when batting just lift your bat before he bowls, then just try and judge where the balls going to go and hit....itsa what i do generally though, and my batting average this season is 2.75  if you bowl...don't worry about speed so much, just pitch it in the right place and they won't be able to do to much damage. |

Just get down the pitch and hit it off with your pads and then you can never be given out. Say you have a side strain and can't bowl. In a game the other week I said I had pulled a muscle and couldn't bowl well cos all our bowlers were getting slaughtered and I ended up with figures 10-0-5-38 |

What's happening to me?? the same thing that's happening to me! I'd rather watch an England test match than the FA Cup final. |

My average must be about 4 this year.
Technically Dave, your average doesn't count because you have only been out once, but we'll let you off!

i should join a team really. i see myself as a bit of an all rounder although my batting is a bit dodgy at times. the tip to good batting is to play down the ground early on and dont play shots outside off stump unless the footwork is right (which is never the case with me)
