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? |

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.

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 |

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

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

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. |

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

I used to love Hooking and pulling until i totally missed one and because of that i ave got a dent on my forehead which clearly shows the seam marks.But i got over that now and now back to my bad habits of pulling anything shot and because of that i get shouted at Club practise for loosing bowls on the roof

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. |

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

Yea, it must've been quite an exciting adventure playing Lee's dangerous 90 mph bouncers.

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'.

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 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! |
