Steve Waugh was very often back when he should have been forward and he made 10,000 test runs...so there is hope for you yet.Learning one proper front-foot shot. For some reason, I instinctively go back to every delivery.

Pfftt..you mean I can only be as good as Steve Waugh?Ranji was another who felt that one lost sight of the ball, albeit a split nano-sec, on some front foot shots. Enjoyed the back strokes.
So there, you could either become a Ranji or a SWaugh, tho not nec in Test Cricket
If theres ever a North American meet-up, I'm going to have to have to remember to york you into oblivion.No, I don't. I do have a slog, but its a backfoot slog.
Very true. But I do that against spin, pace, short balls, full balls, length balls, etc. It makes no difference and its really weird. Unless I decide before the ball is delivered to go on the front foot - I just seem to back to give myself enough time to play it. Mind you, I never actually have enough time, but that's what I try.
Well Pidgeon, you have been retired for a year now.I'd like to get back to consistently landing it short of a length just outside off and being able to move it both ways off the deck...but I think age is against me, as is having the will.
I'd also like to watch the ball more closely when I bat, and not just as it cannons into my middle stump.
Making the most of my left-arm while keeping my head still.
I'm a bit the opposite of you mate.I want to get better at not getting bored and getting out. I have no patience, my high score was 77 last season when I trod on my own stumps for no other reason than I was bored with the pitch.
