Wodonga cricketer Jack Gilbee adopts simple approach to batting

"I'm definitely see ball, hit ball, that's my go," he suggested.

"I don't think too much, I remember one day I left a ball and got bowled and (team-mate) Bob (Jackson) said, 'never leave it again'.

"I try to keep it simple and I'm enjoying these short games as well."

The aggressive right-hander hammered East Albury's attack last week, smashing an unbeaten 30 from just 14 balls, with three boundaries and a six.

A two-time premiership player at Wodonga, Gilbee left the club after 2017-18 to help his dad Brett at battling district club Bethanga.

"Dad was crook there for a while, he's good now and that's where I grew up, that's my home club, so it was good to go back, although I probably didn't do as well as I'd hoped," he revealed.

But Gilbee missed the region's highest club level.

"Cricket had taken a back seat, 100 per cent, but I was pretty keen to get back to a bit more professional environment," he said.

"I really like being part of a big club and the better players you have around you, the better you play, I concentrate more."

But Gilbee admits it's a balancing act for him to guarantee he's playing at his best.

'I'm one of those people that if I'm too involved it can count against me," he admitted.
