Hello,
I played a 20/20 wednesday night and clipped one past a fielder just slightly and called for a single but was too sluggish out of the blocks and ran myself out, direct hit.
I wondered what i could do to get myself out of the block a bit quicker as im not exactly a sluggish person, do the 100m in about 13 seconds.
Any ideas would be grand :)

I guess any indication of sluggishness and struggle would get the fielder to target you. I would run hard and put pressure on the other bloke. Thats my 2 pence anyway. :) :)
-
perhaps using the call of "waiting" to see if its past the fielder rather than going when he fielded it may help ;)
-
Na it went past him and i went and he just got it and launched it and i was gone
-
Not much you can do in that case. was it a misfield? how far past him and how deep was he?
-
He was at mid on and i clipped 5-10 years behind him, and he just got it rocket armed it
-
if he was at regulation mid on and you running to the danger end probably sounds like not the best call. had you seen him throw/field yet to get an idea if he was poor or had a rocket arm?
-
well i assumed he was like the rest of the team, which were poor and assumed he was all gear no idea, as he had nike fly wires, and i was proven wrong
-
i wouldnt worry too much, think we have all had a moment like that. if your doing the 100 in about 13 seconds it doesnt sound like you should need to worry most of the time.

Yeah i suppose it was a one off
