Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association Not that most people wouldn't be aware of the impact on their clubs, but here is the general look of things... Burnside Springs (A grade to B grade). St.Andrews (B grade to A grade). Vic/University (C grade to B grade)...

Re: Pro Bowling Actions? Spot on, Scott. I can't wait til I get a decent digital video camera so I can upload videos of a couple of my kids for critique's sake. But there are four in particular that have enormous potential but that have all the issues that are likely to come up with young...

Re: Pro Bowling Actions? There really aren't huge amounts of young international standard, or, well, even first class cricketers that have really dangerous, mixed bowling actions. They just don't make it through the cracks now. I know more and more grassroots clubs in Australia are investing in...

Re: Blueprint to rebuild Brett Lee In a nutshell: Yes, pretty much. One of the major drawbacks of international cricket is that there is no real recognised lay-off and pre-season times. A rugby, or AFL player will finish their season and in some cases, especially for those around the 30...

Re: Fisher Bats I don't own one personally, but have played with, and against, many people that do. I've probably had hits with 4 or 5 different makes though. Incredible bats- probably one of the best bats you can get in that price range. And customisation just emphasises that fact...

Re: Wrist Excercise. Thick bar/ Towel/ Rope chin ups. Done and Done.

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association Cheers. Just interesting to see what reasons are being bandied around, and by who. Don't mean to come off any other way. But hey, i'm sure there'll be heaps of rumours and conjecture that floats around this year about what happened. Especially...

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association There's only one truth in that. And that's the executive is made up of women. The general committee is 5 men, 5 women. Oh, and that our primary concern is junior development and integration- not too many 6 year old clubs that would have any other...

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association Funny post. What is the story going around the traps? I don't mean that in an inflammatory way. I'm legitimately interested as to whats been said.

Re: Anthropology I'm ah, going to definitely go with Scott on that last one...... I might give answering these questions a go a bit later. I did a unit on Sport and Australian Society last semester, which was interesting.

Re: Fast Bowling Study next time you're in Melbourne, you're more than welcome to come down and watch a session with my under 17s. hell, seniors might appreciate it too! ;) I know from taping myself that i'm guilty of excessive lateral flexion. I used to close off my back foot as well (or...

Re: Trigger Movements Trigger movements are honestly the most over- discussed and unnecessary part of batting. I'd agree with Scott: More than anything, just concentrate on getting your head in line with the ball. If you feel you absolutely need a slight back and accross movement to set...

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association Good game at Angliss so far. Very tense, and probably not the most welcoming game, but I doubt anyone from either team (or any team in the association) expected any different. We started poorly with the bat (getting run out for four wasn't...

Re: spin - left arm around wicket bowl over the wicket to the right hander! i'm not sure whether you're bowling chinamen or orthodox finger, but... either gives you the capacity to flight the ball away from the right hander, and move it back into/ away from him. immediately more dangerous...

Re: Cartiliage Damage I'd suggest going to a sports injury specialist, rather than a physio. While the physio should be good for some general rehab, they're not always the most understanding about our compulsion to HAVE to play sport ASAP... Liz is the qualified (p)rehab specialist here. So...

Re: Western Suburbs Churches Cricket Association this week was a major, major blip for c/s. honestly never been more embarassed. it was a piss-piss-piss poor effort. fielding effort was dogshit, drop catches, piss weak ground fielding that gave away min. 40 runs. batting was undisciplined...

Re: Australia in India not to mention that none of lee, johnson and clark can really be called bunnies! here's hoping that those three don't need to do anything though. I wanna see a big day for watto and bear white

Re: What do you do? Pitch it up. Mix up your speeds. You can just about try anything... Except drop short. and the last thing that you should do is drop your head. i think everyones had moments where they've been bowling a treat just to see the batsman dispatch them to every corner.

Re: Good Healthy Breakfast Eggs. And Beans. And Milk. And a bannana. Just please, please, don't sit next to anybody that you like even a little bit. ps take my nutritonal advice with a grain of salt. my average lifting/ cricket day brekky looks like; 4-6 eggs (free range- cooked however!)...

Re: lower back muscles Possibilities are endless! If we're talking in season, and you've not done any weight training before, i'd be going down Liz's path of side planks. Throw in some reverse hypers, walking lunges and unweighted overhead squats too. Increasing the strength of your hams and...
