Re: Getting Out LBW If you are a tall bloke, take guard on leg/two-leg. If you are tall and taking guard on middle then that might be a problem as you're head then hangs over on off-stump or close to it, which might befuddle your judging of the line. Generally speaking you want your head on...

Re: England in South Africa Yeah definitely agree that AB is a middle-order batsman, but the question we should be asking is whether or not he will do a better job than Ashwell at the top of the order? Hell they might even let Amla open seeing as he comes in after 5 overs anyways. Thing is...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) Haven't seen Imran Tahir yet. Paul Harris is so annoying. Unfortunately he takes wickets, but if you have a look at how he takes his wickets you'll note that 80% of them are bad decisions made on the batsman's behalf and not because he bowled good deliveries...

Re: England in South Africa I absolutely agree with you Hattrick. Arthur just keeps smiling no matter what happens. And I've also been ranting somewhat on another forum about the management behind the team, which is just not good enough I feel. We tend to give players more rope than we...

Re: Help me play a cut shot Well yeah it is a bit of a mind blank. I guess the problem is everything you just mentioned. I have a trigger movement bringing the back foot across to about between off and middle and then bringing the front foot to middle, because I had trouble pulling/hooking a...

Re: England in South Africa I think the major problem with South African cricket at the moment is none other than the media. Say what you want about the pivotal role the media plays in sport, other than just coverage. Look at the role the media plays in the cricketing in other competitive...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two) Hello, happy to report that I found the thread:D Don't really know if you guys would want my insight as a keeper since I'm only playing at school level, but I'd say I'm doing a modest job. One thing you might want to pass on, and this I learned from a...

Re: Your funniest/most interesting cricketing stories Accidentally went out to bat with a phone in my front pocket. Ball hit me whilst I was on the back foot, missed the thigh pad, hit the phone, and I got given LBW. When I got off the field I noticed the phone in my pocket for the first time...

Help a keeper bowl leg-spin Hello I've been keeping for the last 3 years to keep a spot in the team, and even though I enjoy it, I enjoy bowling in the nets when I get the chance much much more. I have a passion for leg-spin bowling. I'm a right-hander. During the last week I decided that...

Help me play a cut shot Hello I've been playing cricket since I first got into school, and right now I'm 16 fighting for a spot in the school's first team. A year ago I was probably nowhere near getting a spot, but then my batting finally caught fire this last season. This was the first...

Re: South African All Time XI (Tests) What disgusted me most of the selecting was that AB De Villiers was in contention for a spot as a middle-order batsman. What was cricinfo's argument on having KP in the England squad?
