Cheers Arthur. Was a great battle! You gave me nothing. I think I was very lucky to get away with the LB early in my innings (in this video). Keep an eye out for part 2. Would love to hear your thoughts on that video as well!
Cricket Mentoring- Online coaching, tips & advice yea very lucky with that lb! but that's middlesex county league for you where the standard is good but umpires are rubbish. and yea i like a good battle. after that rocket of a drive no way you was going to get another half volley! and yea can't wait to see part 2 very interesting stuff.
Haha fair enough. Didn't give me anything near a half volley after that one. Have you seen all the comments about your action looking like Rabada? Some people thought you were him.
Cricket Mentoring- Online coaching, tips & advice yea i saw it. interesting I've never thought i had a run up or action like rabada. but yea I'll take that! I'll comment on what i was thinking as worked through each ball in the next vid. 👍🏾
Absolutely loved the battle between the two of y'all. Great value and very unique to know what's going on in the head of the batsman. The lesson is, even the best are nervous when they first take the crease. Great video 🔥✌️ and great cricket!
The whole level of discourse throughout the afternoon seemed fairly polite. I was expecting a little banter towards the aussie who was talking to himself!
This is INCREDIBLE. As a fellow opener it's priceless hearing this self talk mate. Would love to see this adapted to international cricket one day.. more pls
Cheers mate. Don't know if it'll get to international level as the players need to be incredibly focused and in their bubble. I felt like it kept me focused though so would love to do it again when possible.
I completely agree that this is the best content you've put out so far. If you could do some of this during your on-season at Melville it would be great. It's both reassuring and educational to hear the parity in the thoughts that you go through and my experiences on a Saturday. More more more. p.s. Great cover drives.
If wearing a mic during a Melville game would be considered bad by your teammates, perhaps a video of you batting from the boundary (like the footage in this video) and a talk over from you explaining what was going on, what you were thinking, what you did well and why, would be great. I find the videos where you are batting in the nets are the most entertaining and informative, but games would be even better.
Looks like a very hard and dry pitch. Could begin to crack 2nd innings especially with the 40 degrees heat. Spin could come into play too with the bowlers run off leaving some rough patches outside leg. Definitely a cracking day to play cricket
I used to play cricket at secondary school but haven’t watched or played it in about 6/7 years so not a massive cricket fan but I found this very interesting. Looking forward to part 2! Thank you!
@@cricketmentoring yup, as a young aspiring cricketer im so glad i found this channel and this video.its so nice seeing someone experienced talk their way through an innings and i hope u will do videos like this one in the future.
MKRM27 so sad you have nothing better to do with your life than pull me up on this aha how about you do something with your life and stop being a petty in TH-cam comments from weeks ago weirdo
Hey dude, i really enjoyed this video it was great to watch and see what and how you go about your batting. cant wait for part 2 next week ive been playing cricket for 20yrs i can really relate to how you went about it fantastic work.
This is brilliant! Popped up on my recommended videos and had to click. You're right - when I was younger I would've loved to have seen this! Top stuff.
Really good video.....interesting to watch and listen. I'm an opening batsmen but have been out of the game for 3 years due to illnesses, just back into it now and have hit 20, 21, 18 then 22 last 4 innings but when I'm getting to this comfort stage it's like I have forgot how to push on. These innings have all been have slow and well constructed which is how I bat! So a video like this is really helpful gives a look from another perspective! 👍
Cheers Richie. That's what we're about. Please subscribe if you haven't already and check out some of our other videos which also talk a lot about the mental side of the game
Been hoping you was going to make this sort of video, quality Scolls keep it up would be nice to see a first grade version of this in the Oz season in October.
Great content Scolls! You were as nervous as me during those first couple of hits. I wish back in India, we had a few green wickets. Playing spin the entire day on a dusty track gets pretty frustrating at times.
