Under Pressure Batting?
Right, this is a thread which has many possibilities, feel free to ask questions and give scenarios and ill do my best to help out.
Ill start off with the old, "I'm batting and we have 5 overs to go," If you have an up tight coach like mine, who goes out onto the pitch checks it out more than the captain and comes back to give us a good going over, like he doesn't trust us.
My coach comes back to us and gives us a score if we're batting first.
So, the purpose of this thread, its 195 off 45overs, you need 220, what do you do?
Well aggressive, controlled batting is the answer but ill break it down.
Firstly, your stance, legs a little closer together, gives you a firmer base in which you can hit the ball harder, not ideal for movement but the fitness of the bowlers will be low and they wont be giving 100% anymore so you'll probably get away with it.
Secondly, Your grip of the bat, if your technically sound, IE, have a good grip, hands together etc. then this is for you. Hold them a little apart, it gives you a bit more of an angle to work with, it isn't the most effective, and wont be the most attractive but you'll hit areas which you couldn't easily manoeuvre the ball into different areas.
Thirdly, bat outside your crease, the earlier you hit the ball after bounce the quicker it'll be travelling therefore you'll be hitting boundaries easier because of increased pace.
Obviously this is aimed at the batsmen, ill give a bowlers guide to batting tomorrow, feel free as i said to give me situations and ill try my best to give a good definitive way how to get out of trouble, or bat your way to 20.
