00:00All coaches tell the batsman to keep his eyes firmly on the ball, even if you don't intend

00:06to play the ball, even if you intend to leave it, yet keep your eyes on the ball.

00:10In fact, if you look at good batsmen, they watch the ball even till the moment it goes

00:15to the keeper.

00:16They would leave the ball and then turn a little back and look at the ball hitting the

00:20wicketkeeper's gloves.

00:21When you are watching the ball, then you get enough time to play the ball.

00:25The ball slows down for you and he has enough time to adjust himself, give himself room

00:30and play the shot.

00:31Frame after frame, he is able to look at it.

00:33That is observation.

00:34Now the thing cannot beat you, now you can see the movement, but even to watch the ball

00:39and be a master player, you need stillness of the mind.

00:42If your mind is hurried or if you have told yourself that you need to whack the ball over

00:47the baller's head or if you are under pressure to somehow save the match, then you can't

00:52watch the ball.

00:53Be occupied with yourself.

00:54To watch, you must be still with him.
