when i first bowled in a match it felt really weird, it still does sometimes. it feels like your bowling is really exposed, i cant describe it in words. you just have to practice in the middle until you get accustomed to it, and then you can move between net practice and match practice more easily. it took me a couple of matches before i felt comfortable in the middle (e.g. wasnt totally nervous with every delivery). nerves are probably responsible for your current issues. just relax. hopefully youve got an easy going captain who just encourages you. if not then criticism just makes things worse!
