Salam Everyone,
This is more or less a cry of frustration or sharing the gutted feeling or call for advice. I have totally lost my batting completely out of form or touch, bad part is that it is not possible for me to practice even after a lot of tries (No facility available,no space at home to hang ball and try something and dont have much support that any one give me 30 mins throw down if not proper net session).
Today I played 2nd game of seasons bowling was fine I got 4 wickets quite cheaply got hammered in last over for 2 sixes and a 4 but that was not completely heart breaking. Came to bat at no 4 on very crucial time team was in some pressure we lost 3 important wickets for just 24 and captain was relying on me to built up some kind of a partnership with other opener who was going quite well, I batted for 6 overs faced 20 odd balls miss at least 40% (nothing was special in the bowling at all really trust me) and scored just 1 run and got a top edge and got out. Even when I was able to connect the ball it was right in the hands of fielder I felt so much pressure and was totally clueless about everything and we lost (I was no the sole reason for this but I really felt bad). Before last season I was doing very good got avg of 40+ scored few 50s and some really handy 40s and 30s while opening and was able to score boundaries and take singles at will really.
What shall I do do I have any chance to come up and proof something I feel bad for my team they are kind enough not to tell me that I should hang my boots I am not playing all the games but still they give me chances every now and then giving rest to some other players one by one but I really feel for them.
This batting story is not only of this game I am so scared to play the ball on the leg side I always feel that I will get lbw or get bowled what is wrong with me ?? is it really time to hang my boots. I must add that I am 27 and at the best of my fitness I have no issues in running or any other fitness issue one of the most fittest player in the team and doing great in the field.
Some help or advice is strongly needed (cursing,blaming,and giving open advice is totally allowed)
