- We played against Trowbridge Cricket Club, in the West of England Premier League (Wiltshire). This was a really tough match and one that I would prefer not to post. Probably my worst innings on the channel.

Think you gotta to remember that sweep shot mate against the spinner. You worked on it in India, playing it well. Doesn’t have to be full blooded. Just rotate with it. Especially if he’s pitching it 4/5th stump
not the best thing to do when your not in form
@@stephangermishuizen6760yeh but you’ve got to think
of what you’ve been working on and have confidence that you’ve spent time working on it and it will come off
sweeping a left arm orthodox when you're out of form isnt the best idea
Generally don’t like to give advice on these channels, but as someone who has been there and felt like everything was going against them for an extended period when trying to bat week to week, I can empathise with your current situation.
I’m a fairly similar stature to you (albeit more portly these days), but one thing that really got me going early (every batsman’s most vulnerable time) was to get my feet moving before the ball was bowled. I take guard ahead of where I intend to stand before the bowler begins their runup, and then take step back as the bowler begins their runup. It is a type of trigger movement, but its sole intention is to get the feet moving to enable any head movement towards the ball.
This will help in getting towards those offside balls a little better as your feet don’t feel like lead as they can for a taller batsman.
One other piece of advice for training. When you hit the nets next, pick 3 areas you want to hit the ball (generally where gaps will be in the field 90% of the time) and focus on getting your head to the ball and using your hands/wrists to manipulate the ball into these zones. At the moment, it’s easy to tell you’re reacting to the balls bowled to you without a plan for how to get off strike. This is especially important against the spinners.
Don’t mind if you take or leave the advice, but if you’d like to talk more about it, more than happy to help as I do know what you’re going through. It’ll pass, and you very likely will fail some more before it gets better.
good advice but bro ain't even see it 😂
amazing advice, batting is all about having confidence in your own ability and batting length rather than losing your cool
What a great moment from Jeremy around 8 mins - love that from the captain
Shame it went in one ear and straight out the other.
I love how authentic this is, really brought back memories of my own games in the past haha. It seems so easy from the outside looking in, but it's incredible the role that the mind plays in cricket.
Gareth, don't feel too bad, take heart that it was the best start you've had to an innings at Marshfield. You came in with intent and played with positivity. Even the dot balls had more intention behind them. After that it's clear you struggled with pace off the ball, it meant you had to force the issue from a place of low confidence. But go back and watch the first 10 minutes of your innings, it looked to me like you turned the corner. Just my two cents, might be wrong, just how it looked to me. I'd see it as a small victory on your way back to form because your starts have been the issue lately.
And Jeremy's advice was really good, he's clearly a man who knows the game very well. I'd turn to him more over the next few weeks, the way he approaches his cricket is just what you need right now. The runs will come.
This video was actually a must watch!
- your intent from the start was really good
- like others pointed, dot balls had more confidence in them trying to look for runs and rotate the strike
- its the mindset at the end of the day and you went in with a mindset to score
- players who face 40-50 balls, now need to anchor and play all the way
- your captain is amazing who provided support and guidance
- some pointed the sweep which you worked on in India, and tons of coaches out here lol personally when the ball is staying low, sweep gets risky and so does going on backfoot so on pitches like these, I always play front foot
- every game is a learning curve, and we all go through these kind of patches, Its great to see your team mates being supportive. We have watched you play amazing innings, and I am sure Gareth, the runs are around the corner, continue to be positive!
Thank you for this comment. Really constructive feedback and support. Appreciate it 🙏
Keep your head Gareth. Remember the always light at the end of the darkest of tunnels .And remember nobody can never ever make the right decisions in life 100% of the time.❤
Happens to the best of us Gareth! Also brilliant to see the skipper supporting you & guiding you to play on the front foot when the spinner was at his best against you. Great vid.
