I’m a right arm offie so I’d use the some rough as you [emoji16]. Although I’m also usually on synthetic too haha. I can usually pick pretty fast whether a batsman prefers the ball pitching outside off or on their stumps and I’ll either bowl over (around for you) or around the wicket (over for...

I could see 2 scenarios where you’d bowl left arm leggies around the wicket to a right hander: 1. There’s a big patch of rough well outside the right handers off stump that you could hit. Or just a shit spot on the pitch 2. The batsman is very comfortable working you off of his legs. Going...

I’d call that the holy grail of spin in general to be honest. I’ve been working hard on being able to bowl my off-spin at a good pace while being able to keep some topspin on the ball. I’m getting a lot better at it through practice thankfully because I’m getting a lot of chances to bowl on...

Made another 38(32) yesterday. Was batting well but just could not middle the ball at all. The guy at the other end is class and made 70(50) so I was doing well keeping him on strike while ticking the scoreboard along. I think I need to start training my bottom hand out of my batting a bit...

Cheers, I often do but if I’m opening the batting the skipper gives someone else some overs which I’m fine with. Yeah I was about to launch the ball at the stumps for the run out but the batsman was just standing halfway down the pitch so I had to check the throw a bit [emoji23]

Green and dark purple with a red collar yeah. We batted 2nd.

The guy with the camera was late so it’s only like that for a little bit, just need to skip ahead

Carried the bat opening chasing 115 for our first ever win batting 2nd. 41(49)

You’ll be pleased to hear that I just had an absolutely atrocious pregame net session with the bat. I think I’ve figured it out though. We’re bowling first.

I’m playing for Jo’s Angels. Starts at 9am AWST.

My game this Saturday is scheduled to be streamed and I’m opening the batting. I’ll put the link in here for you.

That’s true, although he’s quite aggressive, so like Head he might still be fine. I honestly think good temperament and judgement is worth more than a perfect technique. We could use an aggressive opener with Uz. He’s been doing it on spicy Hobart pitches so he’s doing something right.

If Weatherald doesn’t have an awful start to the shield I reckon he’s a good chance for an Ashes debut

I believe CA has them in a strength and conditioning course. This series was more to find openers, which is a bit shit because the pitches have been roads.
