Guys i'm having a mare! been out 3 times in a row caught at square leg playing of my toes or my hip. Im not trying to smash it merely run it down to fine leg for 1 or 2. im a leftie btw. not got an issue anywhere else on the legside, just when im trying to run it down.
Tried throwdowns in the nets and they went well but reverted straight back when i got out into the middle.
Any tips or drills you can advise as im getting nowhere
cheers |

| Pitches maybe too soft at this time of year in your area so best just play soft hands , drop the ball and take a safe and easy single. |

| there have been some soft tracks but ours is a hard track and coming through nicely. im toying with the idea of just trying to smash it, that way im not just looping it up. |

| If your track is hard and you are being caught at normal square leg then yes go large and clear him and pick up 4 runs all day. |

| i cany understand where this problem has come from, first few weeks of the season i was hitting it where i wanted of my hip and feet now all i can do is hit it shin high at square leg. would be better if i was missing it and at least we'd get a leg bye |

| You may be falling over to the off side a little as that will change the angle of the bat and pop it up |

maybe, ive managed to nab a video camera from work so i'm going to do some analysis with the bowling machine to see what im doing wrong.
its annoying as i feel in great form apart from that |

| If you are hitting the ball in the air I would suggest you might be going through the short too early, putting too much bottom hand in or falling away to off and playing round your pad - Difficult to analyse without seeing though. |

| Have you tried rolling your wrists when you play the shot? |

| didnt get the chance to try any suggestions as was triggered by the oppos umpire for 0! seriously dubious looking at the bruise on my hip, no LBW's given when we bowled but gave all 3 appeals in our innings |

| was blatant cheating, we were well in control chasing 250 on 150 for 2 then their umpire got involved and they won easily |
