Best thing to say mind games wise is... "Do you breath in or out as the bowler is about to deliver?"
Certainly worked on me once last year, was in the back of my mind as bowler was running in...stumps everywhere

A lot of it depend on the level and committment of your team mates.  You can mix and match on the day planning wise, or you can plan to quite a good detail.  I would suggest that early on everyone works on their core skills eg batters bat, bowlers bowl, but they should be encouraged to develop a second string, so batters should be able to roll their arms over in a game if required, also how often does a extra 30-40 runs from 9 10 and 11 make a difference in the overall result.

In a two net scenario:

I would have an established batter in one net, with fast bowlers and seam bowlers in that net with a bowler batting in the other against part timers and spinners.  Have each player working on two specific skills and be responsible for monitoring that through the net.  Important they can assess it post net. 

Then just rotate the batters and do the same thing, I reckon 7 mins per net and swap.  Key is to keep it sharp and focussed.  Too often guys bat too long and loose the intensity.

Am open to helping guys out.  HAve played up to first class in NZ and been a pro for clubs in the UK and been in charge of junior coaching at schools and clubs so pretty well versed with net issues.  Key is to mix it up try things every now and then to keep it interesting.

just out of interest. I am currently watching the recording of todays SA vs NZ test.. McCullum does the right foot thing like the OP does. I'd not seen it before and hadn't noticed McCullum doing it till today either. Pointless post I know but thought I'd share. :)

Digging this up now that nets have started. Ran into an unexpected issue having had a bowling machine at our nets for the first time. All the batters loved it but bowlers complained they didn't get to bowl as much as we were one lane down with the machine in. Anyone else had this? How did you deal with it?

get them bowling to targets and a keeper, much better practice early season than to batters who are trying to slog away the cobwebs anyway.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

Thanks Kulli, personally I agree with that but then I'm not a bowler. Will give that arty and see what the bowlers union have to say on the matter  ;)

If that fails get a lifesized cutout of a batsman for them!
