if watching the ball is too hard, try watching the seam instead.

Tried something different this weekend. Normally I have some pre-conceived notions going through my head about what shots to play etc. This time, all I did, was keep eyes level (that Martin Crowe tip that he borrowed from Gavaskar) and focus on the ball, feeling relaxed. Balls were coming at me in slow motion - much easier.

Sounds like you're away now, broken bat, keeping it simple is always the best policy and relaxation at the crease is so important.
