What do you mean, it will never happen?
Anyone pacer might bowl a bouncer at you so you've got to know what to do. |

Shrikaant of India was once get hurt by a short pitched delivery from Wasim Akram, that ultimately led him towards his retirement from International cricket. How would u like to negotiate such short balls. |

Well,what about dancing down the pitch and hitting it before it pitches?Nah,only jokin
the best way to cope with short pitched bowling is to hold your bat at a slite angle.Or,just duck underneth it! |

Getting eye off the ball, when it is a short pitched delivery coming right on to you, is another example. So many batsmen get out trying to avoid the ball having there eyes off the ball. Many of them also get hurt

I think habits are very very difficult to get rid of, especiallly bad habits. one of the bad habits is trying to hit everything on the onside, no matter what is the line, length and height of the ball. Typical onside batsmen never like to play delicate off side shots. |

well a bad habbit is to move your head around whike playing your shots as this can take you off balance and not gte as muhc power in your shots. i also recemend to ppl with a really good eye to let the ball come to and not try hit it too hard, this is were a good bat comes in play as youll find the middle more often than not with a well balanced blade with a long sweetspot like bradburies

Try taking a leg stump guard and make your first movement towards the off-stump. A small shuffle of the feet to middle/ middle and off while the bowler is in delivery stride is all it takes. This will set yor movements in the right direction and will virtually eliminate your tendancy to back away. Make it a habit and watch the improvements. Your confidence is the real issue here though. You need to work on that or you will never succeed against the quicks. They can smell fear and lack of confidence a mile away. You just need that one good knock. |

Well I'm an opener, and I like to attack, normally I defend the good balls but I make sure that I put away the bad ones.
I've also never ducked under a bouncer and I always do wear a helmet but not against the spinners. I love to hook and I can do great leg glances as well!!! Just keep PRACTICING and you'll be PERFECT! |

My idea is perfect practice makes perfect. If u get someone to coach
you, you will improve dramatically. To get used to the fast bowlers,
get someone to use a bowling machine against you. This way, you will
get used to the speed without the fear of getting hurt, because bowling
machine ballls are soft. Once you have practiced heaps and you hand-eye
co-ordination is good, there is no need to be afraid of fast bowlers.

My two favourite Batsmen:
Jacques Kallis is a very solid but destructive batsmen and not to mention he can bowl as well. I also like Michael Clarke for his amazing batting talent at such a young age |

Well, you can't just learn by watching...you also need to practice...'practice makes perfect'...or my variation of it, 'practice makes near perfect'.

Easy way to avoid short balls and bouncers is to duck under them. |

Well i would suggest you to just stop hitting big shots to fast bowlers. Becoz most of them intend to give a bouncer after they are hit for a boundry. Or just build enough confidence to face the short balls or bouncers. Closely lood at the ball rather than qvoiding it. Keep you head straight, and think that if u let the your eyes off the ball, it woud hit you hard, so before it does so, you just hit is hard wih your bat. Wear as much protection as you can. Once you get over it, it wont be so difficult for you. |

I agree with you run ups are required but hey some are just too long.But in the you benefit because the bowler will get tired quickly and bowl loose deliveries which you should capitalize on if you still aren't frightened
