Trigger Movements
Just a little story here. Now i don't profess to being much of a batsman but the start of this season (British summer) i was averaging around 10 or so but still feeling i could bat better considering some of the ways i got out were just poor shot selection. At the time i used...
Re: Laying a mat
we've got a concrete net with matting on top at our club and any bowler is like steve harmison on it it's so bouncy. Problem is, you go out and play on the net on the pitch in the match and its the opposite...can catch you out
Re: back foot positioning (angles)
*midway bowlers, sorry to correct but a mixed action is when the top half of your body points one way and the bottom another - thats what causes you injuries but midways all fine mines midway
Re: someblokecalleddave's Blog
haha good stuff - it could all be down to you creating the future 2017 ashes team onwards..all from the same village/town
Re: Mid-way actions??
"You usually find front on bowlers lean more than side on bowlers too."
So true, been guilty of that - that's when i start bowling wides or shorter. But to me side on feels SO WRONG because my legs naturally go front on and i can actually feel my back twisting in a...
Re: Carry
height? Mcgrath is 6ft6in and luke wright is just 6ft. I assume that extra height bangs it into the pitch better meaning it bounces up higher to the keeper.
Re: Mid-way actions??
found this article - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/05/21/schugh21.xml
Pretty interesting and the more you think about it the more it seems true, with the exception of guys like Flintoff some bowlers really do spray it all over the place. My...
Re: Australia in West Indies
tell you what though the Windies have put up much more of a fight than i thought they would in this series. They've lost by 95, drawn and lost this one by 87 - thought they'd be hammered, they're definately better than when they toured England last spring.
Re: Euro 2008
looking back on it i think it could be a blessing. Under Steve Mclaren we would have really struggled to get through the group even if we'd pipped Russia to 2nd place spot in the group - we'd be in with Spain, Sweden and Greece if we replaced Russia and we'd go out with Mclaren so...
Re: New Zealand in England
good team but i'd still like Hoggard in there somewhere, looks like he's gonna struggle now to get back in regardless of how well he bowls.
Re: New Zealand in England
yeah true MC at least he's still mid twenties and the other guys in contention of coming back into the England setup (Hoggard, Flintoff and S Jones are 31,31 and 29 respectively so i can't see them - especially the last two being around for a long time because of...
Re: New Zealand in England
I agree he's bowled well in this series but to go as far as saying sidebottom has been bad? Seriously? I'd take a look at the figures (below and before this game yes). Very even stevens and he hasn't been on form like you said but definately not bowled badly. I know...
Re: New Zealand in England
Anderson frustrates me greatly, one minute he's distinctly average and next he bowls like this. I guess he is still only young (25ish?) so has time on his hands but if he got consistent he'd be an awesome bowler cos he's quick and swings it. Reckon he'll take 9 and...
Re: New Zealand in England
well this is a rather shocking batting display by England. Went from 84-2 to 86-5 i think in 3 overs after lunch, Bell and Colly getting ducks. Now 97-5 with KP 28*
Re: Have you met any famous players?
Saw Vettori at the County Ground in Northampton the other day, he wasn't playing but came out of the indoor nets facility and wandered back round the boundary to the dressing room - followed by about 15 kids autograph hunting - didn't stop and sign any...
Yorkers
Had a look through the 8 pages on bowling but can't find anything about bowling yorkers. Now i can swing it both ways but i definately want to improve my bowling this summer when i've finished college will be netting more to get a few variation balls such as being able to bowl yorkers...
Re: King Pietersen's Blog- **Updated 02-05-08**

Re: What is the most physically demanding sport?
wouldn't know with ball sports to be honest but has anyone thought of Boxing? Try boxing with someone even if it's just on the arms and for a joke for 10-15 mins and see what state you're in :laugh: also like Manee said some of the F1 drivers are...
