I don't know if anyone said this yet but.... if you can hit the ball on the full, do so.

Yeah, I go back and hit the ball at the last moment, but this means I can't get any power with the bat and there's 10 blokes all crowded around me waiting for a mistake or waiting me to get so frustrated at scoring one an over (If I'm lucky) I start swinging at it and then the inevitable happens. Any solutions for a number 11 batsman?

Open the batting so you don't have to face spin

Sorry that's possibly not the most helpful advice. I would say that there's no reason why the ball can't be hit firmly with a crisp fast shot, so it's got to be a technique issue. You don't have to make a huge heave to score singles, or even twos, and a well-timed wristy pull or cut might make it over the rope.

Yeah this is a tactic that I do use and it does bear fruits for me personally PB's and what have you, but they take God knows how many overs and I look like test cricketer going for 1 an over! No good in a 50 overs match!Open the batting so you don't have to face spin

That's a bit of trek for me, so I'll give it a miss, thanks for the offer though.
