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!

[jimster]

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

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!
