Facing genuine pace feels rushed because the setup is too big, not because you are too slow. Shorten your backlift, get your trigger movement done before the ball is released, and watch it from the hand rather than off the pitch. Then decide your short-ball plan in advance: play, duck or sway. Batters who have made that decision before the ball is bowled look composed; batters deciding in the moment look hurried.