Shayan 🔥
this video is actually really interesting to watch. obviously this is all speculation from a random on yt but the way you played in the first 10 or so balls was like your head was completely clear and you had great intent. then all of a sudden you faced a few dots in a row and it feels like you got in your own head. your shots felt more desperate or however you'd describe it, like you lost trust in your own game. basically as you described it at the end.
important to remember with that though is that it means you're not actually far off where you need to be. you showed yourself you can bat beautifully even in this game. you've probably already had another match by now but you're actually so close to having a big innings i reckon if you can just get your head clear. it certainly wasn't your best innings overall but at least from my perspective it seems mostly mental and it's not a long way you have to go to be clicking and scoring bulk runs.
keep it up bro! you're gonna smash it soon ✊
This comment is "nail on the head"! Thanks for the encouragement too 🙏
Don’t worry Gareth, as someone who plays for the Hampshire pathway this is a completely normal situation. That was one heck of a spell by the spinner. All you can do now is keep positive, you batted well to steady the innings and stop the flow of wickets. Take all the positives out of that game (e.g that intent from the start was world class). Keep your head up mate and go again next week.
Your the man Gareth! I found myself in a very similar sitaution at the very start of the Aussie summer in October 2023. Opened the batting, hit the first 2 balls of the innings for 2x gloriously played cover drive 4's and then struggled hard. About 11 overs later, dismissed for 15. I thought cricket was a game I loved like no other (just like you love it), which turned to hate very quickly. 7 days later, came out to open the batting and go again. Started with 12 dot balls but guess what, finished with 103 not out off 84 balls 😅 21x 4's and 0x Sixes 😂
Definitely better than his 6 off 20 that came 7 days later.
Love your content bro, but believe its time that you have a discussion with your skip and ask to be move down to 2nd to gain some form.
Under 15 minutes, not a good game for Gareth. Over 15 minutes, decent game for Gareth. Around or over 20 minutes, “We’re on here!”
So true 🤣🤣🤣
Hey mate, sorry that you felt so under pressure. Good old left arm orthodox spin plus misreading the pitch a little bit, then feeling under pressure to score quickly, it all culminated in you losing your head a bit while wickets were falling and maybe, feeling like you were the cause. Sucks when you’re out there, but I know you can work your way past it. Might sound weird, but even the way you edited the dot balls together where they run so fast, kind of reflects the panic a bit. The keeper was hitting all the right buttons with the chat too, bet that made it worse.
Remember your advice from a few weeks ago, you’ll get it together. It might help you to just inhabit the crease, forget about the runs, and concentrate on just playing the ball coming at you.
This was a great video anyway, you’re letting us see inside and it’s very compelling viewing. Good luck next match mate!
Been a fan for a while, my support for you will never diminish. Keep pushing Gareth!
Good to see you bat with intent at the start. That spinner was just bowling stump to stump or outside off with a packed off side field. Very unlucky for you not to find the gaps when you played an attacking shot. But with all the practice you did in India on the sweep I would definitely love to see you backing yourself to hit the sweep hard every time, would love to see it more often.
You could say attacking, but all his matches he's doing the same. Mistiming (Mainly straight to point).
Don't overthink it when you are out there - the best way to get out of a spell of poor form is to play out of it. Instead of getting anxious about not scoring quickly, tough it out and the runs will come. I think you're getting so annoyed with yourself that you are over-thinking it. In this situation where the team are struggling and wickets falling, you have the perfect excuse to anchor the innings and take your time, instead of fretting about where the next run is coming from. Time at the crease is what you need. I opened for 35 years for my teams and that's what I always did when my form wasn't great - bat your way out of it.
Don't worry, it wasn't that bad. It was a dam sight better than some you have had this year. Some more Indian coaching on how to play spin might be required though
Man that pitch was keeping so low, for the love of god come forward to the ball. You've been welded to the crease the last few innings.
Bad form happens Gareth. Keep plugging away and it will turn around. I made three ducks in a row this past Aussie season, including a diamond duck. I filmed the games too, so they are not going to be the proudest moments on my channel. But I look forward to the looming cricket season here to try and turn it around, take some wickets and hit some runs. Love your channel and wish you the best for the remainder of your season.
