The trick here is to spend some time away from the middle visulising your past and future successes. You can read more details in my post on "getting the right attitude" here: http://www.harrowdrive.com/?p=110 Great comment Guy, although I would add that you can’t fool yourself into thinking you are good when you really don’t believe it.

When you enter a game think about where you WILL score your runs, and try to visualise everyone as being lesser than yourself. Some say cricket is a selfish sport. While this comment is massively untrue, it does uncover a large aspect of the way we should play cricket. People say cricket is a selfish sport because people think about themselves confidently, more often. This is just plainly because cricket is a tactical sport, and batting relies almost solely on your confidence. If you are unconfident, you will give out bad vibes to the opposition players. The human body picks up on the way someone else is thining extremely well (This ties in with theories created for successful dating). You must believe in yourself. When you next get to the middle, tell yourself that you are good, tell yourself that you are better than the people around you. And act upon it, because if you can get this part right, you WILL be exactly as you picture yourself. Now go and be confident, believe in yourself, and shine and as Ian says... Go play some cricket :P Guy Yes, this is very good and should not be overlooked or laughed at.

Therefore there is NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF just do what you need to do to acheive your best. Focus on what you want to acheive to bring about this success, bat straight and wait for the ball for me. Thats my approach to cricket Ive just taken the sport up at the age of 41 and love the opportunity it gives me to develop for life. Cant wait until Freddie and KP bat us to victory tonight, Possitve thinking wins Matt I find that by recognising that I play Cricket to enjoy succeeding there is no such thing as failing just a level of success that I acheived in reality.

Its a natural process, but it is something we need to control if we want to succeed. Brain is programmed to give us answer to any question we ask it. When you ask your self "Why cant I score anything?", your brain exactly shows you why you CAN'T If you ask yourself "How can I score more runs?", brain shows you how you CAN. Ask good questions.
