I'm not sure whether you are trying to avoid bowling them, or avoid facing them whilst batting?

If it is batting you probably need to get down to the nets and practice facing some to get comfortable playing the right shot. We all tend top practice are other shots, but never the dreaded full toss.

The easy option is to play the full toss with a straight bat as it reduces the risk of missing it for two reasons. First the bat is straight, maximising the hitting area. Secondly, your eyes will pick up the line before the length; the straight bat reduces the margin of error for the line, but makes up for this factor in assisting you in judging length, or in this case the height of the full toss.

If it is bowling look at where you want to bowl. Don’t look at the batsman or the stumps when you bowl, but rather at the spot where you want to pitch the ball. You are much more likely to hit your target when focusing on it.

You must have a quick arm speed. The magic happens when you have a quick arm speed and a bowl that comes out slow. It means the ball will drift and dip with all the energy you put into the revolutions of the ball. Good luck.