Jeremy's advice is what you need to think about. The backfoot play needs a lot of work. Seems like every backfoot shot is some sort of an improvised cross-bat hack.
Also release shots against spin. The innings started off okay but Gareth needs a way to get off strike more consistently.
Bro you trained your sweep back in India, you worked on it so hard, use that. Sweep the spinners next time you get stuck. Happy Cricketing, Gareth. - From India with love !
not the best shot to play when your not in form
Just keep working hard Gareth, hope you get some runs in the next few weeks. Love the channel. We are here through the highs and the lows.
Thanks Japie! Appreciate your support. 💪
Keep your chin up!
As an opener myself, the way I would suggest to fight this, is change where you start facing up. A metre outside the crease, or deep in it and take a big step forward!
Make the opponent change :)
I’m aware there’s a lot of coaches in UA-cam comments but even so - You have to be more decisive about either coming down the pitch, or going right back, against the slow bowlers - not with a view to hitting boundaries, but just to help you find those singles that will reduce the pressure, and also make them change their lines and lengths.
Hey Gareth, sorry I left quite a harsh comment on your last video. Not necessarily to slate you but more as constructive criticism. I was actually informed the level you’re at now is lower than Woodhall Spa which I wasn’t aware of. I hope things pick up for you soon mate, you definitely showed more intent at the start and then got in your own head again. As mentioned in my last comment, spend some time in the nets, try and rotate as much as you can and work on your leg side. It’ll come!
3:17 "respect him, he goes to run 2 and asks "can you"
Just so you know gareth, ive implemented this strat of yours into my own gameplay. Done wonders.
Bit more shot variation & one solid innings can turn the confidence and you’ll be golden. Keep the faith!
Great to see you coming out and not dotting away/ taking the initiative. Head up ❤
Love the content! Appreciate the mental and emotional rawness of the game. This is the only cricket channel worth watching for me. 👍
I'm an X A grade opener, my advice is if you are not picking up the ball too well it's rather a concentration thing or a confidence thing.
I used to get outside a tap a golf ball backwards & forwards.
Seems silly, but Batting is mostly hand eye coordination.
Drill a small hole in a golf ball, find somewhere, maybe a clothesline and hang it knee height grab a wicket and tap it back and forth as much as you can in your spare time.
See if it helps.
5 minutes ago is diabolical
Enjoying the content so far
Hey Gareth,
I just want to say keep your head up and fight those demons.
Stop worrying about the content for us, and worry about you bud. If it means your 20(100) balls were all still gonna watch.
I feel you're trying to force runs out of yourself when it should just come naturally because you're a bloody good bat mate.
Back yourself and believe dude, we all do.
Do whatever you got to do to get your head right buddy.
I've been through it this year too.
All the best G-dog 🙌❤️🏏
look on the positive side that was great start from you Gareth just need to build and work on it we all know you will Gareth❤
Don’t get too down Gareth, just believe in yourself, your form will come, we all have patches where we are out of the runs but if you keep playing, you’ll eventually find your form, I remember one game I played, I went for 0-50 and got a duck the next game I got a 50 and took a 3fer. Keep going
Mate, I got the yips bowling a couple of seasons ago. Couldn't stop bowling wides. Was running in in fear....no fun. Thought I'd have to give it up and stick to commentating. Guess what...it went away....no reason why. Did teach me one thing though. However much I love it 24/7, every game ends and another is a new beginning. Difficult to teach though. Something to discover.
Rough Game, really strong bowlers, and you mentally toughed it out, super brave to admit you faced those demons, and the whole team struggled and that isn't all on you. Stay Strong!
"Don't want to risk getting runout because you're having a ropey 5 overs."
Gets out next ball... 🤦♂️🤣
He said we’re having not you’re having
The cricketest cricket that ever cricketed 🤣
He was right, his advice to Gareth was spot on.
