Walk up with confidence and look toward the bowler to give the impression that you’re in charge. A strong mental game is the first step of batting. Set yourself up for success by getting rest and having a good meal before the match. Stand in front of the wickets with your knees slightly bent, your feet shoulder-width apart, and your non-dominant shoulder facing the bowler. Turn your head toward the bowler, bend slightly forward from your hips, and keep your torso straight.  Put your weight on the balls of your feet so you can quickly react to the ball. Keep your shoulders straight, and don’t let them drop as you swing. For a fast bowler, you might want to open your stance a bit by turning your body slightly toward the bowler. This can give you a clearer view of the ball. with a soft grip. Grip the bat with your non-dominant hand positioned near the top of the handle. Your dominant hand should be closer to the paddle, and your hands should be fairly close together.  Don’t keep your grip strong or rigid, as if you wanted to launch the ball with power. Keep your hands soft and be ready to open them up to make a quick defensive swing. When facing a tough, fast bowler, hitting the boundary is less of a priority than making defensive contact and hitting the gaps. Don’t be afraid of the ball. If you keep your eyes on the ball, anticipate its trajectory, and stay ready to react, you're less likely to get hit. Watch the line and length of the bowler’s delivery, and your instincts will help you decide which shot to play. It takes practice but, with experience, you’ll learn which deliveries you can make strong contact with, which require a defensive swing, and which aren’t playable.
Summary: Show the bowler that you’re not afraid of speed. Keep your stance comfortable and relaxed. Hold the bat Keep your head still and watch the ball at all times.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It’s important to get educated, if you aren’t already, about the facts of genital herpes. This will help you prepare to answer any questions your partner may have about herpes as well as any questions you may have about the virus.  Genital herpes is a common infection that is usually transmitted through sexual contact, or direct contact with an infected blister or sore. It can also be caused by HSV-1, the virus that causes cold sores on your lips and face, through oral or genital contact. The virus can be transmitted when no symptoms are present on the person you had sexual contact with, and often goes undetected and undiagnosed. In fact, about 80% of the US population already has HSV-1 and got it sometime during their childhood from being kissed by a parent, friend, or relative. Genital herpes is very treatable, and is not life-threatening. Anyone who is sexually active is at risk of catching genital herpes, regardless of their gender, race, or social class.  HSV-2 infection is usually passed on during vaginal or anal sex. HSV-1 is usually transmitted by oral sex (mouth to genital contact). This is also important information to have for your peace of mind and for your partner’s peace of mind. Most herpes cases are treated with antiviral drugs. Drug therapy is not a cure, but it can make living with herpes easier.  Initial treatment: If you have symptoms such as sores and swelling when you’re first diagnosed with herpes, your doctor will give you a brief course (7 to 10 days) of antiviral therapy to relieve the symptoms or prevent them from getting worse. Intermittent treatment: Your doctor may prescribe an antiviral drug for you to keep on hand in case you have another flare-up. You can take the pills for two to five days as soon as you notice sores or other symptoms of an outbreak. The sores will heal and disappear on their own, but taking the drugs will speed up the process. Suppressive treatment: If you have outbreaks often, you can ask your doctor for an antiviral drug you can take every day. Anyone who has more than six outbreaks a year should use suppressive therapy, which can reduce the number of outbreaks by 70% to 80%. Many people who take antiviral drugs every day have no outbreaks. While genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease, sleeping with someone who has herpes does not mean you will are going to automatically get herpes. Most people who have herpes are shedding the disease only a small percent of the time. In fact there are many sexually active couples where one partner has herpes and one partner does not have the disease. Being aware of having the virus and letting any sexual partners know about your diagnosis is a big step to preventing the spread of virus to others.
Summary:
Learn as much as you can about genital herpes. Find out your treatment options. Be aware of the facts around spreading herpes to others.
