Re: AFL Anyone watch the footy show last night? I think Browny and Lethal's comments are pretty spot on; just bounce the ball anywhere between the top of the goal square and 25 meters out for a rushed behind. That's if something has to change; but seriously, how often does this, and has this...

Re: The elements that make a good bowler - Part 1 While this is a little off topic, seeing that made me think of something that I think all bowlers know deep down, but don't always understand. I think that one phrase perfectly articulates how bowlers should approach self analysis. What...

Re: Reaction time/reading the ball Really, it just comes down to practice. As Mas Cambios said, there are plenty of drills designed to test and improve your reactionary capacities, but in all honesty, practicing against real life bowlers is probably the easiest and most effective way of helping...

Re: Whats the fastest you have faced? it's just a wild guess with the aid of comparisons against a bowling machine, but i'd be saying late 70s/ early 80s.

Re: Food, food, food - Inspire me! Oooh, recipe? Anything in browny form is great!

Re: Counting Runs When i'm counting my runs, I know i'm batting poorly (at least, poorer than most bowlers are expected too). I find it far more productive to set time or team- orientated mile stones and work towards them. i.e. batting for 30 minutes, reassessing, etc.