In fairness, nobody was run out.
Batting is 90% above the ears Gareth. Positive energy will go a long way
He prefers to make excuses than have success.
Gareth, You Should come and play for Woorinen Cricket club in Australia.
I know it’s easier said than done Gareth, but try focus on the positives from a bad day for the team. You came out positive and made a fast start with some nice shots. Nobody in the Marshfield batting lineup got going, so it seems it wasn’t just you struggling.
I look forward to the next video and a big score 🙌
Gareth: "I'd prefer you to NOT watch this MATCH!"
Subs: "Immediately watches match"
All good Gareth, We all have those days just keep rolling.
You started off really well and that spinner got into your head. My advice: go down into the 2nds (volunteer, don't wait to be dropped) and get your confidence back. We've all been there - at least I have - and all you need is to get some runs and feel the ball hitting the middle of your bat. The standard of play of the opposition is not quite so relevant as getting some time in the middle, getting some runs and getting your confidence back.
Good luck.
No probs Garreth, these things happen in cricket. Ricky Ponting says batting is 90% mental. You will come back stronger. Chin up and keep fighting!
Hi there Gareth, hope you are all good I just want to say that we will support you through the dark and bright times all the time and yes this was a very tough match but it is always a good thing to reflect of what has happened and just move on with the learnings that have been gathered both the positives and the negatives. I will always watch your videos no matter what and Have a good day!
Gareth, we all go through rough patches in our season, once you conquer one game your in, keep going👊🏻
Everyone’s different with technique and you ultimately have to do what feels right for you.
Personally I feel your backlift is too low and too late, which I feel is highlighted when you aren’t quite seeing it right.
When the balls coming onto the bat you tend to find it easier or when you have the time to lift the bat up before playing a shot to a slower bowler.
Waiting with the bat up a bit higher, cuts down the amount of pressure movement needed before playing your shot. It should then help you get to the ball that bit earlier and where your shots are being hit hard but going straight down into the ground and struggling to beat the infield, it will kiss off the surface and beat the infield easier.
It should also ease the tensing and allow you to focus on what you do well when in form which is play cleanly through the line. I think part of the tensing and playing across line is because you feel you are late on the shot and trying to catch up/hit harder.
Love watching the content though!
Thanks for telling me not to watch because now i will definitely watch it😂
Proper cricket ground Trowbridge!
Keep at it mate, these things come full circle
Gareth Don’t worry. I think you are doing amazing. We all have poor starts to the season but keep fighting. Think about the centuries you have got before and reflect on what you did and use it. I think that innings was good at times. You deserve to get a century remember that.
Gareth, never forget that youre on that team for a reason. Keep your head high and dont give in.
Keep going mate, have some conviction with your sweep, get that front leg outside off and have a go at it, these spinners are the ones bogging you down. You've trained it hard in india. Alternatively, trying to time one over the infield (not slog, just clearing) a couple of times can help spread the field for you to then pick up some easy singles later on. Rough patch, but we're all supporting you.
I’ve felt on this new team that a lot of the batter around Gareth aren’t as keen on taking quick singles. Which in the past has been Gareth’s bread and butter.
I think a big part of the head games being saved for Gareth is trying to fit his style in to the batting lineup the best he can, and that will take time
Lol
Don't lose your head Gareth.The best players in the world have bad spells.Keep going and I am sure you will come back into form soon.Keep going Gareth
Keep on fighting Gareth, I came across your Chanel in a time of hurt and uncertainty fighting demons myself runs will come wepl is a very different level of cricket keep going sir ❤️
We all go through rough times through out our lives it’s the way we go actively go forward that counts
So true Greg. Thanks for the encouraging comment 🙏
Love your content mate, we can see your struggle, but you are still sharing your experience with the world, this shows tenacity. Cricket is the worst sport for mental health! One mistake batting and you're done. Don't over think things and start making changes, we have all been there trying to tweak away our last dismissal. The emotion you let us see shows your love of cricket. Remember form is temporary, class is permanent but never forget why you love the game!
