    Mind games will drive you mental.

    Cricket is a great game to get you to work around the board, so that you are not just wearing out the Trip20.

    I had a friend with a similar issue who considered himself a 'cricket' player. I told him to play a game of 501 like a game of Dirty Cricket. Hit as many 20s, then 19s, 18s and then go back to 20s. It seemed to work very well for him and he got over the mental aspect of switching games.

    I had another friend who would throw bulls when she couldn't hit the trip20.

    I didn't play Cricket in our leagues for a few years (I was only playing 301 and 501) thinking that I wasn't a 'great' Cricket player. When travelling to tournaments, I discovered that I was making more money in the Cricket events than anything else.

    A little change is a good thing from time to time.
