That's great to hear. Your season starts first week of October right? Sounds like we both should have good seasons with the ball, (fingers crossed) as I am quietly confident in the way the ball is coming out of the hand at the moment too. Also is it just me, or do offspinners get more...

Cheers, yeah that's what I was thinking. Hopefully this year a couple of our bowlers can improve their batting. Otherwise we might be in for a tough season. For context, one bloke who batted at no. 8 for us last year - the keeper - is batting no. 4 now. And back then we weren't exactly getting...

Nice man. Hopefully you can carry that bowling form into the games. On another note, in my team we have four recognised batsman and the rest bowlers... So if I win the toss, considering we have a strong bowling lineup, what would you do if it was a relatively normal, flat pitch? Bowl first and...

True, whenever I've tried offspin I've always bowled sliders haha. Yeah that all makes sense. I really like that idea of seeing how short you can bowl whilst getting the batsman forward too.

When you do this drill do you mostly use topspin or do you vary it and bowl with sidespin too? Wondering cause sidespin deliveries are generally flatter.

No, never tried that, but I think it would be very worthwhile. Definitely something I'll give a go in the next few weeks, should help with dip too technically?

Nice, that sounds great. I don't get much turn on syntho, but just as long as I am getting that fizz off the fingers, and the dip and drift in the air, which you seem to have now, it should turn big on turf.

Nice, wow three four fas in a row is awesome. Was that when you had googly syndrome? Good fielders are key for spinners.

Is this one of your best seasons ever?

That's a good breakthrough to have just before the season

Well when I play grade and work my way up the ranks I will try and get a gig with an english club side. A lot of people in my club do that.

Man, I'd love to come over to england for a season of village cricket. Beautiful.

Hmm, yeah pace and flight are tough to master. Right now I just need to cut out the odd full toss and one down leg, then I should be right for the season. That's a shame you haven't really got to play on turf much. We get to train on astroturf and play games on turf. Turf is a dream to bowl...

Thats good to hear. How is your bowling coming along too? Do you train on turf or astro in these trainings? For me, if I get my straight drive right then I know I'm playing well.

Nice man, hopefully you can work your way up in the B grade too.

Well I'm an opening batsman, but I actually find it the opposite. When I score runs, I have more confidence in my bowling, and seem to bowl better. However, alot of the time I don't score runs, and I just bowl alright. So in short, most of the time my bowling is alright but it's my batting that...

I'm the same. Its the best feeling when you get a wicket just before drinks so you get an early drinks... then when you come back on the field you still get to bowl the rest of your over.

Cheers. Yeah what is it about getting wickets first ball? Happens all the time for me too.

My stats from 4 seasons are: Overs- 288.2 Maidens- 17 Wickets- 72 Average- 17.32 Strike Rate- 24 Economy- 4.32 It would be nice to reach 100 wickets this year. All I'd need is 28 wickets in 20 games or more if we make finals. Keep in mind that these seasons range from u14s to u18s. If I take...

Wow man, wicket taking weapon.
