Re: jimmy33's Blog Yep, all finished. Done the last one today and now I have finished for the year. The 3 month holiday is going to be sweet. Not much to report on the cricket front, watched a bit of the All-Stars Game, I was going for Steve Magoffin, my favourite bowler ever.

Re: Breeno's Blog Echo that, well done on the win, and getting a nice not out on the way. Did you bowl at all?

Re: jimmy33's Blog Sorry. I think its because I Googled Burra and came up with some B&B or restaurant in South Australia. Ah well, Year 11 has been a hoot, it really is something to look forward to. Even though the exams can be stressful, there is no greater feeling then them finishing, and...

Re: Tests Round 7: Madrid Magic v Nairobi Nuggets @ Santiago Bernabeu Great win boys. Hats off to Ljp for ripping through them just when we needed it. Well played Quinzate1, nearly got them home, but it wasn't to be

Re: jimmy33's Blog Oh my bad, I have absolutly no idea why I assumed South Australia, none whatsoever :p Interesting concept, although I don't like the idea of Year 10's being under pressure so early. People have been sitting the TEE/HSC for a very long time without being introduced to it...

Re: jimmy33's Blog Only slightly, I guess they do things differently in South Australia

Re: jimmy33's Blog Wait, you have both Year 11 and Year 10 exams? How does that work?

Re: jimmy33's Blog Ummmm, its kinda tough to explain, sorry. Its sort of like they are bowling an off cutter, if that makes sense. Instead of bringing the fingers down the seam, creating the correct rotation, they drag their fingers down it, so the seam is scrambled. Hard to put into words, but...

Re: jimmy33's Blog Bowling, to many wides and no balls. It would be such an easy chase without all the extras.

Re: Tests Round 7: Madrid Magic v Nairobi Nuggets @ Santiago Bernabeu Yay, I am so happy I finally made a score, and a ton at that. But great work with both Benny and Sean, great work boys. Everyone pitched in to get to the imposing target and the bowlers started great with 3 quick wickets. But...

Re: jimmy33's Blog Thanks mate, I'm looking forward to being able to bat an entire day. 170 odd isn't too massive a task, and (touch wood) we should chase it down. On a bad note, we bowled 53 extras on the weekend. Pretty crap

Re: Jason Krejza -An honest appraisal Well I like him and hope he does well. I think we have to remember that he was bowling a lot of the time to Sehwag and Tendulkar, two of the best players of spin currently. Even when they were going after him he still gave the ball air, and it paid off...

Re: jimmy33's Blog Sure, I'll give it a shot. The grip should be index and middle finger gripping the seam, and the bigger distance between the fingers the more leverage you get. The thumb should just be on the ball to support it, with very little pressure applied by the thumb. "Aim for the...

Re: Australia in India Fair dinkum it is going to be some chase! 4.15 an over I think is a bit too much, but hey, maybe the hungry Australia of old may poke its head out and we get there. Or is that a bit to optimistic? Krezja is an absolute superstar! Man I love him now. Sure he goes at a...

Re: Attacking Hey, this bloke we were bowling at today played pretty much how you described, he spent most of his time blocking. Thing is, by the time he got out (to me :)) he had got 82 to his name, and I swear he hit like four 4's. So don't worry about finding the boundary at your age, just...

Re: jimmy33's Blog Mas, it is a league rule. We're only U17's so I guess the aim of the game is for the enjoyment of the game, it makes sure everyone gets a bat. It is alright, it makes outright victories far easier! Jonesy, offies are great! I've been really enjoying bowling them in the...

jimmy33's Blog Well at first I was a little worried about making a blog, especially after we got absolutely hammered in the first game. But after a better showing this week, I decided it may be best to record my season. I play a format where the match is split over 2 Sundays, where one team...

Re: Tests Round 7: Madrid Magic v Nairobi Nuggets @ Santiago Bernabeu Dang nabit! Second time I've played on when I looked good for something much better. We really need to knock these guys over quickly, can't let them run away with the game

Re: Jonesy's Blog. Congrats man, well done, hope all goes well in your first match

Re: Tests Round 6: Western Wizards v Nairobi Nuggets @ W.W.O To be honest, maybe it isn't worth tempting fate. I say not to worry about, it isn't that big a deal, I think we're all just glad that the Tests are back. And as for the game, its a bloody shame we couldn't chase down 220 odd, but...
