Quick Tip: Get Self-Centred at Nets (And Get Everyone Else Equally Egotistic)

Nowadays you have a powerful camera built in to your smartphone. Are you using it at nets?
I have noticed that players love to see themselves bat and bowl, but they rarely film themselves, unless a coach instigates it. Yet the power of video is great.
When you see yourself bowl a yorker, or hit a four you feel great. When you watch back and spot a technical issue you can go and work hard on ironing it out when you most likely don't believe it when your mate tells you.
So, film yourself as much as you can.
Overcome Cricket Nerves with a Mental Net
One of the biggest problems faced by cricketers is the nerves before playing. But what if I told you worrying in the right way is perfect for getting you through a tough game?
We all worry, and that worry is usually fearing the worst. Everyone has had the moment where they wonder if they will get out first ball. It's usually around the time you are in next. It's uncomfortable and it makes you nervy at the crease, stopping you play your natural game.
So, switch the worry to focus on what you can do instead.
You can still worry, it's just you can make it productive instead of being filled with panic.
Stop Making Excuses About "Style" to Start Making Runs
Whatever your style as a batsman, you can't use it as an excuse.
If you are a big hitter and you get out in a tight run chase trying to clear deep midwicket, you can't shrug and say "it's the way I play".
If you are a naturally cautious batsman there is no excuse for making the middle order have to take risks because you have wasted balls at the top of the order.
Some might say it's selfish batting.

Three Simple Ways to Make Your Cricket Team Better
Being in a good team requires you to be a good team member. It's easy to think the best way to do that is by strong individual performances, but you can easily do so much more and contribute to other's games at the same time.
Cricket is a team sport played by solo players. Teamwork is a more subtle area that is easy to overlook. So let's no over-complicate things and get right to the heart of what makes a good team player (who doesn't compromise her own game in the process).
Start by looking left and right.
