My tip is to always bring the bat back level with the top of the stumps. Then play it depending on where it pitches. If it's going to pitch in a half volley region then smash it for six or four. If it's shortish then it's also quite easy to get under it. A full toss is the hardest to get runs off, but once you get in the hang of it then it's quite easy to get decent runs out of it. Obviously you play the odd bad shot but there will be times when you don't lose your wicket for a while.
Maybe if I was good I would have been able to take advantage of what happened to me yesterday. I somehow knocked the stumps over with my bat and as a result the ball couldn't hit the stumps anymore.
If you look carefully, the bail is hanging in mid-air
Happened to me as well on 3-4 occasions. I dont really think it would make much of a difference, because if you happen to miss a ball, it will go to the out zone behind you.
