I've had a pretty poor season - in between the constant rain, I've been bowling pretty poorly. I'm playing at a decent level and club seems to have confidence in me, but myself, not so much. Back in juniors I used to bowl great outies, which I lost late last season. I have an open action but...

Love the new blog/front page. I'm sure I'll get used to the forum side of things. Change is good!

Re: batting coaches Sorry I didn't read your post properly, woops!

Re: playing against senior bowlers for the first time I've just finished my second season of senior cricket, and I remember the first few pre-season training session where I had to bat. I'm not a batsman (although I like to think I'm pretty handy now) and I was initially dreading it. You...

Re: The Music Recommendation Thread Yves Klein Blue. You'd recognize them from the Mitsubishi Lancer ad where two people are throwing stuff into the boot from a window, but they have better songs than that. YouTube - Getting Wise Got their album Ragged & Ecstatic a month back, it's pretty...

Re: Virender's Blog Haha, nice Boris. Just saw this today, congrats V! That's awesome news mate :)

Re: someblokecalleddave's Blog All last season I never really went up for much - it was my first season of senior cricket so I guess I didn't really feel sure about shouting for much if I didn't get support from my teammates. This season I decided to go up much more and it's worked for me...

Re: Help, am i tall enough?? Which one are you, because 5'7 is about 170cm, isn't it? You don't have to be tall, if you put it on a good line and length you'll be hard enough to play.

Re: Your funniest/most interesting cricketing stories Great idea for a thread. Lol, the second story would have been so hilarious. I've only played a season and a half of senior cricket, so I haven't experienced much but here goes: Story 1: We played some bogan team, we bowled them out for...

Cricket Australia's City-Based T20 Plan Anybody heard about this? Basically, Cricket Australia are replacing the T20 Big Bash with a new tournament that they are hoping to have an AFL/NRL type following for. The 6 State Associations will take over their respective city teams, and two more...

Re: protective gear Haha why just the left pad? Couldn't find the other? A guy who fills in for our club who keeps, does it with just gloves and (I think) a box.

Re: Pull Shot problems Pretty sure most of them didn't have a choice. And I don't get what's so smart arse-y about paddle sweeping?

Re: how to bat for spin bowling Disagree. I just watched a guy take apart a seconds bowler today. He had no answer, didn't look one bit like getting him out. I just think saying any half decent spinner is going to get anyone who takes them on out is a big imaginative.

Re: someblokecalleddave's Blog That's pretty crap, I really don't get what they were thinking, breeno. We've had a few weird selections this week, as well. We're playing 2 keepers in the 2nds, one of which bats at 9 :S Dave, those kids sound really shitty. I love it how they're fielding at the...
