Helpful hints from the Captain

A: FOR BATSMEN

1: Please focus and settle in before going after shots. (4 to 6 balls)
2: Look for bad balls and execute accordingly.
3: Adjudge runs carefully before running between wickets. Don't attempt runs which are not there.
4: Batsman's call if ball is in front of batsman.
5: Non-strikers call if the ball hit behind the batsman.
6: Use practice sessions as if you are playing a game.
7: Batsman play your own style.
8: Keep eyes on the ball at all times.

B: FOR BOWLERS

1: Line and length.
2: Concentrate on each ball.
3: Breathe deeply.
4: Warm-up before bowling.
5:Quick analysis of batsman look for weaknesses, if not possible bowl line and length.
6: Keep the ball on and off the OFF STUMP or leg stump depending on the bowler.
7: PLEASE bowl to the set field.

C: FOR FIELDSMEN

1: Before the ball is bowled: examine the field, know your responsibilities.
2: As the ball reaches the batsman assume fielding position:  A. Close fielders: crouch, hands forward and up.  B. Infielders: knees bent, hands apart.  C. Outfielders: upright, hands off hips.
3: As ball is struck by the batsman: Mobility I: Get as close to the line of the ball as possible.  Mobility II: Adjust for contact with ball.  Mobility III: React after contact.
4: Backing up the play: Go immediately to the line of the throw. 

As captain, I would kindly request that players do not talk or misbehave on the field or off the field. To win we need full co-operation.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1: If there is a problem - do not discuss it on the field, wait for a water break or between inning.
2 Remember - there may be 11 options to a particular decision, only ONE can be made.
3: Gentlemen let's play together and win or lose - let us do it proudly.
Cricket is still a GENTLE man's game.
4: A short meeting will be held before and after each game. (5 minutes)
