I quit when I was 16, I'm 18 now and will probably play again when the next season comes around. I've done a few net sessions with my brother and bowled frequently in the backyard, it was more or less out of boredom but it sparked my interest once again (I haven't bowled much recently due to...

My journey has been a rather interesting one, I'll need to break it down a little so that you can all get a rough idea of what types of things I had to go through. 1st Season: I already knew how to bowl before I started playing the organized formats of the game so it was natural for me to stick...

This is the reason why I end up with lots of injuries, for those who don't understand what is going on I will have a brief explanation below. Image 1: I have done a bad throw down the 3rd base line (I'm catching) and my brother has came around and fielded the ball after it had came off the...

Have a laugh on me: Broken Collarbone (left) Playing Football at primary school, you call it a hip and shoulder, I call it a shuttle launch. Broken Wrist 1st (right) Thought it was a good idea to stop soccer ball with one hand. Broken Wrist 2nd (right) Jumped down a slide, hit the bump halfway...

Temporarily dislocated my shoulder last night... It all started when I was showing my mum how to bowl the different variations (with a ping pong ball) in kitchen Cricket, everything was going well until I decided to bring out the "mystery ball" at the very end. It's essentially one of those...

Mildura: Wednesday = 42 Thursday = 34 Friday = 30 Saturday = 31 Sunday = 33 Monday = 35 Tuesday = 38 Wednesday = 38 Melbourne: Wednesday = 25 Thursday = 29 Friday = 29 Saturday = 27 Sunday = 22 Monday = 21 Tuesday = 21 Wednesday = 20 *These will obviously change. All I hear on the news is...

Here's some of the highlights for those who haven't seen his innings yet. Watching the events unfold on Cricinfo was an interesting experience to say the least. I remember reading the commentary when he was on about 36 and jokingly said to my brother that he's probably trying to knock off the...

It's a type of Baseball pitch, more specifically a type of Change-up grip. Although there's no orthodox grip/variation in cricket that resembles this (that I'm aware of) you could say it's the equivalent of a slower ball. When thrown in Baseball I think there's some pronation of the arm at...

I'm pretty certain that he's not bowling a Knuckleball. The first thing that springs to mind is that it's nowhere near the proper grip. For someone to be tucking their thumb under the ball like that you'd have to have massive hands to be able to get your fingernail dug into the seam (which he...

I really can't see Tendulkars record getting beaten, well at least for a while. For someone to break his record they'd have to be playing longer than him (which is highly unlikely) or averaging a lot higher in a shorter time frame career wise. I'm not saying that other batsmen don't have the...

I'm sorry to have to ask the stupid question but I need to get things straight once and for all. Can someone please tell me what real (fictitious if you wish) deliveries a Wrist Spinner has in their armoury and a brief run down of what they actually do? I'm an Off Spinner myself so I'm not...

I'm pretty sure that's not the case... I understand that a lot of recent suspensions/ bans have been against spinners but surely you can't think there's some ulterior motive behind the decision. If the game has been infested with a bunch of filthy chuckers then why shouldn't they put their foot...

It pisses me off to no end when the commentators hype up these bowlers who have somewhat of an ability with the bat. I can't stand the constant use of the word "hitter" to describe them, pretty much any tail ender must magically turn into one of these at the death... Anyway, I still think that...

I think there needs to be more emphasis on letting people do what feels natural to them instead of teaching them to be clones. I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't be sticking to the basics or using the "correct" technique here (at least trying to learn the correct technique), I just feel as if...

I might be a little harsh here but I kind of dislike the squad in general, it's not the case of them selecting sub-par players (although there is some questionable picks) but the common lack of experience amongst the side. I've been closely following cricket the past 8 years and everything just...
