guys, wanted to thank you all for the advice. finaly got the chance to put into practice walking into bat on a very green deck @ 20-2 on saturday. fortunatley the oppo didnt have a square or fine leg, just a man under the helmet. i opted for the soft hands approach and worked a treat, even hooking their overseas into the pavilion for 6!......with my eyes closed
thats nice to hear, its good they didn't have a fine leg or square leg it let you free up your mind and gain confidence in playing in that area! did the video i gave you help?, I'm not sure if i should put it into practice...
helped in nets before hand as well as using the video camera to identify where my head and hands were going, i was falling towards the offiside a lot and pushing my hands at the ball so was only one place it could go. i think the fact that saturdays bowlers were pushing through a fair bit of heat made me play a bit more conservatively and let it hit the bat rather than pushing at it. lets hope it continues this week thanks again for your help