I would hope nobody here would tear you apart, certainly the subscribers are here because they enjoy the content, good or bad. I can only imagine the added pressure that comes with your performances on the pitch also being your livelihood, it's certainly something I'm sure a lot of your opponents and team-mates are not even thinking about.
I thought what Jeremy said to you was really important so thank you for keeping that in, and good on him for taking the time to be so constructive and helpful.
Keep at it, your fans here will be behind you.
Thanks Chris. Really appreciate this comment! It's all part of the story and the lows only make the highs all the more sweeter.. Hope all is well your side 🙏
You stuck at it... didn't give it away...u were a bit unlucky when you did get a leading edge...I think a few runs are nearby for you.keep working hard...
His performances really have no bearing on his livelihood as I'm sure people will watch him whether he's playing Premier League or in the 2s/3s, so there really should be no pressure at all. It's just a game for everyone to enjoy at the end of the day.
@@canyoucricket hey Gareth. I’ve been exactly where you are. My advice, get 2 hours with a coach or a mate in a net and just get them to give you throw downs. Just try and sweep every ball, every single one whatever the length. Slog sweeps lap sweeps, square sweeps, etc. it will just then start coming naturally in the game. The sweep can be you pressure release shot for ones, but also a boundary shot.
Seems like the spinner had a few of the batters in a spin mate so don't worry. Also, do you think the bounce was consistent? Looked very up and down at the pitches. Look at the positives, you were able to spend some time out in the middle and made a good start. Its not easy when wickets start falling at the other end.
A good innings is just round the corner Gareth we know you can play some good cricket always enjoy the content from a viewer from New Zealand.
Simple brother - come back stronger next time and go on the offensive - the only way to get out of a rut is to put pressure on the opposition from ball 1 - speak to your skipper about all out attack and how he does it - you’ll be fine brother - you’re a class player, just back yourself and don’t lose confidence in the middle - keep telling yourself that you won’t get out to anyone! Best of luck Gareth bro!!
5:40 that was an absolute seed ❤🔥
Keep going bud, just try and relax and don't let content pressurise you. good times and big scores are always just round the corner. Stay positive and bat on instinct.
Head up mate,we all have confidence in you ,you just need to get that yourself and you will.
Keep Going mate , Your content is fantastic and its an accurate reflection of the amazing game that we all love to play , Sometimes we feel on top of the world with the bat and the next week can be completely different, Been there myself running a cricket brand where it can get difficult to enjoy cricket a times , but remind yourself of your quality and your ability , and at the end of the day enjoy it with your mates and have beer in the clubhouse , all the best jon
Don't feel bad brother thats the beauty of cricket one minute up next minute down you have a lot like plenty of good innings to be enough confident dont be emotional or sad you will comeback harder you may wanna changer your number be a top order batsman don't worry proceed to make a great comeback in the next one i believe in you ❤
Keep head up mate, you’re 4th in the league and do bits for the team. All of you have parts to play, another day you other teammates catches get dropped and you anchor an end whilst others score some runs.
Keep going mate love the vids!!!!
Keep pushing💪🏾 Better will come! The fear of losing your wicket is what cramps us most of the time🙌🏾
Your strokes have improved significantly
you watching a differant video?
Tough innings to watch mate. Put the cut away against the left armer. You are playing against the angle, and its not the right shot. There is nothing wrong with going back, but do it to turn the ball down leg or else play it straighter and don't force it, or as your skipper told you, ~6-12 inch dance out of the crease to throw him off his length. That type of bowler wants to hurry you, and make you feel pressure when there is none - do the Steve Smith and walk away, refocus in, and then play it on your time. Wait for him to tire of patient bowling searching for a wicket (which he did a few times). Set batsmen really needs to absorb bowling like that. Keep at it, and stay patient.

