Back in nets today after a 4 week vacation. It went surprisingly well given this long break. It's amazing how much psychological boost we get if the first ball of the day lands at the right spot 
I did not rip the first ball fully but it had decent flight and landed just outside off at a perfect length. I pretty much followed that up with about 70% deliveries landing consistently. Overall, a very satisfying nets session (bowled 5 overs). I am almost certain to start playing matches starting next month, my Captain confirmed.
One minor observation - if I raise the front arm higher and delay it by a fraction of second, it is helping me to complete the pivot of the back foot and improve flight & accuracy. Now, I am not able to pull it off every delivery and sometimes I rush it. If I am conscious about doing that, I am fine. I need to really bake that in my muscle memory. I will keep doing this drill in front of the mirror in my garage.
