by: Coach Pybus Hi Sarvesh, make a list of the things you need to do in each stage of preparing and managing your innings.1. Waiting to bat – your state of mind – calm, focused, ready2. First phase of your innings – getting in.

3. Managing your innings – strike rotation, scoring areas, boundary areas.

4. Finishing the job – batting through the innings, reaching the opposition target.

Now look at your notes, keep it short and simple and practice each stage when you go to practice at the nets and in practice games.

Play with good intent.

Regards Coach
