How do you watch mobile videos on the site, and I agree with Kieron in hindsight. Much better to ask one person what they think via pm than get 100 different replies on an open forum. That way you might get only 1 or 2 things to work on at a time.

Looks pretty good to me! On some deliveries you get quite low in your stance at the point of release, a bit like Eoin Morgan was doing but other than that there is nothing to my untrained eye that sticks out. I wish my batting was as bad as yours!  :D

I'd pack it in mate.

Flog your kit and take up tennis.

Reds, in all seriousness mate, I have seen you bat before and I don't think you have much to worry about!

Can't seem to see this link though, but you wouldn't want advice from someone who forgets which end to hold the bat half the time.

reminds me of almost every net session I have seen, the odd heave or slog.  It just what everyone does in the nets. Perhaps if you wanted to improve you could set yourself little targets like I wont get out this session or I will not hit in the air this session.  I do this if I thought I got a bit carried away one week or I felt something was not going well.

my eye was drawn to the classy looking batsman to the right  ;)

Like I've said before, nets in general as designed to make you look bad and it's what you learn from it that matters, not the performance itself. Sometimes I lose the will to live when batting and either block/just concentrate on playing straight (feel tired, back hurting and bored) or play shots I can't play (dilscoop or reverse sweep because I'm bored). I think the pro's have it right - get a few throw downs to make sure the basics are in place.

Nothing wrong with your batting imho, biggest problem is a low boredom freehold and the trundle attack. Next week let's get them bowling off 18 yards and have some fun  :)
