when i am batting anybody with speed i back away to the leg side before it is bowled i do the same things in the nets i am only 14 9 months and i play under 15s and C grade and seem to step away from the fast bowlers any advice would be good i am the captain of my 15s side and i don't like letting the team down because i back away .So any advice would be good thanks.
 
Stand straight and very side on. Be well padded up if your unsure and possibly get yourself a forearm guard. When your fully kitted out not much will hurt you badly at junior level and even a chest protector is available these days. You need to confront your fears head on and a few knocks to your armoury will confirm its not as bad as it seems. Over time your habit of backing or stepping away will disappear and a new found confidence will emerge.
 
Step into the ball, try to pick up the delivery from his hand, but overall try to step into the ball, and play through it, i think its the fear of being hit by the ball, thats making you back away, but make sure your padded up, thigh pad, possibly arm guard,
dont be afraid, try to be aggressive?
