Recently ive had a few innings in which ive scored 40 odd and then some when i dont get above 5. Yet every time this season when ive gotten out (so about 7 times) ive not been annoyed what so ever, in fact when ive walked out the pitch ive been smiling. Im 16 and trying to push for a place in the 2nd team and currently play in the 3's play play in a premier division so is still a very good standard. So i was just wondering if this is a bad sign that i dont care when i get out?
-
i think its bad its like u dont care?
when i get out im fuming
weather it be on 0 or 100.
-
You wait all week for a bat, I'm gutted when I get out!

I'm with Simmy.. I'm proper fuming no matter what score I'm on as it's so so so so rare the bowler deserves my wicket and 99.9% of the time I get myself out so that's why I'm so annoyed. Couldn't care less about the bowler tbh.
-
I get really annoyed aswell haha!
-
Its not that i dont care, i do, i just dont get angry about it, i just kind of smile it off?
-
Eek having seen the state of my bat having got out for a golden on Sunday I will let that do the talking :(
-
If I get out stupidly then I'll be annoyed
But I tend not to get angry as much as I use to, as this just affect the rest of my game.

I threw mine on saturday too... then chased after it when it hit the wall and knowing is a Rob Pack master blaster :(
-
I'm the same as Jimster, and if its a good ball/catch/piece of fielding that gets me out i will nod/ say well done/ well bowled etc, however if its my fault i'm disappointed but i never get angry like throwing bats etc.
-
I launch my lid when I get into the changing room. One of the main reasons for selling my Ayrtek.
Should probably be looking for a new one soon as it's been launched a few times
-
That was my problem last year I simply tried the take it easy approach when I got out
and believe me it doesn't work in the final two games I cared about it got nervous and came up with a few good innings
Hope this helped

My rob pack currently has a lot of stud marks in :(
-
I went through a little stage of throwing the kit but soon got out of it. I used to get really angry with myself when I got out which then made me even more determined to do well next time. The flip side of this is that if I did fail in the following innings then my anger would just get worse and would lose my focus and batting concentration etc!
Nowadays I just try to keep calm and ask myself how I got out, what I could have done better etc and then try and improve my batting in training/nets the following week and onwards.
-
I used to throw my bat, which resulted in a big bench shaped dent in the back if my (at the time) brand new Chase. That's what stopped the bat throwing.
Many a glove thrown round dressing rooms which won't damage anything, and usually the spectators sat nearest the dressing room hear some of my finest Angalo Saxon!

I'm exactly the same, the helmet gets punched into the wall more often than not if it's a terrible shot. Although I did go through a phase where sometimes I felt all I could do was laugh at how bad the shot was or how bad a dismissal it was, I was however fuming at the same time but never left the pitch smiling
-
Nothing like a screamer to get their anger out either!

I never used to throw kit, but it makes me feel a lot better haha!
Most of the time it's me playing a bat shot I'm angry at myself for not having more patience and picking my shots
-
I will admit to never getting angry over T20, I usually do leave them smiling but that is because I genuinely don't care about T20. I just can't get interested in T20, just a slog fest for most people which is a bit boring so I generally use it as a social gathering with mates.
-
Not being angry over getting out is a good thing, it just shows that you know that cricket it a strange game and crap happens. Maybe a little bit of anger when you get out isn't a bad thing, especially when you've gotten yourself out with a rash and unneeded shot, but if you're beaten by a good ball, no point in getting angry. :) Definitely do not throw kit, unless it's softs. I will only every drop my bat on grass or softs if I'm annoyed, and will only throw pads and gloves directly to the floor. :-[

I don't believe in getting angry, abusing kit and losing my composure. I think its ok to smile, I do it all the time as it helps me focus on the team and make right decisions as I am also the captain but one thing that you must be wary of is the feeling of "oh well". I spent the entire season last year getting out playing 3-4 balls per match, walk out with a smile and saying/thinking "oh well that's how I play"
That's not good, got to a point where people were making comments and I realized keeping cool is good but cool outside should burn the fire even hotter inside, in short work extra hard. Hope this makes sense.

