You have to stay fresh and blank in your mind when you go out to bat. You complicate things, and you're gone.

A mind too active is no mind at all.

The mind is a monkey, hopping around from thought to thought, image to image. Rarely do more than a few seconds go by in which the mind can remain single-pointed, empty.

The mind can be but full. It will be as much filled with a small disagreeable occurrence, having no other, as with a large one.

A mind which really lays hold of a subject is not easily detached from it.

A mind lively and at ease, can do with seeing nothing, and can see nothing that does not answer.

The body has a mind of its own.

A closed mind is a dying mind.

If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad.

Obviously, a lot of things play on your mind when you're batting. This might happen and this might not. The best thing you can do when you're batting is not to think too much, and wait for the next ball.
