Just the cool

We've all been there.

That moment when you have prepared for everything, and you keep on thinking so many things even when you are ready.

People see me as a bit of a cool man. Which is a bit odd because clearly I am the contrary. To calm myself down on so many different occasion, ia always rely on one thing.

Do what I do best.

Or just do whatever it is that makes you feels comfortable.

Take an instance when I play cricket. Because I play down the order, its always apparent that I will be batting when the team is in trouble.

Slowly, when the wicket down, I picked up my gloves and my bat, and make way to the middle to replace the other guy.

When I first played cricket, I had no doubts in my mind. Just hit whatever balls that comes my way. As I grow older, I learn to be a bit sensible. Trying to get assurance that I'm building the right basic and that I am in control.

Which is why I like to play forward defence when I come in.

Naturally, I don't like playing with front foot. I always tend to find the back foot is easier to control and timed. Being that, I keep on pushing myself to play that perfect front foot defensive shot every time I come in.

I don't know why.

3 out of 4 times I nicked the ball, both not out, the keeper didn't catch it, it was risky, yet I keep on doing it.

Its as if its just my ritual, like I said to myself "okay that shot is over and done with, let's get on playing naturally".

It takes pressure off, although, in a silly way. Way that I dot like, but keeps on doing it because it felt good.

The way, I keep my cool.
