| oh dear... sorry to hear that mate. mind you, i once had to save my brother from going into bat at 11 against some seriously quick bowlers, and i got 1* off about 40, and that one run was an edge! |

All about being positive before you get to the wicket. You go in at six so, in all likelihood, will need to go at a run a ball. If you recognise that you're half way there. Try and rotate straight away, without resorting to trying to smash it - hit the gaps, dab, whatever - and as your timing comes in you'll start hitting through the gaps.
Saying that, I've done the same many times before so don't worry about it. |

| Just keep working on your technique, in the nets, and your attitude. As Fazman says keep positive and the runs, and more importantly confidence will come. |

| Ammo , I got about 4 off 16 overs in a 20 over game when i was 13, did me no harm whatsoever. Its all about building an innings and learning about the game. I was captain and we lost 6 quick wickets, so felt i had to steady the ship !! Didnt feel good at the time, but i was congratulated by the people who were in the know ;-) |

| having lost 6 quick wickets, i think that wasn't nearly as bad an innigs as it may sound. For me, it's just about adapting to the circumstances. PLaying two matches in two days the one game i scored 18 off 64 balls and the next 88 off 50. It's just knowing the situation and knowing what your role is in that particular situation, so your knock doesn't sound that bad. |

just found out that we are playing against a pretty bad team on the weekend any tips of how i can score runs at a faster rate.
p.s. the field we are playing at is very big and has a slow outfield.Might target fielders on the boundary and get 2's and 1's, but any other tips are welcome.
Thanks for your help so far. |

| Dont worry about run rates mate! batting is all about instincts! stay focused and concentrate on the the ball, play it on its merit and the runs will come buddy!!! also try not to worry about previous innings and lookforward to your next innings always!!! |

| if your playing on a big boundary and coming in at 6 you should have a while to look at the fielders and know which ones you can take twos to, if your not a massive hitter then nurdle. It's about knowing your limits and knowing what type of batsman you are and playing within that so you cnan fulfil the role that your in the team for |

couldnt agree more. It will be very useful if coaches start stressing on the same point as quoted by damo here. |

| Saying that my slowest ever is 18 off 65. Lol. ( I usually bat in the middle order 4, 5, 6) but that day we were all out for 56 in a 50 over game. But my average strike rate is in the late 70s and my batting average in rep is 35 and club 53. |
