Re: Falling apart; Ankle worries. Hi Jelly Beanz and Liz, Jelly Beanz, I had a pretty similar ankle injury at the beginning of last year (Jan). Rolled it playing football. It got so bad I couldn't even kick a ball without getting a huge pain and my foot going numb and me go off the field...

Re: Free cricket coaching: Volunteers needed for case studies I'm interested in that but I'm based in Australia and our season will be over in about 2-3 months. Is that ok? I am as keen as a bean :)

Re: Falling apart; Ankle worries. :ohmy: How can you not like pineapple :ohmy: I have a similar problem with my right ankle except I have broken it just strained it really bad. Wobble boards are excellent for stability or even just using a pillow to a similar degree. I've been trying single leg...

Re: How to improve your cricket endurance if you hate running Hi Everyone, Should this type of training be done every day or 2-3 times a week etc? Regards, Danny

Re: How to improve your cricket endurance if you hate running Hi David and Liz, How often (minimum and optimal) would you say is needed to see improvements? Regards, Danny

Re: Team Tension That's where I think my club is going wrong. We have a leader who has been at the club for years and years so he has got to know certain players over others and even though the abilities of newer players may be better, he will choose the longer-term players because he has...

Re: Team Tension The age factor does play a pretty big part along with the amount of time spent at the club (which I guess is an age factor). It also doesn't help that we have a player/coach who has been playing for a long time so he knows all the long-time players more. I believe jealousy also...

Re: Team Tension Cheers Liz, Haha getting money out of my club is like drawing blood from a stone :) I think my club as a whole doesn't have the team bonding thing down pat. It seems to be segregated into 1st, 2nds and 3rds. It just pretty horrible when team mates don't get along. I'll keep an...

Team Tension Hey Everyone, Just a quick question to get everyone's brain working and as I'm bored at work thought I'd do something constructive :) How do you guys and gals deal with tension between team 'mates' e.g tension between yourself and 1,2,3 other players. Also to further this...

Re: Several Fast Bowling Questions I agree. A view of your whole run up would be much better. I'd say you need to be a little more upright, you seem to be falling away to the right a little to much. Your follow through is good however again a little to much to the right. Also with your front...

Re: Stretching Well Liz I don't wanna get to extreme. It's all about progressive overload :) see I'm learning :D

Re: Stretching Haha hey I'm a decent looking guy ;) Liz I have the snorkel and the wet suit all lined up. We have one of those bath/spas so I might turn the spa on for added danger :laugh:

Re: Stretching Haha excellent. And there I was thinking it was a silly question. Looks like I'm having a bath tonight :) oh and stretching in there of course :) Cheers Every1

Stretching This question is kinda strange but I have always wondered. If you have a hot shower, would this warm up your muscles enough to allow you to stretch without doing harm? As I've learnt, it is harmful to do static stretching before a warm-up and should only be completed as a warm-down...

Re: "Front on" or "Side on" action ??!! I'm pretty sure I have a mid way action. My back foot lands half way between facing the batsman and facing the umpire (hope that makes sense) So am I correct in saying checking that my hips and shoulders are in line will ensure my...