Just one game big dog, don't let it beat you up! Back at it and onto the next 👍
To be fair, he was bowling a great, consistent line and being patient. Not much you could do other than to play a risky shot/get off strike.
Is this ground located in England ?
Head up Gareth, remember you're the same person who's smashed several hundreds on the channel! Always just 1 innings away from a massive score, remember form is temporary but class is permanent!
Keep that head of yours up boyo. You had a great start just got bogged down and then overthinking came into it. You're an excellent batsmen just keep at it the runs will flow.
Just imagine the joy and satisfaction you'll get when you hit some form Gareth. This will be a great video to have to look back on.
It's definitely easier said than done, but don't over hit the ball when in you are in a bad spot. Just try and return to your usual ball by ball routine.
I've got a game with my club's senior team later!!!! :D
Keep going mate! Tough game but it will turn around for you 😊
Don’t worry gareth you’ll come into form when it matters most, this is just a hiccup that you’ll surpass soon
Hi Gareth, I played with a Hugh Jackson at Bourne years ago just wondered if it’s the same one?
Yes the one and the same 👍
If you don’t mind tell him JJ says hello.
👍👍👍
Got to give credit to the opposition too. No else on your side was scoring freely and as your first partner said lots of time. Some times occupation is as good as scoring heavily. It does put pressure on other but so does continuously losing witckets. As the skip said keep playing in the v, and as one of your viewer said remember your swipe shot.
You had a lesson with a young Aussie coach a little while back. How much of his excellent advice are you working on and applying to your game?
Keep ya head up mate your form and the runs will return 👍
Unlucky gareth, you will surely get your form back again! We all have one of these days.
Hey Gareth, today I left the ball and it hit off stump, it didn't swing or jag in off the pitch, it just went straight 😅, we just have to go again next time
Cricket is a simple game Gareth, the team who scores more runs, wins. If your mindset will be too score runs you will automatically get into good positions, when we think of just surviving we forget to watch the ball carefully, get back to basics. Watch the ball, see the gaps in the field and back your instincts. When we are batting well, our mind is always at the bowler’s end and when we are struggling all we think about is the end from we are standing and how bad things are and how we are just hitting shots straight to fielders. Get into the frame of kind of scoring runs, and avoid overthinking.
Jeremy is class! Even despite a low score
I really really feel for you. You’ll be back to your best soon
4:59 What a shot that is. Deary me.
Glorious stroke.
Take all negative comments as a form of jealousy!! Its just surface level and unfortunately it clear its getting to you .dont over think it bud ,just have fun and keep it simple ! Much love from a fellow saffa !
need some sunday or midweek friendlies to get you back into it i reckon
Hey man, you scored 19, kept your end up for three partnerships, highest scorer was 20…in my book that’s none too shabby. Unresolved expectations are the source of most conflicts (internal and external)
Just play your game and get your self in don’t think of the pressure love the content keep it up
Gareth, don’t come out of the cut shot too early!
Runs there all day.
Bloke didn’t even bowl that well, sure dot up when he finds his length, but you let him bowl to you far too much!
head up gareth, the big innings is coming
‘Form is temporary, but class is permanent’
Things happen, and will happen again. The top Pro players have form slumps, and battle mental demons, even with all their experience.
The spinner darting the ball in. That exposed a weakness in your technique, be it your physical or mental set up. Some times it's as simple as changing guard, or opening up your stance a little for that situation. As for the mental demons, that's a different story. That's just trusting yourself, and having good team mates to talk it through with you after the game, to let you know they have your back, as it's a team. You're not letting them down, you're just in a tough spot. They, and you know, you'll bounce back, and, you'll have their back when they are in the same situation. That's the beauty of a Team game.
What worries you about the spinner firing the ball in like that? What can you do to address it? Then make a plan, and work on it. You've done this before, and can do it again. Being challenged can seem disheartening, embarrassing even, but it's the Best part of the journey when the day comes that you're looking back at it all.
