Quota row leaves Arthur's job under threat Correct me if im wrong but i thought they had abandoned the quota system? it seems wrong to lose a good coach over something like this, surely his job is to pick the team he thinks will do the best job? not at all good for SA cricket (might help...

Pre Season - How to go about it I've been chatting with the various captains of the club I play for and we were wondering if anyone on here has advice on how best to structure pre season nets. We want to move away from just turning up and having people bowling and batting for 2 hours and...

Golden Oldies of Pace Stumbled across this on youtube and thought it was worth sharing. Seems to be some kind of pace bowl off from 1979 featuring the top pacemen of the day. The best thing about it is the slow motion look at their actions from a side on view, interesting to see how they...

Strauss to join New Zealand club I think this is a good move, means that he has a chance to get cricket under his belt, gets use to the conditions over there and can be in standby if needed by the England team. Maybe its a going to be a trend where Moore's encourages his players to play...

West Indies and Zimbabwe Just saw that there isn't anything here for this series. It may not be the most exciting but should have a mention. After the great Zimbabwe win the other day, things were back to normal as the Windies squared the series today with a 110 run win. I'll update the rest...

Adding agony to injury I saw this and thought of this forum. It's from cricinfo and their series of Indian cricketer blogs and is about injury and also the mental side of it. I enjoyed the read and think its interesting to get anothers point of view on these matters. Cricinfo Article

Tendon Pain I have been told that I've pulled (strained) a tendon in my knee. It's painful in starts and stops and seems to clear up only to come back after a few days. I've tried resting it, leaving it for 4-6 weeks but it's still there. The pain is on the outside of my knee\leg. What am I...

Name Change Is their anyway of chaning the name that I have in the forum? I only used Stantheman as I needed to think of something quickly, and on second thoughts would like something different. Have had a look in the settins but no joy - can anyone else help?

Members -double nelson Watch out, the number of members is a double nelson, get your feet off the ground! Where's Shepard when you need him :laugh:.

Harrowdrive's drills Not sure who else checks out the Harrowdrive site (run by David) but he produces some great drills on a regular basis. Check out this one here - Duck Shoot. Well worth a look if you haven't already. Maybe the admins here should strike a deal with David to show a few of...

How many grips do you have on your bat? Just a little thread - was wondering how many grips you lot have on your bat? I use 2 and half (the half being at the bottom). Can anyone match the great Clive lloyd who used to have something like 7 or so?

One for Darren! Darren, After seeing your great reply to the eye problem I was wondering if you could give me some pointers (although the net can't beat 1-1 tutition, it may give me a place to start). I'm not a bad bat but find myself getting tied down to easily, especially if the bowling is...

Wicket Keeping I want to take up keeping have no idea how to start. I've messed around in the nets and at practice and think that I have a bit of flair for it but want to know how to take it further. Also, what kit will I need. I know about the pads and gloves but is there anything else...

Slazenger - The Don Has anyone else seen this bat? I'm thinking about buying one (if I can find it) but would like some more information before shelling out the cash. It looks a beast and has most of the usual Slazenger gubbins, but I really want some feedback from someone who has at least...

The modern bowling action There seems to be an increasing trend among fast and fast-medium bowlers to use the "open chested" type bowling action with the pace generated mainly via the shoulder. Ntini, Harmison, Flintoff, Maharoof etc use this action as opposed to the more classical "side-on"...
