Re: Clever Bowling 4-5 outswingers on off (or close as possible) then an off cutter McGrath style. Generally seams to end in a mis-timed shot or a bad shot for me and goes upwards. Still a work in progress though, want that ball cuttin like 10-15cm in!

Re: Aero Gloves? Personally I don't get the point in all this new smooth styling. The older style works.. pretty damn well, why change it? Seems a bit fad-ish to me..

Re: High-tech bats to be made illegal if it ain't broke dont fix it... bats are where they should be right now. Which is at an equal level of 'technological advancement' to the ball. Cricket is the great game it is because of the simplicity, but intricacies that result from our red leather...

Re: Mixing it Up also... sometimes it's good if they're gettin on that front foot and bangin it... if you've got a good captain he'll notice, change the field - make them play a different shot and hopefully make a mistake =D

Re: playing slow straight bowlers how're you getting out to them? Caught? Bowled? Stumped? Bounced into oblivion? Full toss LBW? ahaha.. well the first 3 atleast.

Re: Mixing it Up top of offstump, moving away slightly. Get a ball which moves in too (inswinger or cutter of it doesn't swing in), slower ball if you're quick enough for a slower ball to not be slowwwww and smashable. Also, the wickie today really helped my line and length. Simply said "aim...

Re: Contrast swing our indoors were like that, no good really. But then too bouncy isn't good for batting practice either so it's swings and roundabouts I guess.

Re: Contrast swing shhh. Play on our net of death and then tell me that. It's madness. The ball bounces at head hight from a good length sometimes! Morgs bowled one on off/middle ish pitched a bit full and it seamed across and bounced right up to the thigh.. that's my excuse anyway ;P

Re: Contrast swing Sorry man. Get paid tomorrow - thigh pad coming my way. THe massive green bruise was enough to persuade me.. hehe. Good weather this weekend I hope. Then you can hit THEM on the thigh..

Re: Contrast swing yeah, I've definitely got an action which swings the ball away anyway - so that's a factor. I'm currently in the motions of making my jump into bowling a little bit higher to create more pace, lets see how the swing goes if I get that going

Re: Contrast swing No, because a) I hate you and b) your 'contrast' swing gave me a massive bruise on the thigh. Cheers. Ahahaha, but seriously, I get away swing too with new ball swinging it the contrast way..

Re: England Launch New Kit loving that twenty twenty shirt. Might even purchase one!

Re: your run-up? 13 steps medium-jogging pace, slight speed up towards the end..

Re: Post Pictures of your Kit! the reason he said dont knock the middle in is just to keep that liveliness in it, I read that basically you can knock it in and it will lessen the chance of a breakage, but it does deaded in (as mas said..), but edges and toe are pretty important.. probably...
