Weekend win
Opening the batting against top of the league chasing a large total of 224 was quite intimidating, but I took it as an opportunity to focus on being more aware of self 1, where in a high pressured situation there was more opportunity for self 1 to influence my batting. A slow start personally to good bowling had me having to really focus on nailing my routine and persevering through plenty of chat and doubts from self 1 which a couple of weeks previously would have caused me to force a shot that wasn’t there and give it away. So very happy from that point as my strike rate has always been one of my largest negative distractions when batting and pushing through a tough time was great.
After I felt more comfortable at the crease I started nailing the ball at fielders, which on a different day could have caused my 31 off 59 to be a run-a-ball 60. Still I was happy I reset and stuck to routine rather than getting frustrated.
Got out by not resetting for my first ball after drinks and slightly forcing a shot to a good ball and getting out in a slightly unlucky way. Felt pretty frustrated afterwords after getting out in an innings that could have taken my side into a position to win the game, leaving the pitch with far fewer runs than I thought I could have been on at that point and a scorecard that didn’t reflect how good I felt in the middle. However so many positives and increased awareness of more subtle self 1 distractions which I have ignored or pretended weren’t there in previous innings.
Overall happy with my takeaways from the game and improving my trust in self 2 to bat, after anchoring to my routine more because of being more aware of self 1.
