Shane made the point that, when you’re batting, you can only focus on one thing at a time and, unless you’re intentional about directing your thinking, your brain will take over the initiative on your behalf, often favouring your negative voice: I’m going to nick off, I’m batting poorly, or I’m going to lose my wicket to the very next delivery. To prevent my mind from wandering in those situations, Shane suggested that I select a specific behaviour or sequence of actions to put all my focus into.