Cricket Mentoring- Online coaching, tips & advice Yeah it was really interesting to see what you do at the crease. Were any personal milestones reached?😉
Hey Tommy I loved the commentary, I just started playing cricket In Alice and I can’t control my nerves when batting I though I was going mad... but listening to your thought has made me feel a ton better. From one of your old NTIS brothers 🤙🏽
Really cool hearing your thought processes, they don't half sound familiar from my playing days! Mine would have been "there's a gap between those trees, get hold of one one hard and flat and I can put a dent in that BMW!" ;-) :-)
Def out LBW. Head fell across and your front leg followed. Super lucky on that one. Easy to feel flat footed in England - waiting for the ball to come on.
Just like to say been watching your content for a few weeks now. No realy benn coached for at least 8 years played for yorkshire 2nds when 19 20. Havent score a 50 in the league for 2 years due to not be able to control my emotions when batting yesterday I score 56 of 57 6 4s and 2 6s. Just took a few things on board what u have been saying in your flog keep up the good work norts ... treeton cricket club yorkshire premier league south
I’m glad it’s not just me that feels weird wearing spikes to bat in the UK at the moment 😂also it’s reassured me that me getting nervous is totally normal! Great video once again Tom
No worries Bethan! Glad it helped. Getting nervous is 100% normal. The spikes thing was that I don't normally have spikes in the back part of my shoes so that's what felt weird..
Cricket Mentoring- Online coaching, tips & advice what’s your thoughts on was it chapels rule on the first 30 balls to play in the V? Obviously your game plan is if it’s in your zone you go for it no matter what
Great content mate, got a few ex teammates head down to the Middlesex prem from up here in the Yorkshire prem.....great to hear what a batsman is thinking during his innings. Seen as I’m a solid keeper number 9 😂😂
Thats one green wicket! Is that artificial or natural turf??? Also, I love the way you reset yourself after each ball. I am never able to do that while batting or bowling. Need some practice!
I watched this video before a game and i went on to score 28 off 20 not out. It was my best score ever. I'm more of a bowler. Thanks so much Cricket Mentoring
yo, im 16 and now playing 1s / 2s club cricket in kent i was wondering if anything outside off thats not a half volley should i be leaving (well clear of the stumps) , as one of my best shots is the little late guide down behind point which i am confident playing even off balls that may be too full to get back to. Even though i know it is a dangerous shot to play i still try it.
The higher up you get through the levels you'll need to work out your scoring shots as rank bad balls are hard to come by, you will need to be able to pick up runs all around the wicket though.
Would you recommend talking through every ball as you are doing here as the danger is over analysing each bowler and not playing as you would do in a net practice very relaxed ? Btw looking back at the lbw shout what's your opinion on it now . Freezing it at point of impact could you have been in a better position with your front foot pointing more straight ? Keen to hear your thoughts . The video is highly appreciated :)
I'm an 18 Yr old opener and ngl I find it rlly hard to talk to myself like this,even tho I think it. I prefer to stay and bat within my own bubble, whilst communicating with my partner. Was good to see it in action tho, keep up the good work👏🏼👍🏼
Hi @Tom, need your input on the time frame 18:14. what happened and why you missed that ball. I often get LBW in those balls. Could you please tell me what needed to be changed for not to get out. You did not tell anything about that ball how it felt after the delivery from bowlers hand etc.
Hi mate. I missed it because my head fell across to the off side and therefore my leg got across to off stump which meant I had to play around my pad. If my head was 'stiller' at release I would have been able to move at the ball instead of across... Hope that helps mate. We will teach this sort of thing in our online academy once it's launched..
I'm the bowler mate. lots of positive messages 👍🏾.. i wondered why were you talking to yourself soo much. love the vid mate. class 👌🏽👌🏽
Cheers Arthur. Was a great battle! You gave me nothing. I think I was very lucky to get away with the LB early in my innings (in this video). Keep an eye out for part 2. Would love to hear your thoughts on that video as well!

