BATTING IN A MATCH & WEARING A MICROPHONE (Part 2)
Batting Part 1: • BATTING IN A MATCH & W...
Bowling: • BOWLING IN A CRICKET M...
On July 21st 2018, I played a one-off league match for Eastcote CC vs Enfiled CC in the Middlesex Premier League Division 2. I hadn't played or trained for 4 months (since the Australian season ended in March) so was uncertain how I'd go. Eastcote is my former club of 5 seasons (2008-2012) so it was great to get back and play a match for them.
For this piece of content, I had my videographer, Will, film my batting and bowling while I wore a microphone to talk through what I was thinking, how I was feeling and what my plans were. This is part one of a unique video series that I hope you'll enjoy and learn something from. Please Like & share and leave a comment below to let me know what you think.
An insight into the batter:

I love the guy in the background with no shirt on and just chilling he is a legend 👌👏😂

@cricketmentoring 5 лет назад

Haha isn’t he! Goes every week as well.

@jackprice5795 6 лет назад

Because the talking is so quiet I've got max volume on... that 'nooo!' at 16:26 practically burst my ear drums.

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Ah shit sorry mate. I was trying to talk softly so others weren't hearing what I was saying then the scream. Hope your ears are ok mate!

@Guy_6397 6 лет назад

I said it on the last video and I'll say it again. This is by far your best content, this and the nets/technique stuff. Really great, can't wait to get to my next game and start talking to myself - I might stare at the keeper for extra effect 😁 Great work mate, more of this please!

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Haha love it! The keeper will definitely think you're strange as the keeper in this match probably thought about me! Thanks mate. Will try and do more when possible!

@jaked7878 6 лет назад

Big fan of the slower opening bowler!amazing line and length, subtle in swing. The sort of bowler that makes you take a risk to score. A lot of batsmen would throw their wicket away.

@nandkishore3155 4 года назад

Nice thinking ,this type of videos should be made regularly. It's really helpful beginners band young cricketers .They will get an idea to build up their innings .

@cricketmentoring 4 года назад

@deanswift4114 4 года назад

As an old ex cricketer this really took me back. Well done!

@harveyjohnny1967 6 лет назад

Great videos, I've only started playing a few years back and staying in the right mindset at the crease is massive for me. This shows A- it's important for experienced players, B- it's not that easy and C- you can do it by positive repetition of thoughts and phrases

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Good work mate!

@prashanthsholanki8270 6 лет назад

Talking to yourself is a great thing to do as a cricketer this helped me alot. Thanks a lot mate..keep helping :)

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Absolutely mate!

@barrycashin5366 5 лет назад

My real name is Barry Cashin and I was opening bat for Shenley village CC from 1993 to 2003. I always talked to myself and psyched it out in the middle. I urge young players always to analyse their game ball by ball, it’s a great way of engaging within the game and watching what you do. You WILL score more runs.

@ShivnathBadri 6 лет назад

The most noticeable change from when he comes out to bat till somewhere in between is his breathing. And it's amazing how our psyche is affected by it. Great video once again. Impressive innovative and gets one thinking. Hats off to you sir 🔥✌️

@davidwalker1571 6 лет назад

So glad to have stumbled across this! Great little series you've done here, will be checking out some more of your videos because this is fantastic content! Should be proud of yourself mate great stuff!

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Thanks so much mate! Glad you enjoyed it!

@DanielWhitton96 6 лет назад

Hey mate, quality video, one of your best yet!! Seriously interesting and helpful to see how you approach the mental side of batting. Used some of the techniques you used in this video when batting yesterday ("win this ball" , setting little milestones of 10, and telling myself to refocus after a stint at the non-strikers end) and the change in my game was instant. Never felt so calm, focused and in control mentally whilst at the crease. Way more focused on each ball and the results were awesome... my first century of the season! Looking forward to learning more from your future videos!

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Mate, that is awesome. So stoked to hear that. Well done legend. It's amazing how much success you can have when you get your mindset and emotions into the right space. Make sure you take note of what you did well and what allowed you to have the success that you had. Well done legend!

@felix1adp 5 лет назад

great video mate, just got back into cricket after a long hiatus and watching loads of youtube videos as i've caught the cricket bug now. what a great sport cricket is, i could watch this stuff all day!

@reillymartin553 6 лет назад

Should get a go-pro. That would make for some great footage. All the same great vid

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Will get it done one day for you mate!

@yozza18 6 лет назад

First time I've come across the channel and loved this bit of content. Got a few bowlers in my comp like the bloke at the bottom end and particularly enjoyed you telling yourself to focus on taking a shorter stride and to not over balance. Great stuff mate.

16:04 it’s still there...😂 Really dislike the drinks break when batting, takes a real effort to get back into the groove.

@TheGilbalfas 6 лет назад

Really enjoyed these 2 vids. Helped me with my own batting. Just to hear another batters mindset and self talk. Keep it up. This can help people learn the game.

@captaingaming6676 6 лет назад

@brentonmiller4020 6 лет назад

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Thanks mate. Switching on and off is one of the most important skills a batter can ever have!

@cianoshea6911 6 лет назад

@terryhall5593 5 лет назад

I'm glad I'm not the only one who speaks to himself at the crease

@akshayjain6290 6 лет назад

This is such an amazing video! A whole different video which actually was based on a match played and how to just keep yourself calm and play according to the conditions,this has been a really helpful video as it encourages self talk which I believe is one of the most underrated things in cricket!! Really helpful , thank you Tom scollay 😁👍

@fredje112 6 лет назад

All the way from the Netherlands here, loved your first and second video. As somebody commented before, I played last Sunday and your talking really helped me a lott. Basic stuff as weight down the pitch and head towards the ball. Keep up the great enthousiastic work! WK must thought I was crazy :-)... Loved the flick shot!

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Thanks mate! Glad we have been able to help

@hazzout5939 6 лет назад

@YerenRosie 6 лет назад

Really great insight mate, thank you! I play 30 overs a side (beer in hand) Sunday cricket, but this was still some really great insight and advice on the mindset that could help my game!

@ThePabloMukherjee 6 лет назад

Great content Tom. I have been watching your stuff for over a year now, I have enjoyed your reflections on the game very much. As someone from India who has been living and playing league cricket in England for nearly twenty years now, I certainly relate to batting on a green top (I open) where the Duke ball never stops swinging! I have never got to the professional level you have, but it is great to see that batsmen of all abilities addressing the same range of mental and technical issues. I am assuming you normally do not talk as much to yourself between balls during normal games? I get out a lot between 30 and 70, so one of my problems is definitely to do with mid-innings concentration. My normal pre-delivery check-list is pretty simple - I tell myself to check my feet, grip, head and watch the ball. In between deliveries, I walk away to square leg and then start again. On some days, when it works, I can almost shut out everything including the slips and the keeper. But obviously, it does not work on many days. I am wondering whether I should follow your example and try talking a bit more to myself! Anyway - good luck with everything and I look forward to your next upload.

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Thanks for your thoughts mate. I certainly don't normally talk that much during an innings. Was to give the audience something interesting. I normally try and sing a song to myself in between balls or look into the distance and zone out a bit. Something that helps me stay relaxed mentally. Worth trying new things in my opnion mate...

@ThePabloMukherjee 6 лет назад

Cheers Tom - yeah I zone out in between with a little walk and a stare into distance to take in the environment around the grounds. Maybe I should hum a little tune while I do it! Are you planning another UK trip at some point? I am wondering whether you would be up for a spot of club coaching session in Oxford if you are, and what your rates would be? BTW, I have an open stance like you but I noticed that your back foot is very parallel to the crease (which allows your back swing to come down straight and give you good access to the ball), whereas mine sometimes tend to go around a bit to align itself a bit more to the front foot.This feels more comfortable,but it does mean that sometimes my swing is coming down at an angle and if I am hitting mid-wicket/square instead of mid-on and getting out lbw or bowled. Should my backfoot be totally parallel to the crease and dictate how open my front foot should be? Hope you are enjoying being back in Perth.

@pleasedontreadmyprofilepic8410 6 лет назад

"Gone into my shell abit here". I'm not a great batsmen, but I often find myself batting for long periods of time and the best thing I have found is to enjoy defending, to find the same amount of satisfaction not matter if ur playing a forward defence or swivelling on a nice pullshot. If your playing a solid defensive shot, balls coming out the middle, weight in the right spot and the ball quickly rolls to the fielder. That should be as bigger victory as hitting a boundary. I've also got a career average of about 20 so don't take my advice too seriously. Great vid👍🏻👍🏻

@michaels8851 6 лет назад

Good on you for making this and the part 1 video. It's a great resource for all cricketers. Some very aggressive leaving early and perhaps you felt a bit of extra pressure as your batting partner was scoring quite slowly. Well done and I'm going to suggest that my cricket club does the same thing to help local juniors.

@malonedan9816 6 лет назад

@cricketmentoring 4 года назад

@samuelburt7534 5 лет назад

The film runs out the ball before you go out? Fair enough. It’s actually a really good video about how emotions and attitude inform your batting. Early on your saying “ball on its merits” a lot and “this ball” but that actually drops off and what it’s replaced with is you sort of predicting where they are going to put the ball. Sort of explains where the mind is focusing - what it’s focusing on and how that can lead to error.

@nicholasmidson7980 5 лет назад

@gamingsports.9288 6 лет назад

Nice one👍👍👍👍

@clintstevens1074 6 лет назад

Everyone is talking about the rabada action in these clips but your batting style is very similar to De Villiers, especially with the cover drives.

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Haha that's a very big compliment. Not sure it's correct but I'll take it!

@__lancaster 2 года назад

You always look perfectly balanced just prior to the release of the ball but you must have a mental tendency to want to move forward because you quite often miss an easy clip off your hips when the ball is going down leg side (tend to fall over by the time the ball comes to you). Awesome footage though mate.

@greg3982 3 года назад

used to walk across this ground all the time, played there a couple times too, weird to see it in a video

@s.w.9040 5 лет назад

@thabanisithole3868 5 лет назад

Great content .. ama get meself a mic and record my thoughts too when i bat ... usually get nervous when am batting high up the order ...

@abhisyantanasapurapu4413 6 лет назад

Play every ball as it comes mate, batting is a subconscious act, you tend to plan way too much before the ball is bowled, train your instincts not the decision of what shot you’re going to play. When you practice, train your subconscious more than assumptive batting. You’re a great batsman. Keep it up! Great video.

@davedavy5406 6 лет назад

The guy bowling from the far end (with the keeper up at the stumps) looks like he just about bowls back-foot no-balls all the time.

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

wouldn't be too far away!

@abhimanyuchutani688 2 года назад

Hi. Great video sir. I have played lots of cricket. What was something new to me was the switch off and game on 'thing ' you were doing. When I go out and bat , I am always alert and watching everything that is happening on the ground. The times I have batted for long periods of time, I have been mentally exhausted, physically not so much. Was wondering if I could learn the art of switching off ? If yes, then how? Thanks

@MasterOfMyDestiny 6 лет назад

Great video man. Loved the constant mantra of "next ball"... being able to switch on and off and the good constant banter....just curious..what was the good sledge?

@cricketmentoring 6 лет назад

Thanks mate! To be honest I can't even remember what he said to me. Maybe something along the lines of "you can't do that man" or something

@mattlord1980 6 лет назад

@adrishmukhopadhyay3837 6 лет назад

Thanks mate. He is a very good bowler and bowled a top spell. I thought I played him quite well considering I hadn't picked up a bat in 4 months haha

@adrishmukhopadhyay3837 6 лет назад

I think it's really good mate. I played 3 seasons in Darwin when I was 16 (2004), 18 (2006) & 19 (2007) and loved it up there. It was a great comp then and I know the Strike league is very good. Would love to get there sometime.
