Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association Considering the round will inevitably be cut down to one day matches because of the nice and mild prediction of 43 degree weather, there may be some interesting results... St. Andrews over Roosters - I actually think the roosters may have been...

Re: Facing Good Seam Bowling If that's the case, and the bloke has just run in, managed to hit the seem and got it to do something, your best course of action is just to forget about it. It happens. At the end of the day, if a good nut is going to get you, well... it's going to get you...

Re: Facing Good Seam Bowling The only thing harder to play that good swing bowling, is probably good seam bowling. With that said, you play the two just about the same. Make sure you're watching the ball out of the bowlers hand - try and pick up cues that may hint at whether it's an off cutter...

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association The current administrators do a relatively good job when it comes to organising fixtures, grounds, etc. Certainly a better job than they're given credit for. But I know there have been a couple of incidents between different clubs this year - on...

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association Not sure about the decision against Chris because I was fielding in the covers. It was only a half push, so I figured the length was good. Can't comment about the line. He figured he got his pad outside the line, I thought it hit him on the...

Re: Is Kallis the best allrounder ever Shaun Pollock was one of my favourite ever cricketers and is consistently neglected in discussions about all-rounders. In terms of team contributions and the ability to win a game with their best skill, and contribute meaningfully with the second, I rate...

Re: World's Fastest Bowler ? Mitchy J is the quickest bowler in the world over a long spell comfortably. Steyn is a probably a good four or five back in terms of pace - but is the only one that can hit 90+mph and swing the ball. Tait has the potential to bowl the quickest delivery.

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association Cheers for the offer, but i've still got a couple of things I want to accomplish with the seniors and my juniors at Caroline Springs before I move on. But hey, if you fellas need a net bowler come finals time! And cheers Moons and Pots. But...

Re: Substitution for getting you knee down to the ball. On the fielding the ball side of things... In all honesty, if I could change one skill that is taught to children from an early age, it is the knee-to-the-ground way of fielding balls. It is slow. It is defensive. It isn't particularly...

Re: Injuries when fielding...(possibly NSFW photo of a broken finger) Very nice! I had a similar (actually, exact same injury) happen to my little finger on my left hand two or three season ago. I was fielding at mid-off after a long spell, probably wasn't moving my best, and a monster of a...

Re: Creatine Like David said, we'd need to know a little more about what and how much you're eating, your strength routines and what other exercise you do before giving too much advice. Straight off the bat though, creatine really isn't a fantastic supplement for strength gains. The best way...

Re: Hayden Appreciation Thread The "flat track bully' tag ignores some of Haydens better innings. People associate Hayden with absolutely smashing the ball to all parts, but he grafted on more than a fair few occassions. If he's a flat track bully then so is every other batsman in international...

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association Pretty interesting round. I'm glad we're back into the two day games now though. I can't stand the 35 over games. I would have loved to have seen the Willi Congs- Centrals game. Congrats to Hayes - definitely won the game for his team. Another...

Re: Opening the batting Self confidence. If you're opening the batting against a brand new pill, regardless of how flat or difficult the wicket is, the second self doubt creeps in, you're a goner. An opening batsman can be technically perfect, have a fantastic temperement and do all the...

Re: Top 5 test pace bowlers at the moment? Binga's biggest issue is the amount of weight he lost over in India. In all honesty, I can't believe he played the New Zealand series, and can't believe the selectors lacked so much foresight that they picked him for the saffers series. No FAST bowler...

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association 27th - 31st at Royal Park. I think the games start at 10, but I'm not positive. 100 overs in a day, so I think the earlier start is probably the right one. Rate the squad, especially the bowling depth. They're all very different bowlers, which...
