Interesting take on the outside stresses. I flip it around, regardless of family, work or whatever the cricket pitch for me is the place where for six hours on the Saturday where you can escape these things. If you're batting or fielding you're concentrating every ball, on the sideline you're bantering with the teammates. Then when it's done go back to the responsibilities and wait another week until the sanctuary of the pitch.

[@utha2665]

That works in theory, but some of life's challenges can't be forgotten so easily. I do agree though, when batting, or even facing one ball at a time, all the concentration needs to be on that moment.

[@canyoucricket]

Thanks for the comments. For me it's not so much that I'm consciously thinking of the "stresses", it's more that my mind and body still feel the tension from the "stresses" which affects my batting. I guess it's also different for different people. Shane Warne comes to mind...

Just a suggestion, try striking to long on or towards midwicket to rotate the strike and get off the pressure...way too much on off side

Gareth seems like a nice guy and a good teammate but he needs some more release shots especially on the leg side, I have noticed that almost everything on leg is a LB.

Cricket is a great way to deal with life's stresses. I find when I'm out on the crease my head is totally empty of anything other than the ball and where I'm going to hit it. You were doing the right thing, lots of good balls that you shouldn't have played at, and got unlucky that the bad balls were going to fielders. Another day and you've hit 50 playing exactly the same style of cricket.

Hey Gareth - sorry about the slightly patchy form; have you ever considered taking a middle-and-leg or even leg stump guard? I think it would open you up more and you might find that you don't miss out on as many scoring opportunities. Maybe worth a shot. (Speaking from experience).

[@canyoucricket]

Thanks Dave. Possibly, but in this case I think it's more mental than anything. I've scored plenty runs batting on middle. Hopefully can get back in the runs soon 💪

[@EKUNDURSHREYASREDDY]

sir if you dont mind I could give you a suggestion. As you are no able to score runs focus on doing knocking by having someone do throwdowns with their hand it would really boost your confidence. I do knocking when ever I don't score runs it helps me a lot. Hoping to see you score runs again.

[@beachhuntersouthafrica]

Hey Gareth... the line and length they were bowling at you were pretty tight... I notice your go to movement always seems to be down the pitch ... perhaps practice your backing away or moving across the stumps depending on where your strengths lie... will make the bowlers not know where to bowl at you and make them err in line and length... thanks for the vid!

[@chrisdewgong]

Bad luck in your innings, I think you're right about the mind being an important part of the process, but the fact you're identifying it is as something to work on is a good sign. One of the guys you were facing (the leg-spinner who suffered the wacky over-throw) is a really good bowler for this level and did well for Corsham in the top division in WEPL. He didn't wear those shades back then though... I'd say good luck for tomorrow but my Corsham loyalty won't let me, either way hopefully I'll see you there!

[@canyoucricket]

[@longjohn5322]

Just stick with the basic approach of attacking half volleys and half trackers and defend and deflect the rest. Not many have the ability to do much more than that, particularly at club level. The only other advice I would offer for consideration would be to forget about commentating for the viewers whilst you’re at the crease. This can only hinder your ability to lock into the focus and concentration needed. Other than your communication with your batting partner, nothing else is required whilst you’re on the ground.

Hey Gareth, in a situation like this, I'd try to simplify batting us much as possible. Since you have the technique and everything.
