Batting Form

[straightdrive1]

What do you guys do when you are not in form and struggling...
Is there any easy way to overcome this bad form?

 

[Cover Drive]

Keep working hard and believing in yourself.

Be confident but not over confident.

 

[ammo]

If you bat a lot you will get back in form, itsust a matter of working hard and figuring your problems out

 

[anakwalajinn]

just stay in the middle and tuk tuk so much that runs will come automatically
don't think that you are in a bad form. dismissals and runs are part of cricket

I don't believe in form.

I go out every innings believing I'm going to score, simple as that. Obviously I don't score a ton every innings but the mentality has paid off thus far.

Kind of agree. Every match is a new match. When one is scoring low, they think I am in a bad form and is in a negative frame of mind. It's all mental, though.

Absolutely, but getting over this mental barrier can be tough sometimes (I am going thru it these days) ...but sometimes its just one shot or one innings which can snap you out of this

Exactly you have to believe in yourself and your abilities.

Pretend it's your debut/first game of the season? Or a comeback?
I perform pretty decent in my comebacks for some reason

Already taken 6 retirements or something in the Norwegian league ) (TRUE!)

[All-Rounder]

In India straightdrive?

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

Belief in yourself.

I know it might sound silly but watch the ball closely. When you are not scoring many runs, you find that you watch the bowler rather than the ball. Watch the ball closely.

Stay in for a period of time and then once you're seeing it more clearly, you can play more expansively if the situation dictates that.

Thanks a lot man .

 

[Wasim_Waqar]

Let me know how it goes

 

[straightdrive1]

Let me know how it goes

Well to be honest , I won't be playing a match anytime soon because of my studies.

 

[baalti]

i have an easy solution for it

of course you have to do all the hard work, lots of practice and mentally prepare yourself etc etc etc

but when you are down in the dumps with the form, simply call a couple of your buddies who massively suck at cricket but are good enough to bowl at you... beat the day lights out of them and you will find confidence and form soon

trust me it works.... and if you are my practice friends reading this...well

What is this myth known as 'form' here? It is not some kind of F1 race that you get positions,it all depends on what shot you select and when. I believe the best thing to do when not in 'form' is-Watch the ball till the end,this is the most avoided part when you aren't in form.Watch the ball and see the gaps not the fielder. Play your natural game and don't think too much.Sometimes your mental situation leads to your downfall.
