Dont play anymore but when I did I was very particular about only one thing... when I batted I ALWAYS tried not to get out. Spoiled the batting if I did.

:laugh :rtfl

I always try not to think about bowling when I bowl..just...y'know..let it happen...don't think much...

 

[sohum]

I try to bowl straight and on the stumps, basically. Occasionally throw in a slower ball. Apart from that, the night before I basically dream how the match should progress.

 

[Skater]

No superstitions for me. I believe we all make our own luck in this world.

I think I like shahid6995's attitude.

the way i pad up: Box, Left Pad, Right Pad, Outter thigh, Inner thigh (if playing county), Gloves, Then Throw downs, then on the way out i take off my gloves to put my helmet on, then my gloves again!

I always wear a sweater to start my innings untill it gets too hot, and always wear a certain necklace.

Always listen to the same music before the game

Always have the same mental preparation, but im not gonna say what, it takes too long!

yeah i got a couple. i.m a batsman btw.

not walkin over the crease lines when i'm batting.
not lookin at the pitch before the game

 

[fardin]

I am also a batsman,
sorry To be off topic,but I am going opener This saturday hoping for some thing spactacular from a batsman slow as me,

Before I go batting I just knock couple of bowls ask my team mates to bowl for me and then try to calm my self down thinking What I would do in the middle.Practice a front foot shot,

One more question do you feel good with the helmet on?I hate the helmet but for safety issues I wear it,I just hate the helmet It always distractes me while batting.

well i don't believe in supersitions like torw its gonan be friday may 13 people are suspersitions bout that i don't know why... i believe whats gonna happen has to happen

 

[andyptl18]

i dont really believe in superstitions BUT...
i always tell myself to wait for the ball while n before i am batting ( if i dont i always score no more than 10)
n before every ball i move my back foot a little bit ( its more of a habit now)

 

[langerrox]

hehe will p very supestis (by stevie wonder) u should listen to that b4 a game

 

[Will p]

I didn't make these superstiions on purpose, they just happened! And fardin wearing a helmet helps me concentrate

 

[Stephen Bailey]

And fardin wearing a helmet helps me concentrate

Plus you have to wear one until you're 18 over here. I don't do anything before I go out to bat, but while batting i'm always talking to myself and going for walks between balls.

 

[Will p]

I try to make sure im in my zone (when i cant hear anything or cant concentrate on anything except the ball) and like Stevie between every ball i walk around, never still! And speak of helemts to concentrate, im getting a new one tomorow Masuri, probably titanium but that way (kos its more expensize) i will have to pay for some of it myself but i think its worth it!
