a gap in the field and then run. I'm your typical "stay there and let the guy at the other end do his thing" type of batsman. And I have never made a duck. I dont know how I managed it but its completely true I have never made a duck. Jones completed many innings for England without any ducks until that pair match and he batted at 7. I sware this is true, it's hardly boast material anyway. I have only averaged 18 in my whole career. |

LOL umm i think you need some serious 1 to 1 coaching.
Getting ducks is often a mental thing but judging by what you said you need to learn the basics of batting.

Imagine, the guy posted his problems which meant he knew why he was getting the ducks and didn't even bother until probably now to fix it. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |
