The slower paced guys give me nightmares, I get caught all the time.
I hit 5 6's off a McGrath over. Really enjoyed that!

Okay,I am now actually hitting the ball........right into the fielders hands. Timing seems to be very important against the spinners.

I am having a lot of trouble scoring on the off-side. So balls wide of off stump I rarely score from, any hints ?

cheers

I struggled in the beginning as well, now I'm hitting 6's and 4's off basically every ball on the off side.
You need to watch carefully - if it's bowled off side, press right immediately, you'll start hitting the boundaries in no time.

What gets me is the slower bowlers.
Like Johan, I keep on hitting it into the hands of mid-wicket.

Nuts!

When the slower bowlers bowl middle-leg I use the score board as target practise. I love how it blows up when you hit it 🙂

The over from Murali that I mentioned before I scored:

4 4 6 6 3 3 ---- total 26 ALL on the on side

Yeah, that score board exploding is cool!

I just hit 60* with Gilchrist to beat the USA. He got his 50 in the 2nd over! Man that was great. I beat them in three overs.
That's my best batting so far.
