A friend, who was a captain that hardly bowled me, said to me "I got the job to help the team win games, not make friends". Basically if he felt that someone could do a better job than me at the time they got the ball, not me. My way in took time:
Bowl really well in the nets and let the...
If you're asking for the best batsman right now then you're talking about a form and results thing. This is a different question to "who is the best current ODI batsman?".
The batsmen in form right now are Kohli, De Villiers, Sangakarra and Williamson. Looking at those 4 you have to go with...
Definitely change if you play to bowl and they won't bowl you. No point playing for them if you're not enjoying it.
This may not apply to you but sometimes there's more to it than what you think you should be doing for the team. We used to have a quick bowler at the club who thought he could...
Good gear in NZ tends to be expensive as we don't make much of it and the rest has to be imported. The cheapest good quality bowling shoes I can get have to come from Oz, I've tried retail outlets and other links in NZ but they are always more expensive.
I've never played in England but having...
One of the best sketches of all time! Thanks :)
Cricket's problem for adults in NZ is competition:
- Takes too long (people of playing age work weekends)
- Costs too much to play (equipment, fees)
- If you're good but not excellent there's no money in it
If I played football (which NZ is crap...
Yeah, it does. India has struggled to find a decent consistent spinner since Kumble retired and Harbhajan's form deserted him, Kartik offered far more skill and consistency than Ashwin and Jadeja will ever have.
To me it means that the best practice is the one that offers the most variation of all variables and where your success is measured on the outcomes and not necessarily a perfect execution of technique. We do this all the time:
Looking to hit wide of cover, ball is slightly too straight, bat...
We'll ease this back to legspin shall we?
Batted out the end of the day so we could get a winning draw on Saturday. We had a significant 1st innings lead but our batsmen proceeded to go down like fresh pies, came in to put the draw beyond doubt by using my technique and mindset I take into...
Cleanprophet has given his bit and you will get different replies for this as we're all different.
My advice doesn't answer your questions but hopefully is of some help.
I have poor eyesight, because of that I spent most of my life at 11 and received next to no batting coaching. Thankfully...

I have to say that this is one good thing T20 has done, there's no room for finding your rhythm or bowling any looseners, you have to be on from ball one.
Now that I'm older I enjoy T20, a couple of wild swings that send reasonable balls out of the park just give me something to work with (shut...
Played cricket with a guy that could bowl legitimate left and right arm finger spin (off-break, arm ball and finger spinners toppie...with both arms!).
The look on the oppositions faces when he would swap was hilarious.
He preferred bowling right arm but if the footmarks were in a good place...
Dilshan has an interesting variation for an off-spinner.
Basically it's a carrom ball but he gets it in the wrong position so it just swings and drifts in.
