Watching the ball
This season I am having a problem where I am missing full tosses as I dont see them untill the last minute, been bowled twice, hit in the chest once (and bowled next ball ) and have not put bat on ball to any full toss all season
Against spinners I have no problems, their not quick enough to be a problem, but the quicker bowlers I always had an issue of lifting my head too early, so to combat that I think I am trying to keep the head down more and more focused and therefore whilst watching the ball more closely I think I am watching the bowler and the pitch so miss anything that comes out above the bowlers head and dont see it till the last second
I have slow reaction times so have trouble watching balls out of the hand and my way has worked quite well to non full tosses but I dont know what to do, dont know if batting more off stump so the stumps are more covered and when I do see it a straighter bat can be used on it or what
Other problem is full on leg stump, but have been working on my driving which will hopefully fix that as I get to it in front of me rather than letting it come to me and feeling for a flick as I have been will help that
