Re: left arm bowlers
Practice with more confidence.
Techincal part can be taken care if u approach with more confidence.
Treat the left armer like any fast bowler where u observe the seam position and watch the ball carefully for playing ur shots.
Practice will overcome ur concern.

Re: left arm bowlers
Agreed Trumper.
I had porblems facing left armer's and had to make adjustments like a open stance.
It did helped by having two left arm fast bowlers in the team for net practice as that helped a lot.
One guy was very fast and the other one was swing bowler so a variety in both the left arm fast bowlers.
If we have left arm fast bowlers in the team it is good as it is diffcult for majorty of time's to get right arm fast bowlers to bowl around the stump for our practice.

Re: left arm bowlers
If you really have no idea what to do then just propping forward and covering your stumps, making sure you grip the bat with soft hands, would probably do. He can't get you lbw unless he really swings it as well as getting it on the spot while the soft hands should eliminate slip catches to some extent. It's not something I'd recommend but if you have no other method this would fill the gap while you try and find a more conventional one.

Re: left arm bowlers
If u are getting out then it becomes phsycological thing and u will get uneasy facing him.
But u have to build enough confidence within yourself to face him otherwise u will have problems facing left arm fast in matches as well.
Techincally ur batting needs to be seen when facing the left arm fast.
Can u post a video?

Re: left arm bowlers
open stance just a tad, if you can bat a bit out of your crease to take out the LBW, watch it from the hand, what ive noticed is that alot of left armers can bowl the in swinger, and also the one that leaves the pitch and moves away so watch the seam position and what hes doin with his wrist

Re: left arm bowlers
Open your stance up a little , point your left foot towards mid wicket this will open you up without it being too drastic . You still want to be side on as much as possible .
If this guys gets you out often or troubles you do you study him before your bat or even when you are at the crease ?
Every Bowler has mannerisms that can give away what his going to bowl . Look at if his run changes , grip , wrist or seam position . These can all give you a clue as to what might be coming before he releases the ball .
Its a pretty safe bet that he will be more open chested when pushing the ball across you and more side on when he swings it back in . Have a close look and you may get a good clue or two
