Batting Practice for Overachievers - Start From Scratch

in cricket •  3 years ago 

Something new is always good to learn. Start from scratch will give you many benefits. You will see the benefits in your mind and you will understand the benefit. Start from scratch will enable you to learn more and you will have a well-structured lessons with lots of exercises. Start from scratch will teach you how to construct sentences, words, sentences and paragraphs.


Meaning. To start something from scratch again, meaning having something recovered from a scratch. Example: starting point of the project being a road trip. Restarts the sentence from scratch in order to know the basics in a much better way.

The term "to start from scratch" was first used in the 18th century by Will de Maupain. In the article "A discourse on Criticism and Essay Writing" by Maupain he mentioned that a writer should aim for a scratched manuscript which can serve as an example or a stepping-stone for future work. To some extent this is similar to the mantra used in Yoga. According to this mantra "To begin with what you know."

Starting point The starting point is whatever you know at the time. A favourite quote by Maupassant "A writer should begin his work at least at the place where he knows the most things, for knowledge is nothing unless it is used." If you know a lot about cricket, why not use that knowledge to begin writing about cricket.

Fresh Start Using the first paragraph from the above quotation "A writer should begin his work at the place where he knows the most things, for knowledge is nothing unless it is used." Then write about what you know about cricket and relate it to your subject. For example, I was discussing with a fellow student the handicap figures for the season ending April this year. My starting point was to say that I believed April was a big month for the batsmen. So I wrote about the fact that April is the season of trials and disappointments for batsmen.

"A writer may begin at the place where he knows the most things, for knowledge is nothing unless it is used." The crux of the problem for me in writing this article was to figure out how to describe my topic without sounding redundant or repeating myself. This article was all about 'scratching' the ball in the nets and the various methods I had tried and failed to use. After I had explained the meaning of the word 'scratching', I realised that I did not have the full picture of what the term meant. So I wrote the next paragraph "A batsman may start at the place where he knows the most things, for knowledge is nothing unless it is used."

In my next article, I said that players like bowler who used 'scratching' as an excuse for their slow scores. Then I explained that there were two different ways to define a batsman's pace, namely bat speed and bat direction. I also talked about the way a batsman might commence 'scratching', i.e. in search of the wicket. In this article I am only going to talk about the second method, that of starting from scratch.

The reason I use the term 'starting from scratch' to describe the batting practice method I adopted in the nets is because, in fact, all that a batsman needs to do to become a good batsman is to start from scratch. As long as you are not too far off the mark and do not commit the same mistakes that players did in the past, you will score runs easily. All you need to do is to improve your fitness levels and your fitness techniques by starting with the basic exercises and weight training exercises. Once you are fit enough to bat, then you can go on to develop your skills with bat speed and bat direction, so that you can play at a high level without being prone to the 'scratch'.
