Love watching your videos on a Saturday morning before cricket. I managed to hit my first competitive 50 last week, and I think your videos really help in getting used to seeing the ball out the bowlers hand. This is probably my last season of village cricket before heading off to London town, and it isn't the same playing on a municipal city pitch. So really happy to get my 50 before then. Will keep watching your channel and wish you all the best.

[@alijeal]

My guy spent his offseason in India doing a sweeping masterclass but we haven't seen it come out. Trust your practise! You'll come good.

[@chrisdewgong]

Great to see their captain Toby Davies again, one of the few people to compliment my singing on the way back from a game in Bridgwater. The fact I can remember the exact moment should explain how rare it is. Looks like he has become an even more formidable batsman, and even his off-spin has improved! Unlucky way to get out, 99 times out of 100 that's probably just going straight into the ground instead of popping up in the air.

[@canyoucricket]

Love this comment! 😁 Yes a bit unlucky, but one innings closer to a big score 💪

[@pradyraj4928]

​@canyoucricket its not unlucky champ You must improve a lot on your legside game and rotate the strike Play with intent rather than save your wicket

[@jasonhooley323]

Does saying 'watch the ball' work. Lol

[@Jaaskelainen1993]

Watching the games this last few weeks reminds me what a tough game it can be when you're not in form and operating freely. I know im pointing out the obvious here but most of us amateurs overlook this. Next match from ball look to get on the front foot, be positive, hit the ball like you hate it. It looks like you're trying to contain the bowlers instead of dominate them. I have a feeling a big score is round the corner.

[@connorbailey5473]

Just done some digging. This games from June 15th. It hasn’t improved much for Gareth yet, needs some time in the 2’s get the confidence and form back

@@doyadirty3804 exactly. He says he is going through bad patch. Agree, happens to all. But what are you doing about it ? Just dotting up every match and hoping he gets freebies. At this level, if you can't take on the bowlers, it's not gonna get any easier. Shuffle around, sweep a bit, use the crease. Ffs, slog man if you can't do any of the above

[@doyadirty3804]

@@mahendrach3313maybe he needs to go down to the second XI n gain some more confidence. Because im sure gopro’n every game isnt the best for focus either

[@videomeme3126]

I think that behind the flashy Go-Pro helmet, production values, etc, the reality is he is just an average cricketer, quite fortunate to have the amount of subscribers he has, and took a total punt in leaving his full time job to pursuit this as a career. His on-side play is, quite frankly, pretty bad. So many opportunities (not just this game) to flick it on the on-side for a quick single, to at least rotate the strike. Don't get me wrong, not saying he is a bad player, just average at best. Imo the Go-Pro helmet does not help, and increases the pressure, so he thinks twitce about playing his natural game. For one game, maybe he should ditch the Go-Pro completely and perhaps this will help him to play how he would naturally play. But to keep and increase his views and subscribers he will probably continue using the Go-Pro. Double edged sword imo.

Think this level is too much of a step up Gareth unfortunately. It’s not about ‘form’ or ‘going through a bad patch’, I just think the bowlers are too smart in this league. No leg side game whatsoever, no rotating the strike and you don’t hit the ball particularly clean either. Time to drop back down to Woodhall Spa

[@D-d-dvon]

Little bad patch of form, no worries. Just takes one innings to change things around. One thing I'd say though that I've noticed in the videos lately, I'd stop telling myself to 'Watch the ball' when the bowler is already about to deliver. You'll watch the ball, sure, but to me that's too late and it's distracting. I'd say it before he reaches the umpire, then lock in the focus

[@admiralthrawn717]

Hey Gareth, Huge Fan of the channel since the start. Honestly so annoyed by every comment that thinks they're the next Michael Atherton and can use the platform to critique and overanalyse. I think people forget why we play cricket, and that's to have fun, to love the sport. So thank you for making these videos, I am moving to the UK next year, and I so desperately want to get playing cricket in the UK. Winter in Australia is sad, so your videos allow me to still enjoy some cricket. So thank you, keep working and keep loving the sport. That's why we're subscribed.

@@Jmeasports one of the best advices I got " Just watch the ball and react " Very difficult in hindsight but a clear mind and just focusing on the ball gets you into better positions and better hand eye coordination. If your mind is cluttered, you can either try off stump guard and trigger to middle when the ball is released or try KP and Amlasque trigger movements.

Thanks Shaun. Really appreciate your comment and support 💯

[@marcswan3160]

You look tentative, and while being patient and waiting for the bad ball may work in some leagues in others it won’t. Of course you don’t know the league or the bowlers, so reading the game and spotting opportunities is harder. But from what I can take a leg stump guard suits your game when you play back go all the way back and when you go forward back yourself. Right now I think your best to Show aggression to unsettle the bowlers rythm. It’s good to look to get forward out of the crease early just pick a straight ball. See the gaps and work the ball, even be loud on every call show intent and aggression. Fortune favours the brave.

Not a fan of this comments sections, its almost like you lot were waiting for him to go through a bad patch. Pretty pathetic actually. Gareth genuinely never claimed to be Bradman or something to warrant this kind of reaction, hes just a guy sharing his club cricket journey and if thats too much for you then get lost. I dont think Gareths out of form technically and no this levels not too much for him, its a new club, new league, different style of playing (the team generally plays more agressive lead by the captain), it takes time to adjust. In fact the first upload in the 1s for this club people were commenting that this league was below the standard of the previous league. Having Binged his channel for a few years hes taken apart attacks as good as these, i remember it took time for him to adjust going to the 1s in the last club but he got better and by the end was class and had more than a few match winning innings under his belt. At his best Gareths pinching a lot of singles to mid on/mid off and rotating the strike, I think at the moment hes just thinking about survival and losing his natural rhythm maybe focus on strike rotation as hes good enough to put away the bad ones. I live in Perth and have done sessions with Tom Scolay and one thing hes great at is the mental side, maybe shoot him a message to have a chat.