"I wonder if these blokes know I'm talking to myself" 😂😂😂
Is this the batman
"He's good at getting a single off the last ball." Comedy gold... If it were me it would have not been so polite.
Haha tried to be polite about it!
Runs are runs
The whole level of discourse throughout the afternoon seemed fairly polite. I was expecting a little banter towards the aussie who was talking to himself!

Cheers mate. Don't know if it'll get to international level as the players need to be incredibly focused and in their bubble. I felt like it kept me focused though so would love to do it again when possible.
Nice vid mate! That first bowlers action looks very similar to Rabada
Fergus Martin so true mate
Yeah you're right. Very observant. He was a good bowler!
Run up looks similar to Rabada But his action is like Ngidi
I was watching the whole time thinking it was Rabada
I Thought That It Was Rabada That He First Faced 😂
compared to me when batting "yer i'll smack this bloke to the carpark" and then your off stump's gone flying hahahahahahah
Haha you might need to change what you say to yourself?
Cricket Mentoring- Online coaching, tips & advice yer I reckon now I’ve watched this video 👍🏼
Nothing wrong with that mate 😂
Sounds like me
That is literally me when I bat

We Need More Videos Like This... Excellent Initiative Taken Scolls!
Thanks mate! Hope to do it more in the future
7:20 Lol shoutout to that fielder who flicks the ball up
Zadkovich Raj jeez that was cleeean
Looks like a very hard and dry pitch. Could begin to crack 2nd innings especially with the 40 degrees heat. Spin could come into play too with the bowlers run off leaving some rough patches outside leg. Definitely a cracking day to play cricket
It was dry undernneath. Wasn't quite 40 degrees though so it held together ok..
I used to play cricket at secondary school but haven’t watched or played it in about 6/7 years so not a massive cricket fan but I found this very interesting. Looking forward to part 2! Thank you!
Cheers Daniel. Glad you enjoyed it mate! Part 2 is already published (if you haven't seen it, the link is in the description of this video).
By far the best bit of content you have made
Cheers Charlie. I thought people would enjoy it. Helped that the straight boundaries were really short so could capture a good angle
@@cricketmentoring yup, as a young aspiring cricketer im so glad i found this channel and this video.its so nice seeing someone experienced talk their way through an innings and i hope u will do videos like this one in the future.

Thanks Peter. Appreciate your comment and support :)

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it. Please pass it on to others who you think would enjoy it or benefit from it...
Great content mate. I'm constantly talking to myself out in the middle pumping my self. Can't wait to watch part 2.
Love the video quality and sound quality. Good job
Thanks mate! Appreciate your feedback and comment
You are sir a legend..
Calm as a monk ! Really appreciate you putting in so much of effort to get such content out
Really good video.....interesting to watch and listen.

This is very helpful for a person that struggles a bit at batting like myself!
Do this every time u bat
I'd love to mate but don't think I can
Do It Whenever You Get The Chance Mate! We'll Be Waiting...
Lil Jimmy I’m your first sub
I use to talk to myself the exact same way. Always good to keep your head focused and reevaluating every delivery to stay on task.
Great video Scolls, very insightful and helpful 🙌🙌
Cheers legend! Glad it helped
I was waiting for the sportsbet jokes. May as well be playing with a selfie stick haha
Haha!
glad u got to play with them again...i wish the best for u tom!! Stay positive
Thanks mate. Appreciate it
Nice. Like how you focus on each delivery class mate. Also like how you know your scoring areas from early an also asses the game
Enjoyed watching that, something completely different teaching the mental aspect of batting and not just the technical

Great content Scolls! You were as nervous as me during those first couple of hits. I wish back in India, we had a few green wickets. Playing spin the entire day on a dusty track gets pretty frustrating at times.
Thanks mate. Yeah I bet you'd like something different every now and again.
Try to do this as much as possible when you play in aus mate
He was talking to him self because for us
I guess it's still a good vid
This is what I have been waiting for Scolls!
Great to hear. Hope you enjoyed it. More to come next week
Lovely mate, great initiative taken and loved your batting
Thanks mate. Appreciate it
Get more of this going as as soon as possible. Love it
Thanks mate. Would love to do it more regularly but hard in highly competitive cricket
Quality mate real interesting to see what goes on with you in your innings
Cheers mate! Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it
I felt like I was the one in the middle after watching this. Great content bud! Keep it up, very informative 👌
Loved this video! I ended up being nervous for you, even though you’re way too good for the league😂
Thanks mate. Appreciate it. Don't know about that but I'm glad for the videos sake that I was able to bat for a little while
Cricket Mentoring- Online coaching, tips & advice Yeah it was really interesting to see what you do at the crease. Were any personal milestones reached?😉
way to good for the league ! He was plumb in front and nicked one through the slips. LMAO
Duncan Foster he was also a pro cricketer, which suggests he’s too good for a league which isn’t even the prem
Yeah quality, could only imagine you getting out first ball after a new video idea😂😂
really enjoyed it. The real experience out there in the centre.
Great to see this especially your first ball great to see I’m not the only relieved when I survive the first over😂
Pls do this all the time mate this helps alot. It helps me with my thinking process an I just love this type of videos
Hey Tommy I loved the commentary, I just started playing cricket In Alice and I can’t control my nerves when batting I though I was going mad... but listening to your thought has made me feel a ton better.
From one of your old NTIS brothers 🤙🏽
this angle and with the mic is incredible please keep doing
Cheers Pete. Glad you enjoy it!
great stuff Scollzy ... this is the best content by far
Really cool hearing your thought processes, they don't half sound familiar from my playing days!
Mine would have been "there's a gap between those trees, get hold of one one hard and flat and I can put a dent in that BMW!" ;-) :-)
Haha very good! Thanks for your comment mate
Def out LBW. Head fell across and your front leg followed. Super lucky on that one. Easy to feel flat footed in England - waiting for the ball to come on.
Really is a sensible batsman....Having proper shot selection
Fantastic video, can't wait to see if I can find part two!
Great vid! Can’t wait for the season to start!
Thanks mate. Where do you play?

