"My only problem is the fear that opposition bowlers might go for my fingers and that's why I was scared of the short ball. Now I am struggling with the ball pitching up and swinging away. I just keep nicking that one"

In this quote, previous Australian cricketer Shane Warne is expressing his worry of dealing with short balls from opposing bowlers. He is stressed that they may deliberately go for his fingers, which could lead to injury. This fear has caused him to deal with dealing with short balls and has affected his performance. However, now he is facing a various difficulty - the ball pitching up and swinging away. This has triggered him to constantly nick the ball, which suggests he is not hitting it cleanly and is going out. Warne's words reveal the psychological and physical difficulties that come with being a professional cricketer and the continuous need to adapt and get rid of challenges.
