The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Wind self up into state of rage.

Run in and fling ball at batsman at stumps as hard as possible.

Being serious

Bowling I use the warne mentality of trying to make the batsman play the shots I want him to play so can control game

Batting play in my areas and ignore muppets in field just play each ball no matter how good or bad

If you are having to tell yourself to ignore people then I would suggest you have already let them get inside your head.

Best mental techniques are done before the game. Then during the game your mind is clear.

Tell myself that before game as I let my cricket do talking as generally shuts them up as some real beep beeps in league that try to make up for lack of talent with big mouths but I wind them up as I just chuckle as I've always found it amusing

Case in point opening batting gettin crap about being all leg next 3/5 balls go through cover for 4 no more noise

Lets just say not very good had worst year for 7 years with bat but due to other things like moving up and down order from 2 to 8 as first year at new club and did not get settled or chances but did well with ball at least
