Scared of the ball
Hi, i'll be completle honest here with my batting ability is....Awful. In my defence i can play all the shots when a slow bowler or medium pacer is on and i have a very good eye. My problem i believe is i'm terrified of pace. I didn't know until i was taped that i strt battin on middle nd by the time the ball reaches me my bats out side leg because i've basically run away from the ball. Doing this makes me look crap because im just swinging me bat in thin air but if i didn't move away they would be good shots as i play roughly in the line of the ball, if i was batting on middle, and then because im frustrated with myself i start charging the slower bowlers and trying unusual shots to pace bowlers, getting me out causing more frustration. Do you know any tricks that will stop me legging it to square leg umpire and to keep my head when i do make mistakes.
thanks phil
