Bad Advice
Yesterday i got out off some bad advice and felt i need to vent.
I play in u14's. It was a 1 day match (25 overs). I came in to bat at 5 and we were not chasing much, only 113. I scoreed a quick 11 in 3 overs. I don't have a very developed cutshot so i let a few balls go on the offside which were all immdeiately followed by sarcasitc remarks from my coach such as "Ha look, he thinks its a 2 day match). I shook them off until he basically started insulting me.
He said "Mate do us all a favor and either tonk it or get out". The whole fielding team laughed and i was so pissed. So i did, i missed 3 balls in a row until 1 finaly hit off stump.
We lost that match by 15 runs. And guess what, we ran out of wickets and not overs.
So my question is, how do i learn a decent cut shot, how can i predict the bounce and is there any reliant way to keep them down
