Hi guys, long time since I've been on here! Still a busy cricketer though! Need advice, I bought a new bat at the beginning of 2013, but did not use it because it is quite DEAD, had it in the nets, but already got a huge dent about 1-2cm above the toe in the middle. I played through the season...

Were playing a 50 over match this weekend. I should bat at 4 again, but I'll find out for sure tomorrow.

Hi Guys! It has been a long time since I've been on here, and i have to say that I have made very little progress since last year. The year that went by wasn't really a good cricket year for me, At the start of the year I got a highest score of 15 opening for the school's 2nd XI (Even though...

Jacques Kallis is a legend!

Thanks that was some good advice. So do you mean that when you face fast bowlers that you can't really look at the ball all the way onto your bat and that the more you face them the better you will get because of instinct? Just a bit unsure:p

Thanks for the reply Boris, everything was useful. Here are some of the things I would like to add that you may need to know: I think this may be my problem. I think I try to put to much power from my bottom hand into the shot and that makes the shot go up. And I forgot to mention that the cut...

Hi I am 14 years old, turning 15 in April, and I play for my school's Under 15 A team. I am an opening batsman and a first change medium pace bowler. I am having problems playing some strokes. I get most of my runs with the cut and the leg glance, but I am struggling with my drives:(. I think...
