Star me if your feeling nice today

Answer 1

I try not to be like Harbhajan or Sreesanth.

Answer 2

ok when batting i would concentrate on the ball and my timing and when bowling i would try to aim middle stump  because i am a fast bowler.

Answer 3

When will it be over.

Answer 4

It's been ages since I played, but:

Batting - I would usually bat 4th or 5th. Very concentrated & I generally looked to go for 1s & 2s, although I did manage quite a few 4s, but seldom any 6s. I like to save wickets but would not waste balls unnecessarily. I team up with my partner batsman on that.

Bowling - Never been a bowler !

Fielding - I think this is my strongest point. Am very agile, and quick. Have been in almost all fielding positions and done extremely well! I love to crack jokes (indulge in sarcastic humor from time-to-time) and pump-up my team when fielding.

Answer 5

Batting - Depends on the game , can stonewall if needed but would rather just go out and play my shots.Love spanking a quick back over his head and a cheesy grin with the inevitable stare that follows. I talk to the other bat and generally try and go with the game. Am most likely to get out caught on the mid on boundary.

Bowling- Try to pick bats weak areas and bowl to them, can bowl a mean quick ball off a short run which can cause a bit of fun. Used to lose my rag but cant be arsed now!!

Fielding-I don't enjoy fielding and though I would say I have a safe pair of hands , I am often away with the Fairies, still give 100% though , just count down those overs.

Answer 6

when i bowl in my mind i see a ground with just me and the stumps and i just have to destroy them as nearly all my wicktes have been a result of "clean bowled" and as for batting for me its all "hit, smash and trash" it may fail but when you get going you are a machine gun.

Answer 7

Nice Question mate.

Batting- When i'm batting i always go into a zone, i must be frustrating to bat with actually cos i don't say many words to the non-striker. To bat at my best i need to focus 100% on the innings, so i just try and empty my mind and focus on nothing but the ball. When i'm batting i like to try and put the bowlers off, sometimes i might stand 2 steps out of my crease, and some days i might stand very close to my stumps. Anyway i'm an agressive batsmen who loves to get on the front foot to the pace bowlers, and like to use my feet against the spinner.

Bowling- I'm not an intimidating bowler, i bowl prety gentle mediums, so i just like to give the batsmen a few things to think about. I bowl a h**l of a lot of slow balls and i like to say a things to the batsmen.

Fielding- When i'm fieling i'm mostly thinking about my batting innings (either looking forward to batting or thinking about my dismissal). Luckily i'm usually placed at mid-off, so i don't have much to do !
