I'm still trying to get to grips with the video function on the camera and I'd say that I've recorded this at too low quality and I'll do it the next size up next time. Other than that without anyone else looking at this and passing comment I can see loads wrong with it. But in my defense the hall that we're using doesn't allow for the wicket to be 22yards long and therefore we can get a run up. To me it looks as though there's no power anywhere in the action, the run in looks as though it should be speeded up and the rotation of the arms is far too slow I need to whip those arms round a bit faster I reckon, but then I was bowling over a very short wicket? I'll interested in hearing your views.

Dave,
The video looks good and if u shoot it from the keeper's end.It will give a good view of Ur run up,bowling action and follow through.

We had our match today and elected to bat first on winning the toss.
Our batting clicked and we scored 286 runs in 45 overs.Our number 3 batsmen scored 111 runs and batted till 40 overs.In this match the batting order was changed and regular openers were batting at 7 & 8 for unknown reasons.
Anyway we also bowled well and bowled out the opposite team in 162 Runs.
I bowled very well with 6 Overs,5 Maidens,6 Runs and 3 Wickets.
If i had got couple of overs; I was sure to end up with 5 wickets.But captain had other plans and that was bowl himself- A big selfishness.
Anyway I was happy with my performance and tryed variations in between deliveries.
I am sure in coming days my form and fitness should good enough to perform very well for my club.

Blimey - that's amazing bowling figures! Well done - you should have got someone to video it! If you reckon you're coming into good form you've got to video it as that suggests that you might be able to improve on that and that would be truly amazing! Good work.

Virender your nets look as though they'd be easy to knock up as a temporary thing? How are they stuck into the ground? I'll look forward to seeing any video you've got, I've just sussed out how to make videos slow motion! Have a look....

Give me a couple more weeks and I should be able to shoot some far better quality, from better angles, with the right colour balance and upload them in slow motion. Keep an eye on my main blog at Wrist Spin Bowling.

Cheers

Dave

I really good batting today in the nets with batting close to 50 mins non-stop with atleast 4-6 bowlers.
Batting was good and there was no discomfort in the body or refelexes.
As i batted longer and longer my focus increased a great deal and i did got a good batting practice considering the fact that i was not present for the practice for last week due to work load.

Attached few photos shooted by my uncle.

The 2nd 2 are nice shots and it looks so nice seeing somewhere sunny and loads of people playing cricket - makes me jealous sitting here in the freezing cold English winter. I can't even get out onto a concrete practice area with plastic balls because it's too bloody cold!

Are those nets always there or do you have to put them up each day and how long does that take?
