For future reference, the easiest way to make sure you are able to hit the ball in time is to have your bat raised and ready just as the bowler delivers the ball. This is a common problem amongst the people i coach, they start their backlift only after the ball has been delivered - too late, cos you gotta go through 2 motions then, not just the one. by having your bat raised and ready just before delivery, it means you only have to bring it down - half the motion, doubles your time to react.

And yes, as bookworm said, you oughta sign yourself up for the english team. their begging for anyone to fill their spots at the moment!