Awesome content! Most of your content is at a very high standard but this is fascinating! Keen for more
Thanks mate! Appreciate it
Very interesting.....thanks for sharing.
I can't believe the outfield looked so dry.
Great video. Lots of effort put into this.

By Far Mate
I love the bloke in the background watching and his sun smart- ness... No hat and shirt on, then takes shirt off and puts a hat on! hahaha
Haha he loves it! Doesn't miss when the sun is out
I have become a great fan of your batting
Thank you brother! Not perfect but gets the job done.....sometimes haha
This is awsome. Need more vids like this.
Thanks mate. Stay tuned for part 2
Would be awsome if you could do some in Aus in 1's. The quality of cricketers and batsmen would be really good to watch.
Quality bit of content mate. First time new to the channel but definatly a sub deserved.
Thanks mate!! Appreciate it 👊🏻
7:14 Max Volume
Great video! Would love to see more of this
Thanks mate. Hope to do more in the future
Love local stuff like this. Sends chills down my spine
Good to see how you switch off at the non strikers end, also how you never got frustrated when your partner kept pinching the strike.
This video has helped me a lot because i strugle
The action of bowler bowling from cameraman's end is like Kagiso Rabada
Great content mate, got a few ex teammates head down to the Middlesex prem from up here in the Yorkshire prem.....great to hear what a batsman is thinking during his innings. Seen as I’m a solid keeper number 9 😂😂
Thanks mate. Who are your ex-teammates playing for do you know?
Cricket Mentoring- Online coaching, tips & advice brondesbury cc first team mate. Keep up the good work
Looking good with the gray nics gear
Thanks mate. Was a gun stick!
Thanks I’m not the most confident batter an this has helped me know where to place my feet and when to leave
Thats one green wicket! Is that artificial or natural turf???
Also, I love the way you reset yourself after each ball. I am never able to do that while batting or bowling. Need some practice!
''I wonder if these blokes know I'm talkin to myself'' 9:27 hahhah
The First Bowler's Run Up is like Rabada but action like Ngidi
Rabada seems to be a common observation
And pace like Venkatesh prasad
Big lbw candidate though
This is awesome
Thanks Bill! Appreciate your support mate. Did you see part 2 & 3? Links are in the description
More of this!
Hope to do more soon. Part two plus bowling still to come
Quality insight - loved it!
I watched this video before a game and i went on to score 28 off 20 not out. It was my best score ever. I'm more of a bowler. Thanks so much Cricket Mentoring
miss playing cricket haven't played for 2 years 17 yrs straight

Haha are you referring to shinning the ball?
This was great gonna see what happens in part 2 hopefully no adventures into hospitality. ;)
Haha what do you mean mate?
Really enjoyed it, good to hear other people say random stuff to themselves aswell 😄
Thanks mate. Wouldn't normally talk aloud to myself as much haha
7:14 R.I.P. ears
david harrison 😂
Lol
Same lol😂
Love this,awesome batting technique
Great videos Scolls. What where the biggest differences between playing over here (UK) compared to back home in Perth?