I make a rule of never throwing my bat...after all that's what's got to score me runs next time
-
I neer throw kit etc, however like I said I do get really angry
-
It depends. If I've got a ball that I can't do anything about, there's nothing you can do but smile.
If it's a crap shot/bad decision by the umpire, I'm fuming. (God help whoever on my team gives me out with a bad decision. It's not my kit that goes all over the changing room then...)
-
every time im out, even in the nets, on the beach or in my back garden i am fuming inside. I just grit my teeth, hang my head and walk off straight into the dressign room and take my kit off very slowly and analyse how i was out. Then after that i am fine and i go out and support my team.
In my younger days i would go straight to the dressing room, get my car keys and jump in my car and drive off ..... and return an hour later!!
Michael Bevan used to do it when he was club pro so i must have caught it off him.
-
i like kicking/punching
flags
walls
doors
i like throwing
bats
gloves
lid
anything i can do to get my anger out
-
I generally put my head down shake it a little, look up and do the same and mutter something along the lines of "you stupid idiot"
When I swing and miss while batting, I will walk to towards square leg and shake the head ans mutter something along the lines of "stop being a richard"
Far to say I have to do this a lot as after I hit a 4 I tend to come out swinging (the mental side of my game is worse than my technical ability and that is saying something)
-
Our home changing room get's a hammering. I find a pad against a wall makes a good sound and let's everyone know not to come in for 5 mins.
I usually quit cricket immediatley, try and sell my gear and walk round the boundary chain smoking muttering the usual "I hate this (No Swearing Please) game, waste of a saturday, why do I bother, etc"
I have seen a bloke turn up to field for 50 overs, get a golden, then wrap his £300 kook round a football post....
-
I'm never annoyed if I was got out if that makes sense! A good ball great catch excellent fielding I can live with. I get dissapointed if I allow myself to get out by a lazy shot, bite at some chirp, bad shot etc. I get angry when cheated like last Saturday. I get angry at teams that appeal as soon as ball hits pad regardless of where it hits etc. that's what really gets me angry.
I must say I never throw kit, I normally just mumble something as I'm walking off just load enough that the intended target can hear it.
-
I used to get very angry until my mrs cam to watch me one week, and told me I looked pathetic. Tended to agree with her and haven't erally reacted since!
-
It is a bit difficult to have a massive tantrum at getting out when your three year old comes to watch you play and wants to copy your every move...
also very difficult to walk off not looking really peed off and then to have to go straight into the nets, fully padded up to play with aformentioned 3 year old (who is also fully kitted up...!)
-
I keep my head down and walk into the changing room calling myself an idiot many times and telling myself why I am not getting runs (i.e that I lack cricket sense and that I am stupid ). I smoke a cigarette and tremble in anger subsequently becoming analytical to why I got out. Some of my club mates are a feast to watch. There is a spitting swearer when he gets out which lasts for about 30 mins. Then there is a moaner and everyone leaves the dressing room as soon as he is out.
-
I feel whatever your reaction to getting out, reflection is key.
I like to spend time alone or with a close team mate and reflect on what happened and what could have been done differently.
You have to be self aware enough to see when its your fault and put right these issues.
-
I think I read somewhere (many years ago) of a Pakistan test player who got out while on a truly dreadful trot. His teammates tactfully vacated the dressing room when he stalked in. Camped on the balcony all was silent - they had expected to hear the crash of a bat hurled in anger, but none came. Then they did hear a sound - the sound of sawing!
Personally, I have witnessed a grown man go and lock himself in the toilet, from whence came the sound of weeping...
It was his third first baller in a row...
-
I did see someone get the dreaded golden audi once... he gave up cricket that season! (And this was in mid may)

Geez, I'd hate to see how some of you react to a situation that has serious life consequences. It's a game, for eff's sake fellas so treat it like one. Sure, I love and take my cricket fairly seriously, but I know where the line is between rational and mental. Why work yourself up over getting out? Is it going to help you next time you're out there? Will it improve your next net, or mindset? Does it make you feel that much better? Will it stop you from playing the exact rash shot again two weeks on? No. It just makes you look like pratt. An ex-teammate once screamed at his 9yo son to "f-ck off" when he got out because his kid had the temerity to say "unlucky, dad" as he came back in. Imagine being that guy. Disappointment, sure, I get it. I get disappointed but I internalise it and remember I play for fun. But honestly, if you rage and carry on when you get out, you're no better than him in my book.

totally agree
-
Depends, I often used to get very very angry, I'd put my bat down nicely, then bail my gloves down hard and just be very bad all round, try run off if your angry, and forget about what's just happened
-
This is a strange thread, with a series of strange responses. Although I understand the frustration of getting out in cricket and I don't see it as a particularly fun experiences. However, as Tail ender says, its a game at the end of the day. Its not your profession (Speak for the majority) and at the end of the day if you cant enjoy your cricket at the weekend then surely you shouldn't play.
I can understand the frustration of say an England player having fielded a 100 odd overs to then get a golden, but not for players who play for self enjoyment and pleasure.
I think the key move after getting out is analyzing, HOW you got out, WHY you got out and what you AIM to do in future.
Too many players seem to get tied up in getting out and seem to think if they continuously moan about it someone will say, "you know what mate, you shouldn't have got out, pad back up and come in".
When your in aim to stay in, when your out accept it
-
I'm going to echo some of the more recent posts. You're out. Shrug your shoulders and get on with life. If you get that worked up about mistakes you've made I'd hate to see you play golf.
-
Different people react in different ways, I'm disappointed when out and might swear at myself when back in the changing room if I've played a stupid shot but not loudly.
These days I'm just happy to be able to play the game and if I make runs that is a bonus.....life is far too short to get that worked up about getting out.
-
Im personally a pad smacker! It probably damages my bat to be honest though! obviously done on the face not spine! then take off gloves and lid and sit in the changing room for 10 mins analysing how i played and remedies. then the chain smoking walk around the boundary with a rugby ball usually helps
-
I've got to say, people who throw their bat around and swear after making 50+ runs annoy me- especially when I'm out of form praying that a 50 comes my way. I generally walk of head low whispering to myself but I try my hardest to avoid throwing equipment. The worst thing I've done is sat on the side for 40 overs on my own after getting out in the 5ths which was probably my most embarrassing dismissal to date. Things that have annoyed me about people when they get are:
- Throwing your bat on the floor before your even off the pitch
- Not walking- seriously annoying, painfully embarrassing if it is your own team as well.
- Swearing loudly.
- Throwing equipment around in the changing rooms.
- Worst of all- bemoan to the rest of the team how $h*t the bowler is , especially next to the other teams scorer.
-
I never throw my bat and really hate when people do that especially when they have borrowed my bat. I like some time to reflect snd stay quiet. It is also the worst time to give me any advice and tell me what I should have done.
-
I played today, 45 off 39 deliveries (20 over match) when I get out it all depends on how I performed or how how I got out, usually I just shake my head or walk off quite contempt with how I batted. I've never argued with umpires decision or thrown equipment around.
