Hello Tony! I played a game on last Saturday. I got a chance to bat. And it was very different this time. For some reason, I was able to keep my head absolutely clear. I was not thinking about anything when I was in the middle. I was not doing any 'negative predictions' and was surprisingly...

Hi Liz, Thanks for your concern again. I was not flat footed since childhood, but have achieved it over the years somehow. I am not sure how to tell you how much of arch I have, but it is very little for sure. The physio and doctor told me that this happens also because the way I walk and run. I...

Thanks Liz for your concern and help. It is with my right hand. In 2008 while playing in a game I was fielding at long on and had to throw many balls for a few overs from boundary. One particular throw I felt a thrust and as if I have thrown my hand off my shoulder and my hand went numb. I could...

Hello all! I have the problem of 'pinched nerve' and thus, feel very acute stinging pain in my arm if I throw the cricket ball from deep sometimes and that makes the hand week. I can use the hand again in half an hour again, but then for that day at least, I cannot throw or bowl. Apart from that...

Hello! Sorry for jumping into the discussion. But I also have the problems with pain in my lower legs. In general, it gets worse after fielding for 20-25 overs or equal running and even fast walking. I was told that reason behind this was my weak muscles in front lower legs and my walking and...

Thanks TonyM for your suggestions. I might not be able to have practice in open or make bowlers bowl entire overs to me in the nets given the population of players at our club. But I have realised, I need to work more on visualization and imagination for sure. I observed myself in the game last...

@somebloakcalleddave: Thanks for listing the basics. I am definitely going to work on this list and I'm sure I will see improvement. @spiderlounge: Yes, that is true. I may not be able to really dedicate so much of time to that every week, but I will try my best not to miss a single opportunity...

Thanks Big Kev & Macca for your suggestions. I am not sure if I will be able to film myself bowling, but I can certainly request one of the mates to find out the difference in what I am doing when I bowl good and bad balls.

Hi guys! When I play in the practice nets, I find myself hitting a few good shots, cutting, driving and defending reasonably well even to very fast bowlers. But when I get on to the field to bat in actual game, somehow I tend to freeze. I suddenly find myself struggling to make a contact with...

Hello! I bowl off spin in club Cricket. I do not get to bowl too often and cannot maintain consistancy in my bowling. In a given over, I end up bowling 2-3 really good balls, 1-2 okay balls and then 2-3 balls where it appears as if I had absolutely no control over the ball. When I bowl these bad...
